Getting closer

I found an awesome poster to tell if someone is carrying a hidden firearm, things to keep in mind when I carry my own. Those guys over there at FTF are knowledgeable fellows.

It's only about 2 weeks before I take my class. I've been dragging my feet a bit in getting those measurements for my shoulder holster, not sure why. I think I'll finish that up today.

Went shooting with JR and had a good time. I got to fire his .357 and was surprised it wasn't as powerful as I thought it would be. Thus the power of television. Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it, I was just expecting more of a kick. Surprisingly, I hit the target all six times. But as one of the guys who were watching us shoot said, "Boy, that sure is a banger." LOUD.

I'm a bit annoyed at some of the guys who seem to make a spectacle of themselves over and over about the OC debate. Of course it's a constitutional right, and the police need to be more aware of the laws they are to uphold, but at the same time, putting yourself in a situation where you are continually harassed by the police just so you can post your experience on youtube seems a bit self-deprecating, as well as putting OC vs CC in a negative light. I'll probably NOT open carry; why advertise? It is a proven fact that criminals choose to pick on those who seem to be unable to defend themselves. Much like the idea behind self-confidence, you carry yourself a different way when you have training than you do if you are just Joe Common who lacks that trait.

This debate will continue, I'm sure.
