I fully admit that the chances of that happening are miniscule, but it is a false state to say the Federal law does not apply. A more correct statement would be that the state of Arizona does not enforce the law - but that doesn't keep the Federal government from enforcing the law in Arizona.
Consdier this. Under a Republican governor a bill was passed to enforce federal immigration law. Under a Democrat governor maybe a bill will be passed to enforce the federal gun-free school zones? Without a permit, you are breaking federal law if you are within 1,000 feet of a school zone. Alan Korwin posted some mapson his website. It's almost impossible to not break the law. Having a permit is good insurance in that regard.

Flapped holsters. I use 'em. The Makarov seems to have no other choice 'cept a 'bucket'. The 1911 goes in one mostly when I'm on horseback, but other times as well. The Federal 1,000' 'rule'.... good luck with that. I see the paranoia runs deep elsewhere. SB1070 has caused us to be labeled a Police State by those who really do live in 'Police States'.... 'n those who shouldn't be 'here' anyway.The 1,000 school zone nonsense is a moot non-issue point reserved for out-of-state hysterics.

Never been a fan of things, like a flap,that get in the way of arapid and smooth presentation. Don't ride horses but have owned and ridden motorcycles. Even then, I wore my usual Blade-tech, outside the waist band, straight drop, kydex belt holster with no retention beyond the pressure applied by the "retention" screws. But, I can imagine a horse ride in the desert kicking up more dust that a highway motorcycle ride. But, Iwear a Glock, so it doesn't matter.

:cool:

A one hand sweep will open the flap and allow the 'present'. Unless you practice quick-draw McGraw style... People in all armies have fought wars with these types of holsters.
