    Favorite concealed carry rig?

    imported post I've got a hankering for a new CC gun. My OC rig is a Springfield XD-9 Tactical, crimson trace grips and a Blackhawk Serpa holster.

    Well, that was a logical response...

    imported post Let's count the idiots in this scenario: 1. School officials, for their asinine policies! Check! 2. Police, for bothering to respond at all? Check! 3. Kids, for bringing a plastic "gun" to school when they know darn well there will be serious repercussions, however ridiculous...

    Wristwatch audio recorders

    imported post I know, I know: I should get a "proper" recorder, etc, but I don't want to carry yet another thing around, I don't want to run wires on myself and clip a lapel mic on my shirt, etc. It's too much of a "get up" for me. I only wear shirts with front pockets about half the time, so a...
