Why not?

He answers the question posed by the OP and gives a specific reason why he may now consider getting his CCP. Seems relevant to me.

Agreed.

Sad to hear that but this thread is not really about that.

Sorry everyone-Brain fart. I apologize. I thought this was the Would You Play with a Golfer Who Had a Gun thread. Sorry. Flog as necessary.

"Would you play with a golfer who had a gun?" seems like a pretty silly question to me. How would you know? Well maybe the Kahr or Glock cap instead of Callaway or Titleist might be a clue.

Yep - not all the time, but mostly for protection against "animals"

Yes. Glock 23 (compact .40cal). Carry it everyday in a crossbreed supertuck. 5e78af05_image.jpeg

This is the gun I have as well. Bought mine in 1999. I have never carried but have at times thought about getting a CCW. Even if I did though I think I would carry a different gun as this one is kind of bulky. 

Took the family to the shooting range and met up with a friend. I had not shot my gun in a loooong time so I wanted to make sure still could and also just cycle through some old ammo. 

Being that the .40 cal in a short barrel has a good buck to it and that my wife had never shot before, we rented a Glock 42 which is .380 acp round. I have to say, it seems like a pretty sweet little sidearm. She did have a few feed issues from limp wristing, but once shown how to hold better it fired like a beauty. Now she wants one....in Tiffany Blue (see below) and I am thinking of getting one as well (not in Tiffany Blue)IMG_0631.JPG

 

Still conflicted on the CCW, for either of us. There are times I would feel bette having it, like when walking to my car after playing poker at some of the various establishments and other places I go too on occasion. I just know I would not carry every day, don't  see or feel a need for it. I have lived this long without having too, but I do sleep soundly at night knowing my Glock 23 is available should trouble come knocking at our home. 

Wife also put about 70 rounds through my .40 cal which makes me feel a whole lot better. It bothered me that the weapon was in the house but she had never learned how to shoot it. Now I feel like I don't have to worry if ever a need arises.

I have mine. I'm not sure you can carry in the casinos, can you? My dad and I always had a guard walk us out if someone has a big night. I usually leave mine in the car when we play cards in Tampa.

Tis better to have, and not need, than to need and not have.... ;-) 

Take a look at the Glock 43 too.  Pretty much identical to the 42, but 9mm rather than .380.

Since shooting the 42 have started doing some research. I know there is a massive debate about bullet size and many look down on the .380 but I feel like it's a round I can put 4-6 on target, and fast, faster and more accurate than a 9mm round. I may just go with that, plus it would be ideal for my wife for same reasons and then  we both have same rounds and can practice together.

I have never had a permit so not sure. I know the basics where you cannot carry like federal buildings, arenas, and bars, but not sure about casinos.

Did some looking and it appears you're correct. Apparently a casino is considered a "place of nuisance" (like a bar) so not supposed to carry there. I find it interesting that some places such as that are off limits. It seems like you can't carry at an establishment with a reasonable need.

CCW laws vary by state. Around here you can carry on a Reservation, including a casino, w/ permission from the Tribal Gov't. I don't know who owns the casinos in other states or how that works. Maybe one day we'll get National Reciprocity and have to figure it out.

Here you can carry concealed in any place of business if you are the owner of the business. This includes bars.

Nice! I just shot a friend's at the range. It's really compact, and shoots double tap nicely. Also, it's a real "concealed" carry. Apparently, some posters here carry 40SW with 13 round magazines. :-D

We can also get CCW here in So. Cal., but just not LA county. So, if you own property in those areas you can get a CCW. However, I'd never use it unless I'm trying to extract a family member from a gang or whatever, whereupon I'd need my CA C39V2 or Sig 716 Patrol with illegal capacity magazines at a minimum anyway. :-D

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
