These days it seems wise to carry in church, whatever your location.

Hey! I like it a lot! (But 5 1911s is enough already!)

If you are seriously searching for an AK, today's paper has probably the best deal available at this time of increasing prices. Some guy has an AK and TWELVE mags for sale for $700. That's all I know, but thought I would pass it on. http://www.mouseguns.com/class/mar2009.htm

Roy Exum: ‘Responsible’ Guns by Roy Exum posted March 9, 2009 Roy ExumOnly hours before I took a class in order to carry a concealed handgun on Sunday, a man walked into the First Baptist Church of a St. Louis suburb and fatally shot the pastor with a 45-caliber pistol. This was on the same day that a man named Anthony Carter was shot in Chattanooga at the Emma Wheeler Homes and on the very same afternoon that LaTonya Stoudemire was critically stabbed on the city’s Heaton Street. As I studied the others who were taking the firearms class yesterday, it did not appear that a soul among them would shoot a minister, gun down anyone at the Emma Wheeler Homes or viciously slash a woman on Heaton Street with a razor. The fact that we do not know why any of these three horrors occurred was precisely why people all across America are flocking to gun stores and arming themselves in an unprecedented effort of self defense. Despite the fact the economy is now at its worst since World War II, gun sales are so brisk that handguns are increasingly hard to find. Those who are taking classes in order to carry a weapon, to rightfully do so as prescribed by law, are having to make reservations as far as six weeks in advance and are willing to pay approximately $200, once you include the cost of the class ($75) with licensing fees ($115). But the most unbelievable part of the whole scenario is best reflected in the census of those who are getting licensed. People who you would have never dreamed would be carrying a weapon are now seeking such a permit – not out of fear, not at all, but to assure their safety. Doctors and lawyers and housewives and other law-abiding citizens are learning that the two biggest reasons for firearms accidents are ignorance and carelessness. They are also learning to never put your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to shoot and how to tell a police officer, if approached, “Officer, I am carrying a firearm.†Since I wrote several weeks ago that I am now among those who have decided to carry a weapon, I have been amazed at the number of people I know who tell me they have done the same thing. I am convinced the majority of these people would never use a weapon unless there was a genuine threat of bodily harm. But the better revelation came Sunday when Mark Haskins, a veteran of the Chattanooga Police Department who is also a member of its SWAT team, taught a safety class at Carl Poston’s Sportmans store on Hixson Pike that I wish every anti-gun activist could attend. If that sounds strange go back to my line about “ignorance and carelessness†because many of the anti-gun crowd suffer horribly from the same afflictions. In my class yesterday was a woman who had not fired a pistol in over 30 years, not since her Dad taught her how to do so as a teenager. As I laughed, it dawned on me that it has also been years since I shot a handgun, but this time the rules were far more strict than when we boys would once go shooting in the woods years ago. In the class to become licensed, you are taught from the very beginning that the use of a firearm is absolutely the last resort. A firearm doesn’t give you the right to shoot anyone. It is not a toy. If you see two people fighting, a gun doesn’t give you a “badge†to break it up. No, the class instead is one of the most informative, enlightening experiences you can imagine and is more about how to properly use a handgun rather than about how to get licensed. It is also about the enormous responsibility that goes with owning a weapon. Not long ago the country’s new Attorney General, Eric Holder, called for re-instituting a ban on certain firearms due to the Mexican drug wars. It hasn’t dawned on this man that guns are little more than tools and, if outlawed, the Mexican cartels will, in fact, have better access because more will be available. People in drug cartels don’t apply for “concealed carry†permits. They don’t follow the state and federal rules and laws that almost 100 million American gun owners do. Again, a gun is a little more than a tool, but if it gets in the hands of a violent person, it sadly becomes an extension of that person. For that matter, it is a good bet that the guns that were used for violence yesterday, whether at the Illinois church or at the Emma Wheeler Homes, were not used by people who carry them for self-protection. It is also a good bet LaTonya Stoudemire, now in critical condition after being slashed with a razor on Sunday, desperately wishes she would have had one. royexum@aol.com

You are always welcome to carry your gun at my church... www.waysidechurch.org on Signal Mountain. You won't be the only one carrying, I assure you. No venison, though. But we usually have coffee!

There's a Crosman air pistol holster at WalMart for about $7 that works. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9222913

They will also take it away from you if you try to go in a court house. I lost my nail clipper that way.

I carried a Beretta Bobcat four years ago when my p3at had gone back to Kel-Tec for fixing. The barrel on mine kept tipping up when it shouldn't have! But I think mini-mags would be good ammo. They seem to do well with all .22 pistols.

I'm thinking the Springfield will be more reliable and more accurate than the PF9. I have a PF9, and like it very much, however I carry a GLOCK 27 in my front pocket when I can wear Khaki pants. So, the Springfield will be better most times, but there will be other times you will need the extra concealability of the PF9. There is no one gun that can do it all. So, you really need BOTH.

I believe their rule is to give you 180 words. Just be short and sweet. You can't change a Liberal's mind, anyway. Remember what Jesus said: "Don't cast your pearls before swine."

You definitely have all the Chattanooga area stereotypes down pat. How about showing us the Chattanooga Ken dolls?

SShhhhhh! Don't anyone tell the Times Free Press that they have a terrific classified ads gun section EVERY DAY! http://www.mouseguns.com/class/classads.htm

Congrats on getting a GLOCK over your Taurus 24/7. I like Taurus guns, but you can't beat a GLOCK.

Nope, they are just apparently dis-agreeing, so it won't look like they are all in it together. But they are. Don't listen to what they say. Watch the hands. (Watch what they DO.)

When I first started carrying, I used to look around to see if I could spot others carrying. I possibly made one or two, with "fanny packs," but that's about it. Now, instead of looking for permit folks, I just try to see who might turn out to be a "bad guy." Not many of those either.

The SKS is a very fine semi-auto rifle, but your first semi-auto, in my humble opinion, should be a Ruger 10/22. You can shoot a lot of inexpensive ammo, and it will be quite accurate at 50 yards. The SKS may very soon go on a "banned" list. Also, the SKS ammo is getting expensive and hard to find.

It's true: there's nothing better than a GLOCK. However, if you want a gun you can carry with you every day, in any style of dress, you can't beat a Kel-Tec P3at. Here's mine...

Congratulations on buying an excellent pistol. There is simply nothing better than a GLOCK. The 23 is a wise purchase these days, as 40 ammo seems easier to find than 9mm.

Anybody who thinks the Dems will hold off on gun control so assure getting re-elected is naive. They WILL institute gun control, and (unfortunately) the American people who are on the dole will re-elect them to Congress again. We are on the slippery slide, and sliding will now commence.

I don't have any "bling bling" guns, but I like your. Congrats on the nice purchases! By the way, the way you spend money on guns, I'm guessing you aren't married? There are some advantages to being single.

I've noticed that WalMart almost always has a dozen or so boxes of 40S&W on the shelf, but hardly ever any 9mm. This surprises me a bit, as I thought that 40 caliber handguns were just about as popular as 9mm handguns. I guess I have been wrong! Anyway, I like 40 as much as 9mm, and have a couple of 40 pistols, so I'm not really griping. Must be a lot of 9mm handguns out there!

Swedish??

Thanks for the 99luftbalon video. I put the audio on a cd to play from my cd player I carry in my fanny pack. Got the printed German lyrics, too! Ja! Dieses Gespräch ist sehr lustig!

I have a "fanny pack" and I don't care even the tiniest iota what anyone thinks about it or me. I will be using it during the warmer weather for my portable Sony cd player, which is too big to get in a pocket. I walk 45 minutes per day outdoors, and I'm listening to German language lessons. Besides, there's no room left in my pocket, as that's where my GLOCK 27 rides.
