I didn’t have to fill out anything. I signed the orange tag. Airport personnel tied the tag to the handle of the box that my 1911 came in. Locked firearm box went into soft-sided suitcase.(Orange tag outside of box) The people behind me probably didn’t even notice what was going on. Luck or procedur...

First off, IMHO, what I have to post is more important for me to hear than anyone else reading the post. Discussions like this are important for CHL holders. (At least they’re important to me). I have thought long and hard about scenarios that I might be put into. What if I caught someone inside my ...

I know I lack experience with handguns, but I’m committed to getting better. I want to be prepared, but hope to never need to use a p...

My first post after lurking for several months on this great website. I never had any interest in firearms until late last year. I always thought (and still, to some degree) that having the inexperienced, uneducated “average Joe� be able to carry a concealed weapon to be somewhat crazy. I consid...
