DesertDude writes . . . I am retired and living in rural New Mexico, so I don’t fear crackheads, gangbangers, or terrorists, but there are a few methheads around. Folks out here tend to be self-sufficient, so I’m not worried about anyone invading my home looking for toilet paper. This setup has served me admirably […]
John Galt writes . . . I have been carrying a customized Colt Gold Cup F O R E V E R…but I’m getting old and it’s hard to argue with lower weight and higher capacity. I finally broke with tradition. My new loadout feels airlight by comparison. Now carrying a SIG P365 with a […]
Monday night a clerk in a Brooklyn, New York grocery store was attacked by a man with a knife. The clerk was carrying a firearm and shot the attacker, 25-year-old Edwin Candelario, Jr., who also worked at the store, killing him. Candelario had reportedly returned to the store to retrieve his keys. As CBSN New […]
Randy Jones writes . . . I carried a 1911 made back in 1942 for about 34 years (’82 thru ’16). Rock solid and reliable. I still have it in the night stand, but I decided I would update my EDC. So, I bought a Kimber 1911 and a Taurus 1911 to replace it. A […]

John E. writes . . . My wife caught me arranging my WICN photo ensemble and I was a little embarrassed as this gun was purchased on a need-to-know basis. The Smith & Wesson Model 640 .357 magnum is a Pro Series which includes the dovetailed night sights and the cylinder mods to accept the […]
From the Second Amendment Foundation: The Second Amendment Foundation today said that if state agencies and officials around the country that are responsible for issuing concealed carry licenses or permits are not taking new applications because of the COVID-19 outbreak, they should not arrest people for carrying without a license/permit. “We’ve received reports that some […]
James in Georgia writes . . . I’m currently carrying a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 revolver (new model with attached laser). In shorts and a t-shirt, it hides well and will help solve issues with two- or four-legged predators until I (or my wife) can reach a long gun. This post is part […]
rudukai13 writes . . . The importants: anchored by a heavily modified SIG P320 X-Carry and spare magazine, the most recent change to my carry has been swapping out a folding karambit for a one-off custom Karambit-Pikal hybrid fixed blade by Ironside Edgeworks. Other than that my carry has remained the same for nearly two […]
Eric S. writes . . . This my EDC. Pretty simple: a GLOCK 26 Gen 5 with OWB Stealth Operator holster, Swiss Army knife, wallet, and pocket change. Hoping to add some better aftermarket sights in the near future. I keep “higher capacity” magazines in my car, just in case more pew pew is called […]
By Patrick Buchanan You may have read in this post that I recently became a first-time gun owner. I was pleased to see that the comments offered were supportive and encouraging. I’m not really expecting the same kind of positive response to this one however. While simultaneously acquiring my first firearm and applying for my […]
Yoshi writes . . . This is my “Plebeian EDC Pocket Warrior” load. As warm weather approaches and the jacket garments become less appropriate, I like to lighten my COVID-19 out-of-the-house-errands carry, lose the Kydex belt holster and semi-automatic (typically an FNX-9 or a HK P30) and carry something more pocket-able. The Smith & Wesson […]
