I usually carry a Glock 9mm (34 or 17) w. extra mags and a J-Frame for backup. And a knife. And a flashlight. I'm going to work in Germany later this year - which will take some serious adjustment...

Lukes, Huachuca, or Fort Yuma? I am in Ahwatukee which is East Phoenix.

IA. CCP Springfield XP Subcompact these days. Like the 5.11 Tactical Series Under Gear Holster CC right now also.

What happened to your Sig P238?

Glock Model 19.

I've still got the HD. I sold the SAS 'cause I didn't need two. The HD is a great gun and I love the thing but it is all stainless and heavy. That and the condition one carry. Like my Hi Power, I have a Milt Sparks IWB for it but I'm just not comfortable carrying cocked and locked. Also the safety. You have to remember to flip it off with your thumb and in the heat of action I'd rather have a gun I can just point and pull the trigger. My P238 is still with me but it is a range gun now. At least it isn't a safe queen.

It's funny, but CA is considered a liberal state based on it's gun laws. It's really only liberal in LA and the Bay area. The rest of the state is quite conservative.

The issue of "Gun Control" as a left/right liberal/conservative issue is not so clear cut. Gun nuts have a lot more in common with liberals than they both realize, especially in light of the fact that most of the early anti-gun legislation was aimed primarily at blacks. If you look at the history of gun control in CA in the mid 20th century, most of the laws were a result of blacks arming themselves.

EDIT: Here's an article in the Atlantic (not a conservative organ by any means) from just a few months ago.

"...a common dynamic in America’s gun culture: extremism stirs a strong reaction. The aggressive Southern effort to disarm the freedmen prompted a constitutional amendment to better protect their rights. A hundred years later, the Black Panthers’ brazen insistence on the right to bear arms led whites, including conservative Republicans, to support new gun control. Then the pendulum swung back. The gun-control laws of the late 1960s, designed to restrict the use of guns by urban black leftist radicals, fueled the rise of the present-day gun-rights movement—one that, in an ironic reversal, is predominantly white, rural, and politically conservative.

When I lived in LA, I wished I could sometimes. When I moved to WA, I was kinda' excited that I could get a permit, but now that I've lived here for over five years I have absolutely no desire to apply. I have never felt that I needed one. I suppose I should apply.
