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.
I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere (I looked). Looking for someone who has been through this and can enlighten me.
Moved to WA and got my WA Concealed Pistol License. Prior to the move, got an OR Concealed Handgun License which doesn't expire until 2019. Would like to keep the...
If anyone owns a Bersa 380 Concealed Carry, I'm curious if you can tell me the actual thickness (width) of the grip. Internet ranges from .94" to 1.07" so trying to nail it down. thanks!
Has anyone had success with specifically designed concealed carry pants? I need those that would work in a business casual environment with a shirt tucked, but no sport coat. thanks.
I was recently up on the mountain and stopped in at Timerbline Lodge. I noticed a lot of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) signs around and know that there is a fair amount of federally controlled land up there. I was wondering if the Lodge has the same ridiculous law keeping...
I've lived in Oregon my whole life and am an avid outdoors kind of person. I bookmarked NW Firearms a while ago and is my go to forum for any information regarding Oregon and Washington carrying. I'm 23 so new to concealed carry but familiar with the firearms my family has had since I was a kid...
First off, unless I learn something truly surprising here, I don't believe I'd want one of these. So no, I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid, just to be clear.
It would seem my Oregon and Utah cards are plenty for where I go and what I do.
- So who wants/needs this extra thing?
- Who issues it?

This news is a bit dated (2015) but good to know that the good folks in Florida don't have to worry about confiscation during catastrophes.

I've seen some older posts from previous years....
considering how these things change, I thought I'd see if anyone can give info
Clark County Fair website has the usual "no weapons or alcohol" statement.... (yet they sell alcohol)
anyhow, that sounds more like a suggestion than a legal...
In the thread enquiring about accomodations for the Great Eclipse and Mad Max Book of Revelation Hoedown it was suggested that a full flap holster might be considered concealed. I have been under the impression that in just about everywhere but the DPRK a holster worn openly on the belt is not...

In Wrenn vs DC, Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit struck down the "may issue" conceal carry law that requires a "good reason". The ruling may be read here. This language is interesting:

A New York prosecutor has announced that if the US Congress passes the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, he is confident that ISIS will exploit it, to carry out terrorism in Manhattan. He estimated that up to 2 million gun would enter New York City each year, if this legislation now pending...
I have a WA CPL and I'm thinking of taking my wife and young son to the Silverwood theme park in the CDA area. What is the legality of a "no guns/carry" sign in ID? I'm fairly comfortable reading the WA RCWs, but haven't navigated the Idaho Statutes that much.
The Silverwood theme park says...
I catch a lot of flak from my friends and even the occasional stranger, with regard to my preference in concealed carry firearms.
First and foremost I need to explain that I'm 70 years old and have carried a concealed handgun since I was 21. A long time ago it was a little unusual for folks to...
Many of you have seen the Mossberg 590 Shockwave and various scabbards that can be had for it. Washington State doesn't blanketly forbid open carry, and allows concealed carry with a permit, but only for pistols. WA also has its own definitions of firearm types, which are different from the...
