There's nothing like the whizzing sound a bullet makes as it passes 2" from your head to jolt the average person awake from his/her govt lie-induced stupor--specifically,the lie that"the nanny state will save you from murderous madmen."Taken from"The Market Ticker" by Karl Denninger.Background checks up 41% in Colo after last wk's shooting.Also,Cinemark has a no gun policy that their rather proud of.Your a mark as soon as one decieds to enter such places with that policy.

Good news. Maryland's "May (maybe not) Issue" process has been shifted toward "Shall Issue".

I can imagine Maryland's government hasn't given up, but things look good so far. If California legislators could read, they'd realize this weakens their stand against the Constitution. Helps citizens in several other states as well.

Congrats.

Just heard today, I think it was gun sales specifically, that in Colorado they are up 40%.  And that CCW courses (or some kind of firearms courses) are booked for weeks out.  Sorry I couldn't be real specific, but just heard it in passing.  Either way, good news!

I live in MD and saw the link on Fox. Going into the State police in two weeks for the app. Asking my ffl boss about it in the morning.

Best of Luck to ya!  Hope you get it without a hassle.

Hope that works out for you IC...What would you carry if approved?  Seems like lots of your hardware is geared towards the range, not towards hiding under a shirt.

IC.You can carry that Match with a nice Triple K Shoulder Rig. 

Redhawk .44 Mag 7.5" barrel should tuck nicely

Naa I would need a new one. That XDS looks sweet in .45.

Wake up guys! You don't need a ccw. In America, and only in America we have the 2nd Amend.! Maybe I'm ignorant to the rest of the states b/c I live in WY. Judged by 12 or carried by 6...........you decide. I don't mind breaking laws that I didn't vote on, or agree with.

Hilbilly, I have done this before, as I just commented in another thread.

But, I can't say I recommend it.  Get caught in lots of places that aren't shall issue, and you will not only forfeit any possibility of getting a permit, but will forfeit your legal status to own guns at all.

The problem is there are consequences that come into play that won't be defensible in your state (judged by 12) that fall far short of and far more likely than the ultimate price (carried by 6).

The best solution if it is important to you is to re-arrange your life and move somewhere that respects your rights.

BS hunting laws get to me on top of CCW laws (among plenty of others), but I'm still not going to break them.  Some penalties are stiff.  Well, unless you're a murderer in CA where they'll see that you get off the rap if there's any way possible.

sqlbullet: I don't understand what you said about moving to another state? As I stated, I live in WY. We don't need permits to conceal or open carry any weapon. My state respects the 2nd. Maybe, you misunderstood me? WY, and AK are the only states I'm aware of that are like this. The only difference between AK, and WY is I can drink anywhere I want in WY( no dry counties).
Sidenote: Lots of people who aren't legal to own guns do so. I'm not a criminal, I'm not robbing banks, or slingin' dope on the corner. I'm just a guy who's seen first hand the terrible things humans are capable of doing to other humans. I will NEVER be without protection for myself or my family. Period.

Not you HilBilly,  I love my Wyoming neighbors.

But the other posters on this thread who live in less "liberal" states than your's and mine.

The only comment you made that I was tempering was the idea of carrying against the law.  I have done it, but don't recommend it.

Oh, I gotcha. I was wondering what the hell you were talking about. I feel sorry for the other members on this board who are subjected to all of the red tape that comes with using the rights our forefathers set forth for us. I think everyone deserves to have what us "free" Americans have. I travel through states that don't "recognize" WY's CCP's to get home in IA. I can neither confirm or deny the allegations regarding my "illegal" carry of a firearm.
