How to carry...

Thanks, BD for the response to GR's question-- I don't get on here as often as i'd like. The phrase, BTW, is not intended as any kind of slur, it refers to an era in Mexican history when the rulers--guess what??-- outlawed gun carry. The story goes that the Mexicans by and large kept carrying, but w...

For those of you that carry the P-64...

To the original question: I keep my P64 loaded and ready to go, when I get home from work and need to go out, I stick it in my waistband Mexican -style, butt-forward on my left hip. No muss, no fuss. ( I carry a different gun to work). BTW, it is also my preferred "nightstand" gun due to t...

CASTLE DOCTRINE

To add just a bit-- Texas has long had a "castle doctrine" related to one's residence--it has now been expanded to include a "no retreat" doctrine applicable to any place where a person has a legal right to be

I'm Dreaming of a White Easter?

A cheap in the pants holster

Well, waddya know! A few months back I cut down one of those things to make a kind of "holster" to use for SOB carry--it just holds the end of the muzzle in place, keeps the pistol from sliding down my pants when I run or whatever, the handle hooks over the back of my belt and holds the re...

Thoughts on the "HELLER" Case

I think they will have to address the "individual" vs "corporate" right issue--but they can still "cop out" I think, in other ways. Last I heard, Kennedy was playing it close to the vest, not much indication which way he would go. Recall, he was the one who invoked the ...

Start Holding Your Breath

From the lawyer again-- "reasonable restrictions" is kind of a term of art in this context, it indicates that there is a Constitutional right at stake, but proposed restrictions on that right only have to meet a low-level of scrutiny to survive--ie is the proposed restriction "rationa...

What I learned about my p-64 today . . .

It's not the size or shape of the safety that bothers me, it's the awkwardness of the upward push to "fire"... My thumb is trained to sweep a safety down I guess--so I carry my P64 like a DA revolver, one in the chute, safety off
