Loaned pistols for carry

Well, I presume my Grandfather has the green cards. And yes, it was appraised for $1500-$2000. But I'm a poor college student, and it's pretty much my only option.

There's something awesome about having an old war pistol. I wish I could just get a modern 1911, but I'm saving up for many things. Like spring break in Mexico, lol.

I wouldn't carry it either, to valuable both in money and sentimentality. You don't find many pre-WWII colts around.

There must be another handgun you could borrow from somebody until you buy your own. You have a CPL so that's a possibility. Or have Grandpa and familybuy you a gun for an early graduation gift. Be creative.


Heck I might be able to rent you one of mine

Thanks for the offer, but I think I may just use some of the other guns he loaned me, although they are rather goofy. There's a Colt police model .38 special that's chromed out, and a Hi-Point .380. I think I'll just conceal the .380 for now. You might get to see the police model in a cowboy holster at the picnic, lol. I do have a friend that needs a retention holster for a XD .45 compact for the OC picnic. He's a poor college student too, and has been mexican carrying it (bad idea, yeah?).
