How many carry extra magazine concealed carry.

[clemsonfor]

I see that an important point was missed by my earlier comment many pages ago, So I fully understand the pros of "carrying "........but what about the one big "con" that seems to be ignored or avoided to be talked about. ........again I will repeat I have rifles, but according to Canadian law we must keep them locked up , and ammunition locked up separately from the guns. They tell us that law is needed so that children or other innocents cannot access the guns.
Quite frankly I hate that they are that strict , I prefer to have a 22 with clip close by so I can shoot the **** skunks or porcupines , when I see them and not after I run to garage unlock the rifle cabinet, unlock the ammunition and run back out and....where did that **** varmit go........... But I suspect that there are pretty good reasons for that law , because I would not be able to live with myself if my grandchildren came across a gun and a clip and put them together and had an accident. So then I have to figure that there are some risks occurring when you have a pistol and clip at your bedside table, or in your jean jacket that you left in the kitchen while you make yourself a cup of coffee............is this not a concern ? ...and how do you make 100% sure that a innocent curious child does not come across a gun and clip? Maybe this is the question one should not dare to ask ?

Part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing where your gun is at all times and the state of it, meaning is it loaded or cleared. So if you have children around that would rummage and play with such an item dont leave your jacket unattended. Dont leave a loaded gun and or unladed gun and loaded mag on a bed table. Put it up HIGH with no way they can get a chair or climb to it or take the mag out and put it high or just use a small bedside safe etc.

:scratchchin: what kind of tank are we talking about here, I can think of some tanks that would give a lady a pretty fair advantage over a highjacker driving a car and armed with a handgun

Well,, The woman that was carjacked here yesterday was filling her gasoline tank ..The Thug came up from behind, knocked the nozzle from her hand ,pulled his gin ,and took her car..Don't know if she was on her phone or what..Had she been aware,, he wouldn't have been able to sneak up behind her..

Under those same conditions, Had she been driving a tank , the tank would have done her no good to

Don't make the mistake that just because we don't carry guns in Canada that we don't have them and know how to use them. The vast majority of the older generation up here grew up with firearms and were taught how to use them and respect them at a very early age, just like in the U.S. We simply don't have that basic amendment that states we are allowed to bear arms and as a result the cultural changes came about. With only one tenth of the population and ten times the space, we also have a highly visible and well equipped police force that is armed to the teeth. It's an entirely different world up here.

One of our biggest concern with guns is when we travel south of the border, because it seems to be a really big deal for nearly everyone to carry a handgun down there, and handguns are basically useless for shooting anything other then people. "Guns" is also a very blanket description of firearms and tends to blur the facts and functional differences between long guns and hand guns. It also completely overlooks the reality that there are other deadly weapons such as knives and compound bows that can be equally deadly if not more deadly given a need to defend ones self and their loved ones. As weapons go, hand guns kinda suck in many respects and if you are ever likely to accidentally shoot yourself, it would probably be with a hand gun.

I'm not looking to get into a debate here, just offering another way of looking at the situation.
If you can't protect yourself with 16 shots from the 2 guns you are wearing, maybe it's time to start wearing a sword :|

Good to know that the police are armed to the teeth in your largly rural state. That way they can protect themselvs from the perp or while securing the scene of the crime where all were killed, raped or wounded by the perp weather he used his fists, knife gun crossbow or whatever?

Police have a gun to protect themselves not you. They most of the time are there to collect eveidence, esp in a rural area where a crime may be over 10-30 mins before they even arrive!!!

People with concealed weapons permits do not shoot people for road rage insults. You dont have a clue what it is like to carry a concealed firearm. Not a clue. All you have are media fueled stereotypes. Because you live in another country, and have no frame of reference to base you opinion on, I can forgive your ignorance. But I will assure you that the weight of responsibility that comes with carrying a concealed weapon is huge. This rant is not meant as a personal attack, but a feeble attempt to educate you and others.

very true!!!

As a non criminal with a CWP why would i jerperdize the rest of my life for even pulling a gun in such an incident, let alone shoot someone!!!!

oops, a double post :| how did that happen.

Happens all the time and has for about 5 years now since a software upgrade. They never fixed the bug and the site admin said he was working on it and to point it out to him. many members did i think for almost a year, it never changed an still happens all the time?? One of the biggest tractor forums on the net if not the biggest and we get double posts on almost every thread that runs more than a page or two. Its funny this is like the only forum that this happens on?

Until about three years ago there wasn't a single reported crime in Kentucky by a CCW license holder. I haven't seen the recent figures but I can't imagine it has changed. People who go to that much trouble are not looking to commit a crime, they are looking to protect their families.

I think it was Ted Nugent that said, "an armed society is a polite society".

Back to the original thread, I am seriously thinking about getting a Hi-Point 9mm or 45 for a woods gun and a Rock Island 4" revolver for a stash it away home protection weapon. As I stated earlier in this thread I don't see there being many threats while out and about but the come home and somebody in the house threat is very real. Neither of those pistols are high quality target firearms but ten foot self defense weapons. Both have reputations of going bang every time the trigger is pulled.

And I can get both for less than $400! So if I loose either one off the tractor or cart in the middle of a sixty acre field I will not have lost much.

Now if I were going to clear a house of a Mexican drug gang I might want a $1500 hi capacity 45, but shooting a skunk, snake, or other varmint while walking around a pond is what I want it for.

I have a HI point c9 and have for over a decade. I got it as a cheap truck gun, so that if the truck was broken into and they got it , they did not get much.

It is reliable with quality ammo and would not hesitate to have it at hand. Its what my wife is comfortable with in the house as all the other handguns other than a target ruger 22/45 are compacts.

I would have used the multiquote if i realized there would of been so much i would of said, i just kept reading and reading and wanting to say things.

We are seeing a large # of carjackings around here as of late,,Just today,,another woman was carjacked by 1 of these thugs at gun point..Her small children were still in the back seat.. The carjacker drove about 2 blocks away and ditched the car with the kids still in the back seat.. Guess he didn't want the kids..

Had this woman been armed ,and aware of her surroundings,, things may have turned out differently..

Other ways they are carjacking around here is,, They bump into you with their car.. When you get out to inspect the damage, they pull a gun and take your car

I'm armed ,and aware everywhere I go

This is why i want my wife armed. She is not a violent person but assures me that NO one will get near or take her child and she will not hesitate to kill someone who intends to do harm intentionally or unintentionally as in this case. It would be pulled on that guy pointed and if not backed off or in the middle of puling her out he would be shot till he was down or out of the car.

Armed Robbers Outmatched By Female Pawn Shop Owner

News clip showing two armed robbers trying to rob a pawn shop and the elderly female employee pulls her pistol and gets off a couple of shots, then the criminals shoot back a few times. Lots of things to see here to think about.

look how the guy in the red hoodie has to keep clearing jambed cases in his firearm!!! you can see it eject two cases at one point before he runs out. each round he shoots it looks like he jumps.

Sounds like the indian owner across the street was mad that the owners fired at the criminals??? Sounded that way and i played it back several times

Good to know that the police are armed to the teeth in your largly rural state...

Small point, but so far we call them provinces up here
