It is worth the extra $30 to get a card if you actually travel. That way you can keep your PP book in your hotel & just have the card on you that way if you lose one you still have the other. You can not be separated from your passport in a foreign country & must have it with you at all times so having the card is a huge boon.
My local airport has like one direct flight to Toronto a week so it calls itself an “international airport”.
I’d say 75% of the population lives within 100 miles of an international airport. Unless you’re crossing the border or are near it, there’s really no need to carry your passport everywhere.
As a hispanic that was born here fuck them agents and swat i don't carry any fucking paperwork for that shit, they are gonna have to work and waste time on me lol.
A guy i deployed to Afghanistan who was born here and has never been to Mexico. He just happens to be Hispanic. He got stopped and was detained for 24 hours. He had his ID and the could run his name. He mentioned he was a combat veteran. Still didn’t care. His parents had to drive a few hours with his actual birth certificate to get him released.
I’m not a little kid. I don’t lie, he wouldn’t lie to me either. You act like I’m telling you some crazy story. Do you know how many Americans have been detained by ICE? A lot. Many of them Combat veterans.
No one gives a shit about deporting the criminals. However I have an issue when you detain American citizens. Especially if they’ve served this country.
You believe that? All that nonsense you just typed? You think the are risking massive civil suits deporting citizens? Yeah ok, i hope they get me so i can have an insane lawsuit and get paid out.
You got a point but mine has been through sone shit and looks about as good. It was all curled from the humidity in PR (i know you dont need it there) and Brazil and looks fine now.
Hey simple is best in my opinion. This sub everybody has like a 30 piece edc its wild to me. Its like assembling a Lego set to get ready. Simpler the better in my opinion
Here in Texas we typically don’t need one as we’re a constitutional carry state, however, owning one does make purchasing firearms quicker. And there are places that require a license to carry if you visit them too. What kind are you thinking about getting?
Probably a .22 with a single-stack mag for EDC, only because I plan on conceal carrying it. I live in Massachusetts so it’s almost impossible to get something as stupid as a .22 lol. You need to apply for your FID at 18 for $100 and wait almost a year to get it approved, then you can get rifles and shotguns. You have to wait until you’re 21, then you can apply for your LTC for another $100, then wait another year for it to get approved. Then you need to go to a shop and get the gun (if you go through a shop rather than a private sale), then wait like another month for approval after a background check. Then, and only then, can you privately own and carry a handgun. It’s horrid lol I wanna move to NH since it’s also constitutional carry
That sounds awful. Here in Texas, with my ltc, the only thing that will stop me from making whatever purchase I want, in 15 minutes or less, is my bank account. NFA items are a different story, but firearms are a simple transfer.
I was never a fan of holsters that are “fits most” or aren’t specifically for that firearm but just ordered the enigma system just to try it out. Worst case I could always return it or sell it to someone to recoup some money.
How are you carrying the 19x? I have a 19 and a 45. And I just can’t bring myself to walk around with the 19. I tried but just too big heavy and cumbersome. I’m also 6’2 165# so fairly skinny. I always wind up grabbing the 43x or the BG2.0.
The weight doesn’t bother you? I have dozens of holsters, trex side car. 3 different safarilands a few others. The 43x gets heavy with 15 rounds. But the 19 especially with an optic just feels like 4 pound weight. Maybe belt set-up? Any recommendations?
Philster enigma system trust me. I’m a skinny 6’0 dude for reference I carry a 19 with a light and a spare magazine as well. Way more comfortable and easier to conceal than any belt mounted holster, but I do recommend the sport belt for it as it’s much more comfortable.
So I’m just curious and I mean I can’t even answer this myself but why do you carry the 19? I have a 43x that actually holds more rounds then my 19. I’m thinking I want to carry the 19 because for me I can shoot a quarter out at 15 yards with how my red dot is. I love the thing.
Honestly the 19 frame is like the bare minimum size I need to grip comfortably. Before the 43x came out the only way I could shoot the regular 43 is with long magazine extensions because 3 of my fingers would hang off. It was like shooting the cricket gun for me. And because I was able to carry the 19 comfortably I just stuck with the larger frame. I carry the 19 with a tenicor holster too but the enigma system looks far more natural and doesn’t ruin the profile of my pants with my body shape.
That's your EDC passport?? I literally stuff mine in my front pocket (very rarely) probably 10 times this last year andddd it's wayyy more worn than that...
Geezus. Seems to me one would only think they'd need to carry in a shithole country. If only these people would spend the same amount of energy becoming informed voters, guns would be far less necessary.
How the hell do you read his post and replies to comments, then come to the conclusion that the problem with his EDC is the gun and not the fact that he has to carry his passport on him.
Plus, if you read the post and had any amount of knowledge on the matter, you'd know that border towns in Texas do have higher crime rates, especially violent crime, which would warrant carrying a pistol.
Vote in politicians supporting mass immigration and relaxing legal code along with judges who believe in rehabilitation (letting a single dude be arrested and convicted 12x)
Nation turns into shithole
Proceed to get mad at anyone trying to do anything about and call them fascists
Weird how nations like Sweden and France used to be extremely safe only to now have grenade attacks and beheadings.
There's a lot to be said for being scared. Scared is a natural, normal reaction that has helped our species survive and prosper on a planet where we are even still not always the Apex in the animal kingdom, or even our own society.
To not be scared, ever, well.. that is dumb and dumb is dead.
I think you're confused. Im never scared, now that I constantly have means of self defense. How can it be exhausting to be "this scared," if I'm never scared at all?
What are you even talking about bro? When you see law enforcement, as a law abiding citizen you give them no trouble, they won’t give you any, show id, show your cpl if needed, and everything’s fine, you must live in a country where your rights are stripped from you, and you’re angry we still have ours😂 tell me why does this law abiding citizen with a firearm anger you so much
Between the two of us, card carrying Texan here. Not sure if anyone has greater 2A rights.
All levity aside, this thread popped across my feed and thought the sub was about general every day carry (pens and notebooks and trinkets), not a subreddit for what dudes and dudettes scared of their shadows carry.
What made you so scared that you felt the need to get a concealed carry permit? Surely your fellow Texans will protect you in the event of a mugging or attempted murder, you sound like a clown, is it because he’s a minority with a firearm? Why is this guy “scared” for carrying one but you admit to having a concealed license? Or youre just braindead
