Why do you guys want a ccw??? I can understand having a firearm on you for personal protection, but why not be like coral snakes and advertise your defense sysytem?? A friend of mine has his ccw, but rather than concealing his .45 acp snub nose job, he wears a .357 mag revolver around on a bandolera. Says was held up twice before he started carrying it on his hip, once without it concealed, and once while it was concealed, once with a knife, then once at gun point, respectively. Tell me you can dig into your pocket and shoot someone before they shoot you if they have you at gun point before you know they are there. He says that he gets strange looks from some people, but he thinks it scares off any bad guys as well as the old ladies. It's like putting one of those "this home protected by yadda yadda" signs in front of your house, it tells robbers to not even try. I know I plan to carry mine on my hip when I feel the need as soon as I get my revolver.
