Springfiled Armory XD-45 ACP Tactical

only time it's in the car is to go to the range.......

 

This thread is interesting. I carry a Glock 22, 40 cal for protection on the job (Fed) and wouldn't venture into some areas without it. In Ohio, one must pass a course. I believe if you carry, the gun is to remain on you holstered and concealed. If it were not legal to conceal/carry, trust me, the outlaws would still carry guns; as they do now. I know of one such outlaw that was just picked up yesterday. Micro, I like you, but I must tell you, most of the bad guys with guns are not "hicks." They are wannabe gangsters, real gangsters and drug dealers of all races in all areas urban and rural.

I hope anyone who carries is trained, educated and has a great deal of respect for firearms.

 

I respect that, I am sorry if I was offensive.

 

No problem buddy.

 

Interesting post.
My concern with many people that carry is that having a firearm available fuels a more aggressive approach to other drivers in general. This may be due to the thought in the back of their mind that they can settle any argument. I have seen "normal" guys become total and very scary @$$holes in simple road rage incidents where someone could have been killed very, very easily. It's just like the sweet, meek little soccer mom that will aggressively ride your bumper...it's simple because she is emboldened by a 5000lb SUV (just like weapon) without even knowing it.
For those with the need and the temperament, I have no problem with it. Unfortunately there are too many loose cannons out there...not including the real "bad guys"

 

ak-47 in the trunk....nuff said

 

I love guns but there is never a need to carry around a weapon like this, its to show off, its people like that that often end up in trouble. Unless your LE there's no to carry any more than a pistol. I think gun owners need to be responsible, this is not.

 

There have been no reported incidents of someone being shot by a person who is legally carrying a concealed weapon in Ohio since passage of the law. That's not anecdotal.

One could also argue that people may not act so aggressively if they think someone else is carrying a firearm. So we can go back and forth with this type of "I've seen" argument all day. That's why my earlier post stated
"I hope anyone who carries is trained, educated and has a great deal of respect for firearms." I am with you, in hoping we all act responsibly.

BTW, we all know that people check their brains at the door when they jump in their SUVs.

 

Think we are on the same page...just saying it a little differently

 

I noticed something funny about this thread. Most every time I view it, the adds/banners are advertising guns for sale, etc... Guess the software picks up pretty well on the keywords...

 

Let's get back to Brembos or something.

 

sorry whkento. this thread got ignorant real quick and I stopped checking in. this is the one I have http://www.gunvault.com/minisafe.nxg I'll try to get you a pic and will PM it to you. take care.

 

Just shove it in your glove box.

 

really that fits in the glove box?? i can barely get two small things in thewre...

 

Just joking.

 

I know the armoring branches of both MB and BMW offer all types of integrated weapons holsters for the interior.

The aftermarket armoring firms probably have these options too - Google "mercedes armoured cars".

Should be able to get the holster / part that fits your needs.

 

i carry a AK-47 in the trunk, Sig 550 in the back seat on drivers side , Sig 552 in the back seat on the passenger side, and i carry a Magnum under the seat. Incase i run out of ammo or if im lazy to grab my "GAT" i got build in guns in my C300, im james bond bitcch u better not **** around, put ur add on fire

 

And the purpose for all this firepower? Are the big boys threatening to beat you up again?

 

I've NEVER been beat in my life- I am the "big boy".
I carry because I have to. Understand?

 

I always lock the doors before starting out. Always.

 

I was raised in Maryland about 1.5 miles from Washington, DC. I grew up in the very violent 80's. Murders in DC topped 400 for a few years. Stepping on someones shoe was a death sentence in some cases. Life had no value.

I was 19 in 1989 and very, very anti-gun. I remember watching the 11 o'clock news each night just to see how many people got killed that day. On a day when no one was killed it seemed like they made up for it the following day. It was as if it was some kind of game or something.These people took pride in being murderers.

Well, anyway. I was carjacked that very year. That really reinforced my anti-gun stance. Facedown on the ground with a gun pressed to the back of your head is a life changing experience to say the least. It's no wonder why the only topic I ever debated in my college speech class was banning guns. Little did I know my views would do a complete 180.

1991- I was walking out of my apartment holding my 6 month old son while walking with my wife of 4 months. It was 3:22 PM. It's as vivid today as itwas then. We were walking to our car about 75 ft from the apartment swimming pool with about 40 swimmers enjoying the beautiful day. A man came up behind me and stuck a revolver in my back and asked me for my car keys. I slowly put my son on the ground and walked to the car while my wife grabbed my son. Lucky for us all he took that day was the car.

I can't really describe the emotional affect it had on me that day. And I hope no one reading this ever finds out. To be helpless like that is beyond any explanation I can give. All I know is my life changed that day. I told my wife that I would never let that happen again. So I bought my 1st handgun the next day. It was a Sig sauer P228. I carried it with me for 6 whole yrs even though it was a felony in the state of Maryland. It took being a victim to realize that the police are there to take reports. They can't possibly protect you or me 100% of the time. Not even 1% of the time. That's reality. So I took my chances. I remember my wife reminding me each time we went out if I had my gun.

So for those that disagree about gun control. I was just like you. Perhaps even worse but it took being a victim to change. I don't expect this will change many minds but it sure changed mine. I'm an advocate of keeping our rights. Right now gun ownership is your right. Don't let anyone take it from you.

 

Bullets go through windows you know. Even MB windows.

 

That's a pretty tough story...hope you never have a need for the Sig...

 

Because it's fun! See the smile on my face?

Believe me. I'm in no rush to draw my weapon. Thats a terrifying thought. Oh... by the way... I carry the P7 M13.
