Permit For Concealed Weapon

  I think I have made it pretty clear that I think it is our right to carry, and that it should not be difficult to get a permit for concealed weapon. The more licencees, the bigger our voice.
  Besides my online class here in Oregon, I see there are a few other states that have online classes. One of these is Virginia, and they Are a "shall issue" state for non-resident permits. This means that you can get a Virginia  permit for concealed weapon by mailing in an application. And there are 27 states that recognize this license.
  Here is just one example of many of these options. I like this one because you can check it out without paying.

Guns and Christmas...

 Well everyone is looking for GREAT deals for Christmas and Black Friday. Well here you go. Besides having low, low, low prices on concealed clothing (and everything), we have a Christmas deal worthy of singing praise.

  Besides being fun and easy to read because of how well written it is the book "Oregon Concealed" is the leader in informing us on how, where, when, what is the law, and how is it interpreted.

  From Black Friday until Jan 31 you can get a copy of this book for free when you purchase an online conceal course for yourself, or buy it as a gift for someone else (great gift idea). All you have to do is use the discount code "book" at the checkout.
  You can still purchase the book at regular price without a class for $14.95 + shipping (also a great gift idea). You do not have to live in Oregon to benefit from this book.

Emergency Preparedness in the North West Part 2

 I get asked....

    "Are you a Mormon?"
       "Conspiracy theorist?"
           "Are you some kind of Hippie or something?"

   Without sounding too radical, I am a little bit of all of these (kind of), and you should be too if you really want to be prepared. I am not saying that you need to really subscribe wholeheartedly to these practices but they all have areas that they prepare more than others.

Be a BoyScout, Be prepared.

  Hippies (not all of them of course) believe in the end of the world/society and plan on living off the land. Some of them are getting ready for that.
  Conspiracy theorists are getting ready for a revolution or civil war. Some of them are getting ready for that.
   Mormons (and a lot of others), believe in being ready for something. Listen to them. Whether they share your belief system or not, they are more ready than most. You can go to a lot of different sites and blogs where they tell you how to get ready. My brother (talk about Mormon) is starting a preparedness website to order ALL the things you might need.
.  Food
   Water
   Supplies.....   Tip of the iceburg.

 I think I will put an (Occasional) blog out about how and what to prepare, but for the most part this blog in general is about conceal carry, handguns, practice, and safety. How does that go along with emergency preparedness?

Guns. And lots of AMMO.

 You can prepare your whole life. Have all the food storage you need. If you think everyone is gonna group hug and share everything you are crazy. People will have guns. People will be mean. Those who have not prepared themselves will do what they feel they need to survive. People will steal and kill for food for themselves and their families.
  Prepare for your family and prepare to defend your family.
  Do you have somewhere to go that you can protect?


 I will touch on this subject every once and a while. But for now, Buy ammo for the guns you have. Store it in a cool dry place. Add to it when you can.

Woman conceal carry options. (part 1)

What is a good concealment technique for women? 
  This is a question we get a lot. Many instructors have guns they recommend for women, I still say try them out, try a bunch, and practice often. Handle a hundred guns at gun stores and shows. Pick 5-10 that feel great in your hand, and then go to a range or a friend and shoot the hell out of them. Don't spend $300-$1500 on a handgun and then regret it.

You have your gun, now how do you conceal it.
   This post would be too long and boring if I talked about every concealment technique so we will cover one or two at a time.


                                    The Flash Bang

The Flash Bang is a great design for women who want more option to carry. 1) Don't let your wardrobe prevent you from carrying. 2) Don't let carrying prevent you from dressing how you like. My wife loves the Flash Bang. There are many videos of this holster being demonstrated on YouTube.
  My daughter does not love it quite as much. The only downside I see to the Flash Bang is that you pretty much have eto have more than an "A" cup to conceal effectively.

If you watch the demos, and practice, you do not really need to worry about exposing yourself with this holster. And, if you have to use your gun you probably would not care anyway.

If the Flash Bang is not right for you, there are many other options.

   Dyna Holster Handbag

The Dyna™ is a soft-style bag with plenty of interior space and multiple exterior pockets. The zippered main storage compartment accommodates your personal items. Another zippered pocket in front, along with pockets on each end, securely holds cell phones, sunglasses and other often-needed items. Piped seams and nickel-plated solid brass hardware contribute to the purse’s good looks and durability. The Dyna’s self-contained side-entry holster compartment accommodates most small and large-frame defensive handguns, and like all Galco handbags features a locking zipper for added security.
