Anyone who bills themselves as "The Patriot Millionaire" is someone to steer clear of.
Why do you say that? Seems like this country could use as many of them as possible right about now.

ANYBODY BUT COOPER!!!
I have to disagree just as much with that statement as with Change You Can Believe In.
As everyone in this country has seen, change for the sake of change can be change for the worst...
Not dogging Cece Heil, just the last line of your post.

XD-40 subcompact - I can present from concealment and put 2 shots to the thoracic cavity in 1.5 seconds up to 10 yards away consistently.
I can usually do the same at 15, but sometimes I rush for the second shot and it's off a bit. I need to dry practice more to keep that consistent smooth trigger control.

Oh, and great post leroy.

I personally did not ask each to see their green (actually hot pink) card.
Green cards haven't been hot pink for over 10 years now. My wife has hers, was issued in 2000, and it is a cream color. The new ones issued in May of this year are less creamy than white with lots of digital printing. So, you're info is bad at several levels...

The one you hit your target with...

I had no problems when a friend and I flew out of BNA to Vegas. They just assumed and asked if we were LEO's - that's literally how they asked it. Then looked confused when we said no, but still no issues. Just do the common sense stuff - be discrete, make sure it is obviously unloaded, follow the rules on transporting ammo and you'll be fine.

That's what she said...

Here's the inside of my business:
-
I live in the Nashville area between Hermitage and Mt. Juliet. Haven't noticed a problem or price increase yet.
FWIW, I grew up in Florida around hurricanes and just prepared for this as I would any hurricane. As soon as the flooding looked like it was coming on Saturday I made sure both vehicles were filled up and made a quick run to Wally world for a few things like water. I was surprised at how few people were at the store and that we haven't had gas problems, but today I have been absorbed in trying to recover my business warehouse that flooded and haven't needed gas or groceries so maybe I was ahead of the rush of the unprepared.
Hope all of you are safe.

I don't answer the door either, and have told my wife to do the same. We have a glass storm door that I insist is always kept locked in the rare case that someone does open the front door if someone were to knock - lots of effort to get in for the BG.
Once when my daughter was a newborn someone did ring the doorbell and knock on the door. I answered it to keep them from waking daughter. It was a guy on the porch who parked his truck at the end of my driveway. his wife was in the truck. He wanted to mow my lawn or something.
I have a small porch and opened the door and, looking as friendly as can be kept moving forward confidently into the dude's personal space as I asked if I could help him. He found this awkward and kept taking steps backward until he was off my porch and down a few steps. Conversation didn't last long, but getting inside his space threw him way off immediately and he didn't want to talk much. Of course I am always CC'ing and getting unexpectedly inside his comfort zone was an offshoot of my aikido training and worked well.
But we don't answer the door for people we don't know and aren't expecting.

Then why do they paint the slogan "To Protect And Serve" on the doors of their patrol cars?
To make you feel better as they write you a ticket thereby bringing in revenue, which fulfills the political aims of those who sit behind desks and want to be re-appointed
I think they could protect and serve the public much better by waiting just down the road from bars every night and pulling over everyone who drives away from one to make sure they are sober. Talk about an influx of DUI convictions and less drunk driving deaths.
Oh, and position an officer at busy intersections to write tickets to those who litter by dropping their cigarette butts out of their windows. MASSIVE revenue generator there...
That's serving and protecting...

I think anyone who takes personal defense seriously would learn how to defend themselves without a weapon, too.
This is why I choose to train in a martial art 6-8 hours a week. Actually, deciding to get my HCP came as a result of that training. Carrying a firearm was just a natural extension of being in control of my surroundings and dealing with a threat further away with a gun if necessary.
We train quite a bit on disarming an attacker(s) with a knife or gun and many I train with carry everyday too, so we incorporate weapon retention as well.
It is nice to know you have more options in your arsenal... Including the option to choose not to seriously injure someone even though you have the means to do so.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I think the most overlooked/hidden tax is the devaluation of the dollar. The Federal Reserve has printed more money in the last 18 months than in the previous 200 years...
U.S. government debt is increasing faster than the gross domestic product. Every dollar the Fed prints increases national debt. We pay interest on every dollar printed.
Each passing day the dollar is worth less - it costs us more to buy the same thing.
If we paid back our national debt a dollar per second, and started 150 years ago, it would still take over 150,000 years to pay back... And that was before the bailouts and Obama's spending spree.
Read this in an email from Robert Kiyosaki the other day:
Politician: “Step right up here voter. Let me tell you what I’m going to do for you. First you need to lend me a hundred dollars.â€
Voter: “But will I get my money back?"
Politician: “Sure! Lend me a hundred bucks, but only give me fifty now. That way, you’ll owe me fifty bucks, I’ll owe you fifty bucks, and we’ll call it even.â€

Hard focus on the front sight. Smoooooth trigger press.
Every time you prepare to fire your weapon, imagine the Venezuelan national pistol champion standing behind you and yelling this in a thick south american accent loud enough for the whole range to hear. At least thats what I do. And it works for me.
Had that guy as a range master out at Front Sight last year. For some reason I shot a lot better when he was standing behind me, watching my shot placement while yelling those commands for the entire group I was training with to hear.
As others have said, your current shot placement will pass the HCP course. Just remember not to be in a rush. There isn't time pressure, so relax and take your time.
I'd suggest getting some professional instruction when you can. It makes a big difference.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the info and for putting up with my sarcasm.
I'll try culling through more site links as you mentioned.
Yeah, the IWB search has been pretty futile. I might have to consider an IWB mag holster and a OWB light option. Both of those seem common enough.
Mr. Bullard said exactly that about the variety of lights - no way he could keep up with all the types out there, and I'd have to agree with him. I just really enjoy his leather and was hoping to find an option there since he does such nice work.
I'll post back if I find something. Have a great day.

Car is covered under the Castle Doctrine now, and according to state law if it's ruled a justifiable shoot, you are shielded from civil lawsuit.I'm not read up on what the list of offenses are that qualify as a "felony", but if you shoot someone in self defense, or defense of others while they are in the act of committing a felony, you cannot be sued in a civil lawsuit. You are immune. Do some reading in the T.S.A.
Look at...
Thanks! Good to know.

So what exactly does this mean? Would it allow those of us with HCP's to carry batons without getting a baton permit? Would it allow us to carry knives longer than 4" in places that ban firearms?
Matthew
It means we can open carry AK47's and RPG's
Obviously joking. I don't get it either but sounds like it isn't a bad thing.

You have no obligation to try and retreat or flee. When he broke the passenger window of the car, you could make the argument that he was trying to gain entry into the car from the passenger side. That would be a threat that you'd be justified in stopping.
You may feel it was justified. The police may agree with you and say you have no criminal liability. But would 12 "average" people agree with you if dirtbag or dirtbag's relatives sued you and it went to a civil liability trial? I've never been impressed with the common sense of the bulk of people I've encountered or that friends have encountered during jury duty... Although I haven't had jury duty since living in TN
I'm not disagreeing with you, just throwing that perspective out there.
What's the deal with people being able to or not being able to sue for injuries incurred while they were committing a crime in Tennessee? I thought I read something about that somewhere but can't remember.
-
Really? No suggestions at all?
Not even a sarcastic comment about a thread I somehow missed searching?
I'm surprised. Dang, I should have thrown in some kind of open vs concealed or glock vs xd variable into the question...

I can't seem to find a leather IWB holster for a light & spare mag. I searched on here but could not find...
My EDC holster is a DM Bullard Dual carry for my XD-40 sub-compact. I'd like an leather IWB for a spare mag and Surefire. DM Bullard said he wasn't interested in making a holster for lights.
Any suggestions?
-
You license and HCP numbers are the same and show the same, so yes it does.
Thank you.

I'm considering an IWB for a spare mag and my surefire, but no luck yet on finding a leather one I like.

My stance on gunfighting is that one should avoid one if at all possible...
