How many here legally carry? There is a thread where everyone is showing their carry piece off. I wonder how many people can actually carry legally. Georgia is a "Shall Issue" state, meaning that the locals have to issue a Georgia Firearms License, as it's known here, unless you've got felonies on your record. As of May of next year, I'll have had a license for 10 years. I don't carry everywhere though I should. There are some places around Atlanta where you feel better armed. In all the years that Ga has offered carry permits and all the 10's of thousands of people with the permits, there has never been a case of a license holder using a gun in the commission of a felony.

Re: How many here legally carry? My first permit was issued on 9-11-01 and showed up in the mail on 9-13-01... at that point I became a legal carrier, even though I was already lawfully carrying prior to that. Had a permit/license ever since.

Re: How many here legally carry? Im' in MD where it's may issue and they refuse 99.9999% of requests. My only option (still thinking about it, got the paperwork) is to get a FL permit through the mail and then I can carry in about 26 states legally, just not my own. http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/new...led_carry.html

Re: How many here legally carry? I'm in Tennessee. We're also a "shall issue" state. I've had my permit for about three years now. I just bought a new carry piece today as a celebration of the supreme court hearing the second amendment case today. I got a Kahr CW45. I'm sitting here fondling it as I type this. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet. I'm so busy right now that it may be a couple of months before I get a chance to get it to the range. Until then, I'll stick with carrying my Kel Tec PF9.

Re: How many here legally carry? Moved to Florida a little over 10 years ago - have carried ever since. Like Tom, I don't carry as often as I should. Unfortunately, I work in a school, and I do a lot of shopping and sports activities on military bases. So any trip where I'll have to stop at either, I can't even have the damned thing in the car with me. Used to work in a convenience store - evenings and nights. Against company policy to carry - automatic termination. Still carried. I figured if some guy wanted Stop 'N Rob's money, they could have it. But if I got "that feeling" it was going to be something bigger than that, what the company front office would do to me would have been the least of my worries....

Re: How many here legally carry? Free Citizens of the State of Alaska are presumed to be armed. Prevailing Statute recognizes the inherent right to carry arms, without regard to concealment nor lack thereof. the few proscriptions to concealed carry include government schools, domestic abuse shelters (saner heads are working on this grievous insult to jurisprudence), courthouses and bars.

How would this situation arise? I grew up knowing a boxer from Maryville, TN and everyone said his hands had been registered as lethal weapons also. I always just figured it was back-woods folks making up tales (like cold water freezes faster than hot water - stoopid stuff like that). If voluntary, why on earth would you do it? And so as to not hi-jack this thread ... I carry from time to time for now on about 15 years. I have been promising myself to get a permit for 2 years now ... just have not had the time.

Are you the shooter here? If so, kudos budfox.:applause_ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336710,00.html Arizona Boy, 10, Escapes Rabid Mountain Lion Attack With Only Scratches Tuesday, March 11, 2008 Phoenix boy attacked by rabid mountain lion. PHOENIX � A rabid mountain lion attacked a 10-year-old boy north of Phoenix, scratching the child on the back before being shot to death. A biologist with the Arizona Department Game and Fish says the boy suffered scratches on his back but wasn't seriously injured during Saturday's attack. But biologist Randy Babb said Monday that the boy will have to undergo a series of shots after being exposed to rabies. Game officials have also recommended shots for other people who touched the lion. Someone who was with the boy shot the animal.

Re: How many here legally carry? I carry everyday, every where. I own an Antique store open to the public, so my revolver is always on my side. Saved my butt at least once in the store. One day a few years ago, a 20 something boy (not an "Antiquer") came in one morning, his buddy waited in the drivers� seat of the car. He walked in the store with his right hand deep in his pocket, left hand barely hooked in the other pocket. He walked past me, I was standing behind the counter, and quickly scanned the store. Then he scanned my workshop, no other customers in the store. When he turned and looked at me I had un-holstered my revolver and sat it in front of me on the sales counter. He looked at me then at my gun then did a quick walk out the door. I�m sure I was being cased to be robbed. He made the wise choice to find a easier mark.

Hey, no not me onboard. It was real close in a wash where we hang out. The cat had eaten a rabid skunk. The kid was in for some bad shots. I did happen to stumble on someones claim last week. Had to back my way off the property. It was a gentleman's standoff:s9:

Ding, Ding, Ding...we have a winner. The Second Amendment says you have the right to own and to carry a weapon, withoiut asking permission. If you have to ask permission, it's no longer a right but a privilege. I'll carry whenever I feel the need to and go for the jury trial if neccessary also.

That's cause they are the good guys :D I hate it when governments (like Australia) ban the good folks from owning and leave the bad guys in a stronger position. I have joined a local pistol club here in NZ and am in the process of getting my "Endorsed Licence". It is a license to own, not to "carry" a handgun and likewise, there has never been a NZ Pistol Club member involved in a crime with their gun - ever! Here, there is no real reason to carry - even the Police don't. P.S> Tom I lived 15 years in Atlanta - Roswell and Marietta.

same thing here. law abiding citizens are the least worry over here you can carry at your home or place of work as long as the general public cannot tell and only if you perceive a threat.

Cool, that would be my stomping grounds, I live half-way between them. I grew up in Sandy Springs, I had a go kart that I rode around the perimeter when they were just grading it. Talking to Jennifer of Lone Star Silver one day she told me that approaching 10% of her customers were in the north Atlanta burbs.

Re: How many here legally carry? I got my ccw permit last month, and I haven't left the house without my gun since. It's a very interesting feeling, now that I can carry my gun with me wherever I go, if I don't have it with me I feel... naked :rolleyes_m: I've been reading a book called "global gun grab: the united nations campaign to disarm americans", and unless the majority of gun owners fight back once they start taking them away, we're done for. Mtnman, I am glad for you that you had your revolver with you and that you were ready that day, and now that I carry as well, I'm no longer afraid of that day if it comes for me or my wife/baby. There are a lot of scumbags out there, we have to be able to defend ourselves. I have a shoulder holster, and I've been thinking of wearing it with my glock openly one day, but I'm not sure how to do it without making people around me nervous.

Sorry, they'll be knocking on the door of anyone and every whose ever made a firearms purchase thru a dealer or bought anything gun related via credit card. Bought something privately? Better hope the guy who you bought it from is very forgetful or very good under pressure when they come for them. I once thought like you... then I realized, heck I've bought so much on credit, who am I kidding, lol. As to asking permission, I view it this way: I'm getting a card that keeps me from having to deal with some ignorant JBT who thinks my Right to carry is a conditional privilege. basically I'm saving lives :confused_ma:

NC requires a class on gun safety and laws for when and where you can carry concealed (mostly common sense). NC also requires for you to qualify with a certain percentage of "hits" on a target at various distances. To get back to the OP, I took a CCW class last Saturday and am currently waiting on the sheriff to call me to let me know my permit is ready to pick up. Following that I'll be carrying whenever possible and needed.

Maybe even harder for those of us here in Kali. :thumpdown I spent several hours a couple nights ago just starting to research the California process and damn is it ridiculous and seemingly nigh impossible to get one. Seems my county has a roughly .03% issuance, based on population. In other words, 3 hundredths of 1 percent of the population has a CCW... less than 300 permits in a county of around 1 million people. "May issue" my ass. More like "you're lucky as hell if we do issue you a permit" when you shouldn't even need one in the first place. Congrats to you, though, Hive. :s9:

Re: How many here legally carry? In my state, open carry is perfectly legal, unless someone calls 911 or complains to the police -- as is wont to happen, and then all that bravado tends to evaporate when you're in the holding cell with the homeboys and dopers.

In Georgia the rule is Violation of this code section is a misdemeanor for a first offense and a felony for a 2nd or subsequent offense.(16-11-128, Carroll co. probate court) Georgia is a "Castle Doctrine" state. Some states allow carry but your ass is grass if you ever shoot someone. If the local prosecutor doesn't get you the civil courts will. In Castle Doctrine states, the justification for blowing some AH away is laid out, and if follow it you are protect by state law. In your own house, property, place of business, the fact of forcible entry alone should have the perp making his own funeral plans. Here is is more specifically. True to form, the antigunners yelled that blood would be running in the streets if these rules were adopted. Again, no big deal to everyone except professional burglars who make real pains to try to break in when nobody is home. This is unlike Great Britain where you go to jail if you give an invader a booboo, no matter the invader's intention. There, "hot burglaries", or burglaries committed while the dwelling is occupied exceed 70% and result in many injuries for the homeowner. In Georgia, someone breaks in, blow them away and let God sort 'em out; and that's the way it should be. Deadly Force There are 3 code sections that govern when lethal or deadly force may lawfully be used. Defense from a forcible felony; A person is justified in using force which may harm or kill only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony. You are not justified if you were the aggressor or you are/were/on-the-way-to committing a felony. (The state has pre-empted local cities and counties from further restricting this defense.)(16-3-21) Defense of habitation; (here habitation means dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business) A person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if: A person is breaking\has broken into your home in a violent and tumultuous manner, and you think that the intruder is going to assault you or someone else living there. A person who is not a member of the family or household and who unlawfully and forcibly enters the residence and you know it is an unlawful entry. The person using such force reasonably believes that the entry is made or attempted for the purpose of committing a felony therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of the felony. (16-3-23) Defense of property other than habitation; Lethal force cannot be used to protect personal property unless the person using such force reasonably believes that it is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.(16-3-24) (Stand Your Ground/Shoot First/License To Murder - went into effect July 1st, 2006) If you have determined you need to use lethal force (as stated in one of the underlined "Defense" sections immediatly above) you do not have to try to retreat before using that force. If your defense is valid, you are immune from criminal procecution (unless it is illegal to carry that weapon where you used it) and civil liability actions.(16-3-23.1, 16-3-24.2, 51-11-9)

+1 I have a carry permit (Georgia), but I don't routinely carry these days unless I'm going to the bank after dark, going for a walk by myself, or such. Holsters and women's business dress are a lousy combo, and holster-purses look like holster-purses. I got my first carry permit in NH over 20 years ago. I used to carry a lot more in those days. These days I work in a private college around a bunch of people who are scared silly of guns and one coworker who always thinks I'm carrying even though I'm not (I don't talk about such things at work much for fear someone knows someone who would be happy to break into my house looking for guns, but there used to be a bunch of chatty gun nuts in another department in the building, and we all shoot at the same gun club, so everyone pretty much knows I shoot...).

Are you, like, the Emperor of the Inland Empire, or something? CCW permits around here are few and far between. When I leave the state, I'll definitely carry on hikes in remote places. Maybe get a permit if I must be in bad places at bad times.

True,but it could mean the diffrence between being surprized by a swat team at 3:00 am, or being ready and waiting in the high country.:wink:

Yes you�re correct. I forget that most here live in the cities and suburbs. Easy to get raided there. It�s real hard to sneak up on us country boys. Strangers stick out like a sore thumb! LOL!!

You noticed that too. CCW is a privilege ..... and privileges can be revoked. Exposed carry is a right.

I'm no one special by any means. If you'd care to relocate out thisa'way you will get one, too, if you want one. I can help get you started with the paperwork and process if you like. Heaven knows I'd like to see you out here, regardless (and I mean that sincerely)... :bear_thumb:
