Handgun Suggestions...

[Phienyx]

The only thing that kept me away from it for so long was the price.  Just waiting on my purchase permit to be approved then its mine.  

Next stop: Concealed Pistol License.

Wait wait wait....  You have to wait... days.... weeks... months to buy guns?  My state measures gun buying in minutes.

O and S&W M&P FTW!

S&W MP .40 Compact will be mine when I can afford it.

It takes 3 days to get a handgun, but the conceal and carry permits can take a long time. Illinois doesn't allow them but I guess there's some talk about allowing them in the near future here.

Its a great gun.  I may switch my backup to that one day.  We use the tactical as our duty weapon, I have no complaints and suggest it to others.

As for Illinois' hippies, "You think criminals obey the law because its written down?"

D-bags them all!

If they feel they have to look into anything listed on your request for a purchase permit, it can take up to 5 days for it to be approved, that's it.

229 Equinox is a nice looking firearm.

9mm? .357? .40?

My .357 P226 stays in my glove box.

[Phienyx]

I'm getting it in .40

Its pretty much what I carried as my duty weapon when I was a po-po...hehe.

If I ever get back into that line of work, I'll most likely carry it as my back up......although I'd be hard pressed to get it into an ankle holster and I don't know any departments that let you carry two on the hip.

Right now, its part of my plan to prepare myself to assist with any situation that might present itself.  I plan on getting some FEMA training as well as first responder training as well......because these days, you just never know......

FEMA has got a lot of great training programs running right now, so does DHS.  I've been to a half dozen ranging anywhere from firearm defense to biological and nuclear attack.  I even went through a bomb making class which was disturbing yet very educational.

My .357 P226 stays in my glove box, waiting to be stolen

Fixed for correctiveness.

... Right.  :roll1:

Happens more then you think.  Also, what use is in the glove box?

[Phienyx]

It'll scare the piss out of a cop if he goes for his registration and insurance info. ;-)

In Michigan, unless we also have a concealed pistol license, it has to be in a locked case and out of immediate reach of anyone in the vehicle....preferably a locked trunk.

[Runjun]

What's the poitn of having it then?  It does you no use.

If you "needed" and got it they will argue you assaulted/murdered so and so because instead of running you took the time to remove your weapon from a locked container.  

Remember, the same people that write your laws have their own personnel police and protection.  So they know what you should do to protect yourself.

[Phienyx]

That is the law if you have a legally purchased and registered weapon.  A concealled pistol license is eomthing completely different.  Then you can carry it on your person as long as you can conceal it.

FEMA training? Are you kidding?
