I came across this the other day. Pretty awesome to watch.
What alot of gun control advocates don't realize is that making more laws does absolutely nothing. We can make all the "feel good" laws we want, but when the shit hits the fan, Momma government isn't going to be at your side defending you from evil. Allow law-abiding citizens to carry after be licensed by an instructor and you WILL make a difference in deterring crime.
What do you carry? Glock 30 here.

Awesome man. I'm digging that Beretta!
I used to carry a Glock 23. I bought a Tanfoglio Witness Limited Elite after that because I scored a good deal on a like new one. BY FAR the prettiest gun I've ever had. The only thing I didn't like was the huge double sided safety on it. I thought it would be ok to carry with me being as big as I am, but it was annoying and not one bit comfortable. Sold that and bought the Glock 30 and its perfect for me to carry. I want to get a CZ97BD to have a "big gun" for the house, but I dunno when. I was actually looking for a CZ when I came across the Witness. The CZ97 has a 5" barrel, the Witness had 4.75", which I liked to shoot and I miss having a bigger gun like that. Maybe again someday...
I've been debating getting an 870 for the house, first though. I have a Model 1100 that I used to use for duck/geese/clays, but I hardly ever go anymore. I think I've only went 3 times this year to shoot clays. I've thought about switching it out to look tactical and make it a home defense gun since I rarely find the time to hunt anymore.
EDIT- I had to post a picture of that Witness after talking about it. It was just like this:

Forgot about my better half's gun. She had a 24/7 PC 9 mm that she could shoot like a dream. She was out busting beer bottles at 30 ft by her 2nd clip. I bought it for her 21st b-day, it kinda concerned me with how well she could shoot it. Especially for it being the first gun she'd ever owned. I made sure to not piss her off again after I found out how good of a shot she was. Unfortunately we were out of town, roommate (her brother) had some people over and it came up missing along with a 40 cal Hi-Point that was already broken. Never did get anywhere on finding it. It sucks because I would like her to have CCW and that gun was perfect. She'll get another one eventually I'm sure. They've been hard for me to find when I've looked, though.

That video was awesome. Man they were running! They didn't seem to mention though - how many of the shots connected? Seemed to do the job quite nicely, though, that's for sure. Part of me would really like to get my CCW and get a small handgun considering I work in downtown Detroit at the Ren Cen (GM World HQ), but since we're not allowed to carry into the building I'd be worried about leaving it in my car. Bad enough worrying about someone stealing my car, but then to add a handgun to the mix if they steal the car... yikes.
For those that do have 'em, what do you guys do for concealing the weapon when you're out? I've been surprised how many guys I've seen out at the local car shows and then they later post up on the forums saying they always carry... granted I wasn't looking for one, but I never noticed a gun on them. Just curious how/what they do to conceal so well.

This is how I carry, I'm a fairly slim guy so a fat IWB on my side stands out. Its safe, secure, and much faster to draw. Plus your finger will never be on the trigger when you draw.

Brett is a gun enthusiast, and sold guns for several years. Detroit in general is a very shady area, and my next plan is to take my CPL class. He carries his HK UPS .45 everywhere, and I mean everywhere. If he doesn't have that on him, he carries a Glock 20 (10 mm). I personally want to get a HK UPS 45 compact once I have the money for it. I know it seems to be a bit of overkill, but the stories Brett has heard from officers and customers of the gun shop, you would be surpised how many people can take a bullet and keep coming after your ass.
Meissen, if you see Brett and I out next weekend on Woodward, feel free to ask him. He has great advice.

But seriously I would buy one for easibility to carry. Plus I mean come on who doesn't want James bonds gun. I would also take an Aston db5 ( think that's right I just woke up). Just Saying. But they come in several calibers and are made by smith and Wesson currently

90% of the time I am wearing a "belly band." Have about 3 years use out of it so far. Carry a Glock 17, and unless I am wearing an older shirt that has shrunk over time you can't see it on my right hip under my shirt.

In my little part of the world the county Sheriffs office (Solano) has the attitude that nobody needs a CCW permit which means that we are all so safe right?
Vallejo is like the wild west at night sometimes and if I were to carry a firearm it would be the old standby 1911 in .45 acp which in comfortable to carry for a bigger guy like me.
I did talk to the Sheriffs office getting my CCW and was pretty much told that it would be a waste of my time to even try, I do have formal firearms training (P.O.S.T 832A) which stands for Police officers standards and training Penal code section 823A from the Kern county Sheriffs department that says I am firearms qualified and understand the laws in the use of force.
Now understand that I could not legally carry without breaking the law and turning myself in to a criminal so I will not say that I have ever carried concealed illegally.

The CCW thing goes by which county you live in, I lived in Kern county and the Sheriff there would have given me a CCW without even thinking twice.
I lived there for 15 years and could have gotten one but did not see the need for it.
I came up to Solano county back to my home town and now see a need for it, but can not get one due to the Sheriff here believing that law abiding people who are will to jump thru the hoops to get one dont need one.
This clown has said he is not going to run for re election so maybe a new Sheriff will think different, I dont want to carry a gun to be some kind of badass terminator ect I just want to be able to protect my family and most cops are too busy to escort us around 24-7.
