Concealed Carry

Just reading between the lines over a long period of time some people think they don't have to go through the NIC's check if they have a concealed carry permit. Am I missing something here?
Comments
Here's the question: Is there any rational reason for me to feel that way? I have a Kel-Tec P3AT,a Glock 22 and a baby Browning 25 acp (manual safety, but boy it moves easy....) and I'm just uncomfortable chambering unless I'm practicing. I know, I know, defeats the purpose of self-defense as if you actually need it, having to chamber a round is a recipe for disaster.
Common sense tells me the striker fired Kel-Tec won't accidentally go off, as the trigger pull is pretty stiff. Haven't fired the Browning since my dad gave it to me, so not too sure there, and the Glock shouldn't be an issue either.
Maybe I should just stick to the airweight in warmer weather, and the Smith .357 or the Ruger in colder weather.......
Any advice on what I should buy Type of holster and if I should look at a new gun? PS (There are a million threads on best pistols for the job so that is not what I'm asking)
Update I just purchsed "The Gun Digest Book Of Concealed Carry"
Massad Ayoob; Paperback; $12.49
~When asked these three questions: Always respond with a NO.
From a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer:
I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions:
1. Did I feel stressed?
2. Did I feel threatened?
3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?
The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security. Looks like they are going after the vets first.
Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware.
The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner veteran or not, you've been warned.
If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.
I mean, if you can pass muster to buy one, then why pass a second muster to carry it?? DUHHHHHHHHHHH
"Naturally, you can just stick a small handgun in your pocket unsheathed, but this is not without drawbacks. Lint and pocket crud can work its way into the action. And we remember one horror story from an instructor at the Smith and Wesson Academy concerning a plainclothesman who habitually packed a J-frame 2-inch wheelgun that way. Somehow, an errant dime worked its way into the gap between the cylinder face and the forcing cone, effectively tying up the gun. He'd packed it for about a week that way before he discovered the problem." Huh??
Excuse me, but how the heck did he know that the dime had been there for a week BEFORE "he discovered the problem"?
Where has packing.org gone?
If this sight is no longer We all will lose out on valuble info.
What does your state charge?

Now don't blast me, but has anybody else heard this. If so can you provide the text of the Bill that supports this. I did look the bill up, But could have missed that section. But do not think so. Could it be added and I missed the addition. That could be.
check search in the right hand corner and type in (Concealed Carry )
You might try renting a few handguns at your local indoor shooting range and find one that is more comfortable to shoot.
Try a 9mm Glock 19.
So, a new guy comes on here and asks a question that has been asked 500 times before. So what? Give the newbie a break. Answer his question. Without pointing out the 500 other posts. And without making a donkey of yourself. Be men. Be gracious. Get over yourselves.
why? so the same question can be asked an answered over and over and over again?
what ever happened to doing your own work, not demanding that others spoon feed you the answers to your questions?
Sig P290 (haven't shot one yet, but I sure want one)
If looking for something a bit cheaper
Ruger LC9

You put far more effort into responding to questions by telling people to look it up their self than it takes to simply ignore the posts that ask a question that's been answered before.
Your choice to respond (or not) to any and all threads as you see fit, so long as it's within the forum guidelines....just sayin' it'd be easier to ignore them.

Bingo. It's actually NOT about wanting people to do their own homework. It's more about making a point, making sure that the newbie knows his place, and just being a jerk in general.

Things change.....manufacturers introduce new guns and holsters all the time.
Concealed carry guns are evolving more rapidly than any other segment of the market, I'd wager.
I currently carry my G26 in a Crossbreed Supertuck, but switchin to a G19 as soon as my Supertuck arrives. I'm a little concerned that the end of the gun sticking out the end of the holster might push it up.
I am seriously considering the G26 myself and would like to know your thoughts about it and why you are switching to the G19.
Carry as I do: S&W Centennial.
There are grip extensions for the 26 that replace the cap on the bottom of the mag. Only thing is that I dont put anything on my gun except Original Glock Parts or a Trijicon brand site. I dont mess with perfection.
Good luck and update us with a post to let us know what you get.

I carried the G27 (same size) for a few years, only issue I had with it was the lack of a place to put your pinky finger. I added a scherer +1 base plate and problem solved without having to move up to a bigger pistol. Than I switched to HK P2000sk when they came out with the LEM trigger, I just liked it better than the Glock.
Now for comfort reasons I've switched to generally carrying my keltec P3AT, I just learned to get used to not having much gun to hold on to. Seriously considering a new Sig P290 though.

My G26 with Crimson has been flawless. In around 5,000 rounds it's never blinked.
I just like the G19 because it has 5 more rounds, allows 1 more finger on the grip, and appears to be just around 1/2" taller/longer than my G26.
i'll be selling all my .380 an 9mm pistols as soon as i get
my hands on the sig.
