1) we were talking about carrying off duty, not on. some people choose to be prepared and not to be made a victim.
2) catch ya on the flip side.

It's "adieu". If you're going to bawwquit, do it properly.
There's an important counterbalance to Mass. gun laws: political influence! Sure, if you don't know someone, your options are limited, but if you do, it's as if you're in a more reasonable state.
Concealed carry while working has always seemed a bit problematic for me. Most of the assaults you can expect are from patients, precisely the group of people that you shouldn't be shooting and don't want to be dangling guns near.
If you carry openly while working and aren't a cop...
And in deference to KEV, I'm sure this has been discussed before and I'm about to go search for it.

I carry (and love) my S&W 4013. It goes BANG! when I pull the trigger and the target gets a new hole. I like shooting .40 vs 9mm.
And it feels good in my hand.
However, I still miss my Sig P229.

God I LOVE 1911s
I have been carrying a Colt gold-cup pre-70 (pretty rare gun, I probably should carry a more easily replaced 1911) in a Don Hume OWB pancake holster, when it gets "warm" again I'll switch to a CTAC IWB holster.
I also have my ever present NAA MINI in 22LR.

wow its been a bit since I've checked up on the site
Thanks!
and to someone else in the second page- we are indeed not talking (at least me) about ccw-ing while working
I got my RIA for $300 used. I figured if I wanted to later I could replace everything minus the frame and have a great gun fitted to my taste but I really enjoy it as it is. I see the frame at the most important part legally, but as far as function goes not that important.

My primary carry piece is a Kimber tactical 5". Sometimes, just as a goof, I'll carry the Bond Arms .45LC/.410, with a pair of .410's in 3" OOO. Not a big fan of Glocks, personally, but I'd consider a model 20 for the right price, only because of the caliber. Wish SIG would make a 10mm.
Later!
