Around here, .380 was fairly easy to find though I have bought any lately since I still have several boxes left. The only time I had any problem with the gun was when I shot it after shooting about 35 rounds of .357 and then 50 of the .38's so I was getting tired and ended up limp-wristing the .380 by around the 40th round so it jammed. I've solved that problem by shooting the .380 first and haven't had any problems since.

Re: Open or Conceal Carry?

I think both are great, I would rather have open and carry and make it mandatory everyone owns a gun and shows it proudly.

I guess open allows criminals and dumbshits to have the option to pull first but they wont. Its not like everyone in concel and carry states actually happens to have a pistol on them obviously but it allows the criminals to think twice before they pull a "stunt"

I would love an open.

That would be a hell of a nice "change"

I find it strange that there are so many gun carriers in here (and that so many of their friends does it too) when there apparently only are 3 million CCW holders in the whole country. Or was it 3% of the total population? Either way, a very low percentage.

I don't care for theiving even if I have the opportunity to do it and surely get away with it.

I have to live with myself after all.

But, no if I was someone that didn't care about such things and knew you could plug a .357 through me, I would find someone safer to ripoff

Re: Open or Conceal Carry?

I've been down in some ratty neighborhoods when working and the vagrants/junkies/drunks/hookers nearby have never bugged me because they assume (and they would be right) that I'm packing.
