Leather pancake holster on my strong side hip.

Crossbreed holster in the pants ..

Carry 24/7 in a Mitch Rosen OWB leather holster. Better to not need it and have it, than need it and not have it. Recently i have been carrying a Ruger LCR-357 in coat pocket as a BUG, it seems to be working out rather well.

Front pocket...Desantis

3 o'clock crossbreed iwb

I absolutely carry on dates. Couples or people who look like couples are good targets for robbers. If a girl doesn't like my pistol I won't like her. I'm not becoming one of those guys who lets their woman dictate how many guns they can own!!! Not to mention there are always tons of girls out there, so I can afford to be picky. None of my current girls or dates have ever complained either way...

One of my friends chose not to carry on a date with this sexy blonde girl. She took him back to her place after the date was done it was a hillbilly backcountry type area. When she invited him in her decrepit home, he saw a HUGE nazi flag and a wall full of guns in her living room. She lived with her boyfriend!!! He boyfriend was out working or maybe even sleeping if I remember him right. Needless to say, my buddy stayed for a quick drink and GTFO of there. Had her bf not been sleeping/working, i think he woulda needed some help. Lesson? Girls are shady and don't leave your gun at home!

this ^^, or occasionally IWB.

like jake said, if my date doesn't like it she can pound sand.

If I were on a date, I would pocket carry so the gun would stay secure when I pull off my pants to access my other big gun. Keep my money in the other pocket to pay for the date. Ok I lied. It's not that big

Dating. Well, my wife is pretty firm in her opinion about me not dating, so that part is a non-issue.

Now when she and I go out to dinner etc. I carry strong side OWB in a Comp-Tac paddle or Milt Sparks 55BN. I like to say that I carry about half the time; the half that I'm awake.

Have you ever had to brandish your arm while on the date? Or how about brandish the arm in general?

24/7 crossbreed about 4:00 better to have it if ever needed.

We of the old school do not beleive in brandishing firearms. When the gun clears its shoot time not show time.

Oregon is where it happened. Yea your question is fair though because when I first started carrying on dates, I knew that there could potentially be some awkward moments or a girl gets freaked out. But it hasn't happen to me yet. Only probably 1/100 people will be weird about it. But its crazy because I hear stories of peoples families finding out they CCW and going ballistic. I know my folks were weird about it, it took them awhile to get adjusted now they don't mind at all.

Why do you CCW? Cuz you can, or cuz you have potential threats out there? You have a few people out to get ya? Just curious....

If I'm on a date it's with my wife. And yes I do CC on 'dates'. I'd sure hate to take my lady out for the evening and end up getting mugged or worse because I'd chosen to go unarmed. She and I both have a concealed carry permit so we're usually both armed when we are out and about. I normally carry my Ruger P345 in a Don Hume IWB holster.

What does she carry? Have you guys ever had to bust out the two guns simultaneously for bigger effect? That would be pretty insane and would make the person sh*t themselves. I think you would agree.

:sly:

I can't stand it any more! The following post is rated X.


When I'm out on a date, I carry in a centrally-located Smartcarry.
That way, when she passes her hand casually over my equipment, she will find that I am loaded and ready.


(Censor me if you must. The Devil made me write that.)

I carry IWB at 12 or 1 o'clock at all times. Yes I know, I'm destined to shoot my dick off or sever my femoral artery. I've heard it all before.

She carries a Taurus Model 85 revolver (38 special cal.) No we have never had the occasion to draw our weapons and I hope we never do. It's about being prepared to defend yourself, not about showing the world you're a bad ass.

IWB - left side - 8 to 9

There is poetry in your words, I do declare. It's obvious the Devil had a part by the color of the font. YES,,,just like I had used your words before,,, I used them again.
I was loaded and ready,, she confirmed.

Haha people always ask me that I think its a silly question though. Apparently you can't enjoy a movie these days without the potential threat of being shot so thats one reason. Another is I wanna become LEO someday. Furthermore is because I've always had an affection for firearms, why be without one?

I live in Iowa, and in my town actually in 1991 we had a mass murder at the college here from some foreigner psycho. Not to mention the Colorado shooter was supposed to be registered at my University in the graduate psych program (I'm a psych major too so yeah that would have been GREAT). My professors husband actually declined his application because he thought he was "weird" (which I think is funny because its such simple terminology for a doctorate of psychology to use)

Imo, if you live in a state that allows you to carry and you choose not to your crazy! Why let someone harm the people around you just because they have a weapon and you dont?
