    I killed an intruder with my Glock 19 Last Night

    I had just arrived home after running a late night errand and it was after midnight. I had set everything down, took my shoes off, and just as I turned on the kitchen light I immediately knew something was wrong. Just as I spun around I saw something move around the corner. I cautiously poked my...

    Somewhat negative OC encounter

    imported post As I was waiting for my order, some man came up to me and said, "Is it that unsafe that you need to carry a gun?" I then gave him "the look" and said, "I don't know. I carry just about everywhere." He then said, "Isn't that the beauty of Scottsdale."I then gave him "the look"...

    Minor Bar Incident

    imported post Recently I was at a nightclub in Scottsdale, AZ which does not have any signage prohibiting firearms. This club tends to have a bit more upscale people and doesn't seem to be a place that has problems. Unfortunately, there are always some idiots out there, people who just can't...

    TruWest Credit Union

    imported post The other day when I was making a transaction at TruWest, the lady mentioned that I can't bring my gun in the credit union. I asked her why because I have been carrying in there for years. She stated that they just put up a sign although I clearly didn't see any sign. I mentioned...

    I tested the new liquor law today

    imported post For those who don't know, the Rainbow Festival is a GLBT Pride type of street fair. In the past, any type of park festival or street fair usually had been posted "No Weapons" in my experience since the venue served alcohol for on-premise consumption. This was also the same reason...

    A Warning Over Political Sabotoge

    imported post You can call it paranoia but I don't. Throughout recorded history, when a particular cause starts to gain ground and those who oppose it realize that they can't defeat it using traditional and lawful means, they will outright try to sabatoge it to make the other side look bad...

    Attempted Burglary

    imported post Unfortunately, I have had more "incidents" at my apartment than I would prefer and perhaps I could eventually move but on the other hand I live my life as I see fit and not to the dictates of criminals. The other day I was getting ready to head out to work and since I work second...

    OC Sends a Message

    imported post While I generally OC because it is more comfortable, a quicker draw, and a deterrant to crime, I have also realized that it sends a "message" to people as well. While my original goal is not to "brandish" or "intimidate" people, in some cases I have realized that an openly-carried...

    Concealed Carry Gone Bad

    imported post I've mentioned before on here that I prefer to carry openly and carry everywhere but unfortunately that is not the reality in our land of the scared. I've also mentioned before that I really don't like leaving a firearm unattended due to the risk of it being stolen and/or used...

    State Capitol

    imported post I was wondering if anyone might know whether or not you can carry on the grounds around the State Capitol. I'm sure they prohibit firearms in the building but there is a park area in front of it and around all sides of it. I'm pretty sure that if they treat the lawn area as a park...

    College Carry

    imported post For the purposes of my point, I'm going to use the University of Arizona campus as an example. This campus has various "no weapons" signs not only on the entrances of campus buildings but on road signs located on streets that enter the campus. The campus consists of both buildings...

    Unleashed Dogs

    imported post Friday night I was going for a walk just because the weather happened to be nice and it was good exercise. I was open carrying at the time. Here in Phoenix and in fact all of Arizona if I'm not mistaken has a leash law. At one point on the walk, I hear a bunch of dogs barking and...

    Discreetly Disarming or Concealing

    imported post Something I have increasingly run into which is annoying is trying to conceal a gun or put it away when required and having to do so in front of people who have nothing better to do than loiter around staring at you. To be specific, here is what I am referring to: You are pulling...

    Weapons in Bars

    imported post I have noticed an interesting observation regarding weapons in bars. If you look at the "misconduct involving weapons" in title 13, throughout the statute it uses the term "deadly weapon" instead of firearm which would include firearms and other deadly weapons. However, the bar...

    CCW Class

    imported post I decided to go ahead and take the CCW class because there are situations where I do prefer concealed carry. I prefer open carry when anonymous in public placesbut when I'm around people I know not all of whom are that comfortable with firearms, I prefer to just keep the gun...

    Frustrating Situation

A brief background of me and my situation is that I live in the...

    Confrontations in Public Places

    imported post Something that kind of irks me is there is never an end to situations where some idiot is bothering you in a restaurant, aparking lot, store, etc. and you have to say something to them and then they still don't take a hint. Well the thing that really irks me is that normally I...

    Ignorance regarding Open Carry

    imported post I haven't been open carrying for very long but have run into some ignorance and other weird behavior. This is in Arizona which is a gold-star open carry state. For some reason people including LEOs can't seem to understand why I needa gun and especially why I need to carry it...

    Disturbing Bar Fight

    imported post Hi, I'm new here so first I'll introduce myself. I live in Arizona where open carry is legal but bringing a firearm into or on the bar premises is illegal except in "emergency conditions." I just recently became a gun owner and own a semi-auto pistol and a pump-action shotgun. I...
