concealed carry
Concealed carry, or CCW (carrying a concealed weapon), refers to the practice of carrying a handgun or other weapon in public in a concealed or hidden manner, either on one's person or in close proximity. While most law enforcement officers carry their duty pistol in a visible holster, some officers, such as plainclothes detectives or undercover agents, carry their pistols in concealed holsters. In some countries and jurisdictions, some civilians are legally able or obliged to carry concealed handguns.

Going to the Trans-siberian orchestra concert a week ago got me thinking. We traveled on Max from Gresham to the Rose Quarter and thought it might be a good idea to carry my concealed piece but then I thought what if there are metal detectors at the concert, which there were. I'd be there with a...
A friend and I were talking last night and a discussion came up about ghost guns. I am in the process of finishing a Poly80 G19 and G43, respectively. I carry a registered XDS or XDMod 2 on a daily basis for my concealed carry but was thinking of carrying the G43 when complete.

Surprised to see O-Live giving positive coverage to situations where guns save lives. Well, at least now it's reported and not conveniently buried or forgotten. Big eph-ewe to Burdick, Prozanski and all of the other Proggies who would say that the woman would have been morally superior if she...

Will be heading to Idaho for a trip soon and don't know how things work. I know Idaho recognizes Oregon CHL but I'll be in Orofino for a few days and it's inside the Nez Perce reservation. Anybody live there or have info about this situation? Thanks
So, a guy with a CHL tries to help break up a fight, loses his balance and his gun falls out of his holster. Campus police shoot him dead when he tries to pick up his gun.
Talk about a blatant overreaction by the PSU campus police.

I am thinking about selling my Glock 19 and buying a CZ but I was just wondering is it even practical to carry a metal framed pistol? Even a compact one? I just feel like it would be super heavy. Should I stick with my Glock? I just keep hearing people rave about their CZs...
