    Ohio ccw with car holsters

    One of the primary reasons I like appendix carry. I can draw just as fast and easily seated in my car as any vehicle mounted holster. Honestly, probably faster because I have practiced it much more often. Situational awareness is key, but remember, Chris Kyle was killed by an amateur.

    Home defense shotguns?

    I'm with T.L. that my go to rifle is a suppressed 5.56, but I would much rather have a suppressed 9mm carbine if I had to run a long gun inside for home defense. In the end, it's all about shot placement.

    New addition to my iconic american guns collection

    Very nice T.L. With 3 kids 5 and under I can't afford to get into the "collecting" game. All my stuff is purpose driven. I got a few that I don't shoot much that you may say are more uncommon, but not yet collector items. That's a good looking piece with great history behind it!

    Thanks T.L. And that ladies and gentlemen is why I defer to the experts.

    Home defense shotguns?

    I've seen several of those test as well. I would generally agree if you're using a purpose designed round like Hornady TAP or Speer Gold Dot. Not something I'd want to do with FMJ or 62gr Green Tip. I'll opt for the pistol due to increased maneuverability and its advantage at extreme close...

    Ohio ccw with car holsters

    My initial response was the assumption of being the only occupant. I believe the law states it cannot be "accessible" to any unauthorized persons. Meaning anyone without a permit in my opinion. I'll double check and try to cite the ORC section. @T.L. Jones may be able to help on that one.

    Ohio ccw with car holsters

    Current Ohio law states that as a CCW permit holder you can carry an loaded pistol in any location within the vehicle. In your holster on your belt, covered, uncovered, on the seat next to you, in your glove box, on the floor. I wouldn't reccommend all of those, but they are all legal. So...

    Home defense shotguns?

    I would agree with JD. Shotgun penetrates much more than people expect. The best option in my opinion is a quality defensive pistol round. I have shotguns, AR's, etc. and my home defense gun is a pistol. It is more maneuverable than a long gun and using a good, fragmenting defensive round...

    The most important election of our time for the second amendment

    While I agree that Trump is way more likely to nominate/appoint conservative judges to the SCOTUS, I'm curious how everyone feels about the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson. I know what everyone says, "A vote for a libertarian is a vote for Hillary". If you're focused more on doing what you...

    Things you wish were taught in your ccw class

    I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for when it comes to classes and training. You can either choose for a basic run of the mill "CCW" class or a focused handgun training class. The courses designed around the NRA basic pistol classes are good for what they are, but they will give you...

    Looking for an ar

    You won't regret it! Every good American needs a quality handgun, good shotgun, and AR15!

    Looking for an ar

    I would agree T.L. that variances in individual barrels are definitely an impact on how a rifle groups specific bullets. It was interesting though when that Colt I referenced above that wouldn't group with 55gr was a hammer with 62gr or heavier. If the larger determining factor was variances...

    Looking for an ar

    1:8 or 1:9 would be fine for general use. Every rifle barrel is different. I've seen two identical 1:7 Colt's where one shot 55gr fine and the other wouldn't group it worth a damn. My DD M4A1 SOCOM is a 1:7 and it shoots everything from 55gr - 77gr without issues. Damn near identical POI...

    Places of worship

    Thanks for the input T.L. While we do have a parish council, they aren't ones to go against the archdiocese with much force. Just like workplace carry, it's a continuous battle. All we can do is try.

    Places of worship

    As those with an Ohio CCW permit are aware, the "Forbidden Carry Zones" of Ohio include "Places of worship, unless permitted otherwise". I read that as, you better have it in writing that you are authorized to carry in your church, temple, synogauge, mosque, etc. Don't want to be left out to...

    Looking for advice on a ccw

    I predominately carry it in a Comp-Tac C-Tac on my strong side 3-4 o'clock position. Depending on the situation, like driving to and from work, I run an appendix holster I made. I use that as I can't carry in the building at work and it's an easy on/off. Appendix is also the fastest position...

    Looking for advice on a ccw

    It sounds like you've done some legitimate research. I can only offer my opinions and experience and tell you why it's how I feel. First, I am a huge fan of a consistent trigger pull. I never understood the desire to carry a gun where your first shot has a totally different trigger pull than...

    First 2 gun match

    Nice video Dirtbike! Makes me envious. I haven't had time to get to a match in several months! If you enjoy reading, check out "Thinking Practical Shooting" by Saul Kirsch. It's all about the mental game of competitive shooting. It will definitely help your game.

    The ar15 pistol...why?

    @T\.L\.Jones hit it right on the head. Tax stamp is to allow possession. It doesn't supersede state law on transportation of a weapon.
