I hope you're actively opposing this as yet another misguided attempt by irrational legislators to disarm law-abiding citizens and thereby prevent them from protecting themselves against crazies like Cho. Virginia Tech didn't allow students to carry on campus, either. Look how well that worked for them.
DevinWKuska said:Well IMO, you should CC when its cold unless your set against it. I have a few reasons that may or may not be valid.
#1 Most gun holsters are made of polymer or leather, both could get stiff if it were say >30 degrees. This COULD impair your ability to draw your firearm in the moment of need
DevinWKuska said:#2 Your gun is primarily metal(unless your a Glock or XD fan maybe) metal can stick to other metal parts in below freezing conditions.
DevinWKuska said:Unless your dip your gun in gun oil this is a very real problem.
DevinWKuska said:Also your ammunition is another factor to consider as far as how reliably will it feed in cold conditions. ( Iknow my when firing at the range when it gets below say 20 degrees I start to experience feeding issues.
leg holster, or 3 shirts+sweater.
