      In the winter I wear Flannel a lot and skinny jeans, I call it "Hipsterflauge." Summertime I wear button up short sleeve patterned shirts mostly seersucker of various colors, and Bermuda shorts and generally look like an Ivy league "Frat Bro." I live in a college town with plenty of Hipsters and Bro's so I kind of just blend in. If I wear a 2A shirt I'm out shooting or at home, I noticed people kind of looking for my gun when I wore them in public. Every time I see someone claiming to be a greyman they still look way too tactical and look like a plainclothes cop.

      Garrett Smith I'm pretty sure I can buy one from a private sale. Like just someone selling their handgun. But I can't buy one from an ffl dealer. I think that's a federal law. And I'm also pretty sure that you have to be active military or law enforcement to have a concealed carry permit under the age of 21. I might be wrong but I'd just rather not carry until I'm 21. Even if it is lawful, an officer that doesn't know the law could give me some trouble and potentially take me to jail or just take it from me. It's just my rule of thumb to not try to get a handgun yet. Gives me some more time to save and decide exactly what I want. I'm in Texas btw

    • @redtra236
      @redtra236 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well I'm 20 and not Military or LE and have a Missouri CHL. And I got it when I was 19. That's just the law here anyways. Also you can carry in Missouri without a permit legally as long as you are at least 19, but I got a permit since there are less locational restrictions with it. Now military members are allowed to carry at 18 so that's the difference. Non-Military must be 19.

A little more real-estate to hold on to and more control. It works for me. That's all I really need. Hopefully no situations will arise and if they do, I wouldhope to be able to avoided or escape the situation altogether. Situational awareness has done me good so far, best keep it up...

If I'm going out into to mountains or am in my car, I'll take more.

At night I carry a knife and tactical light and they have proved handy. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood after dark and a couple of teenagers came up on me. It was clear that they wanted to surprise me.
    As I shined the intense light in their eyes I asked them if they wanted the dog, the knife or some 9mm. Never seen them again.

I am very passionate about the 2nd ammendment but showing everyone with your apparel and gun stickers on your truck makes you a target to these people. The normal looking guy is going to be overlooked with everyone else and be able to stop the threat much quicker than that tough guy who wants everyone to know he carries guns.

    I've been an EDC guy now for about 5 years and I've come to the conclusion that most of the EDC TH-camrs out there (and I like many of them very much) do NOT carry half the stuff they say they carry every day. I'm a middle-aged married father of 2 who hasn't been in an altercation since high school. I am not going to carry an ankle tourniquet and combat surgical kit with me when I go to Walmart to pick up a loaf of bread. My level one set-up is a handkerchief, phone, wallet, watch, challenge coin, Swiss Army Knife, Microtech Dirac OTF and Sig P365. That may sound like a lot to a non-EDC guy, but I don't need a 5.11 tactical backpack to haul all my toys (they all fit in pockets) and I actually USE all of it daily, except for the OTF and Sig (and I hope I never need to). Thanks for your sensible approach to EDC. It was very refreshing.

My consern is if I'm broken in to or have a home invasion, it will most be through my downstairs sliding glass door. When I fire whatever firearm gun I choose. My concern is where the bullets are going to end up. I don't want to have a situation where through Ricochet or I miss and accidentally kill someone 2 miles away in their home.
    So I'm wondering if need to be concerned or not. So far the most comfortable gun I've used was a Glock 19. I'm a novice user. Obviously, but I'm going to take more classes and get a CCP too. I'm dealing with some heath issues and need a good comfortable option. Appreciate any advice.
