Glocks vs Docs: Second Amendment issues in the cross hairs
There are few topics more evergreen in the U.S. political arena and consistently in the forefront of the news than a group protesting that either their First Amendment or Second Amendment rights are being curtailed. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the two collided in a spectacular “Alien vs. Predator,” coliseum-like spectacle of battling rights.

What is the best carry position/holster?

First, there is no such things as the perfect carry location for your handgun, nor the perfect holster; at least for everyone. Anyone carrying for any length of time has a box of tossed out holsters that have been tried and denied.

So, let us discuss what we all have discovered works best for us and why and what doesn't work.

Appendix carry is all the rage now which started with law enforcement, frankly started by one of my NYC Senseis that trained cops and was one, it is basically carrying to the front of the body as one can. this has the main advantage, why it was taught, of good retention of the firearm and initially for duty holsters on duty belts. this position is not ideal for comfort or quick draw. i am sure the host of the forum will discuss with us why he likes this position for carry, I tried it and I do not chose this for carry and will wait to respond.

So, what did I choose and why? First you must know I have been carrying for decades and in the past 4 years or so I gave up my concealed carry for open carry as my state allows same.

I started Small of back carry properly trained for strike draw response( i am a very experienced martial artist) and decided it was not for me. Why?

#1 When you bend over it prints badly
#2 when you sit in a wooden booth or chair it makes too much noise
#3 I fell on my back and it hurt like a son of a gun!

I like shoulder holsters for certain clothing, but I have a chronic condition and the weight on my shoulders just hurt my neck too much. I still have one

I hate inside the waistband holsters, they are uncomfortable and I do not want to buy special sized clothing to carry my gun. One warning, do not use leather for iwb the sweat soaks into the leather and can shrink it and stop the draw!

After allot of trial and error and competitive shooting, I decided on a strong side OutsideWaistBand pancake style holster with an FBI cant/cross draw belt slot. Why?

#1 I am a bit of a fast draw point shooter and the strong side draw is fastest.
#2 FBI cant(but slightly forward) for easier draw sitting down like in a truck while still a fast draw
#3 the cross draw gives me another wear option that is great for sitting sown, I like options
#4 it tucks tight so as to be easily concealed with a full or compact weapon
#5 I do allot of outside work around the homestead felling trees building stuff etc and it keeps my gun safe and out of the way.
#6 although not easy I can still draw it and reposition for weak hand, not ideal

All the above considered for sitting nothing beats cross draw/shoulder holster, so I had to consider carjacking scenario. what did I do? Since I really like my choice of main holster I did a couple of things. I like redundancy so a second handgun was key to my 1st response

#1 an ankle holster back up 380 auto pony 1911. Easy draw from a sitting position and 1 of the best for being attacked from behind and brought to your knees
#2 I put a second holster on my shoulder strap of the seat belt. I get in and draw my weapon and put it in the seat belt holster, car problem solved.

That gave me the best options for me to handle all the situations considered. However, I wanted something more DEEP carry and even for mild concerns allowed me to put my hand on my gun without notice, so I bought a pocket gun, not just any pocket gun a .357mag 2 shot double action derringer! Something concerns me I put my weak hand in my pocket and ready the gun for draw.

Now all my considerations are about open carry, snowmobiling, ATV, horses, and working on my remote property and dealing with lareg predators; which is a good discussion for SHTF times.

Webb Aide Arrested For Taking Gun Into Senate Building

I am no Fan of Jim Webb, but this is just stupid...

From FNC:

U.S. Capitol Police arrested a top aide to Sen. Jim Webb on Monday after he tried to enter a Senate office building carrying a loaded pistol and two fully loaded magazines that belonged to the senator.

I hate when reporters do this, it was in some sort of bag or brief case. this is important because it is likely the aid did not know it was loaded. Heck we don't know if he knew there was a gun in the bag.

Frankly, everyone has the right to defend themselves and I would have no problem if they all carried firearms for protection. What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED don't people understand?!?!? EVERY law that restricts honest citizen's right to bear arms is unconstitutional.

Phillip Thompson sent a bag through the X-ray machine at Russell Senate Office Building, where Webb's office is located. It detected the weapon and Capitol Police say they determined that Thompson didn't have a license to carry the gun in Washington, D.C. Thompson was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition.

A senior Democratic aide said Webb gave the bag that contained the gun to Thompson when the aide drove the senator to the airport. Thompson said he forgot it was in the bag when he took it into the office building. ...snip

Handguns are illegal in Washington, D.C., but nearby Virginia allows residents to carry concealed handguns. Capitol Police rules allow members and their employees to bring a weapon onto Capitol grounds if it is unloaded and securely wrapped. In this case, it was neither.

I am sick of this debate because it is dishonest. Anyone who has read the what the Founding Father's have written about the Second Amendment KNOWS it is an individual right for the purpose of defending the country, defending against a tyrannical government, for protection of self/private property and for providing of food. If you want read a good decision by a judge on this manner read U.S. v Emerson (I cannot believe how hard this was to find again). It is an excellent read breaking down the wording of the Second Amendment and citing the history and writings of the Founding Fathers.

I would like to see every honest citizen, without mental disorders, carrying a firearm. I know, an armed society, is a polite society.
