What do you think about carrying?

Probably best not to advertise on a public forum SPC(P) (Join to see), I have a Concealed Carry Deadly Weapon permit however, I will not disclose what and when I carry back home.....

SPC(P) (Join to see) I carry concealed here in Alaska. It is legal without a permit here, but you can apply for a permit if you plan to travel outside of Alaska. The permit if good for 36 other States that have a reciprocity agreement with Alaska.

I think being able to carry concealed is great, but I always respect the wishes of friends who have asked me not to bring a gun into their home. I carry a Springfield XD-s .45. It is small, lightweight, and it is loud enough to scare moose, or (so far) bears, when they come snooping around. I also, always, make sure that the gun STAYS CONCEALED. Civilians often tend to get their "knickers in a twist" when they see a gun in a public place.

I don't yet have a carry permit. I will probably obtain one soon. I would not use my weapon unless I absolutely had to do so, but it's better to have a firearm and not use it than to need a firearm and not have it. And I was trained in marksmanship by the best instructors in the world, U.S. Army Drill Sergeants.
