The Wife now prefers the S&W M&P 40c for EDC, I'm finding I am carrying the full size M&P 40 more often than my others even more so than my 1911 but who knows, I may change my mind next month and start carrying the Ruger GP100 357 again.
 
Unfortunately, I'm limited in what I have, as most are handed down weapons. I carry a .22 revolver in the GHB, but a LOT of ammo, lol. Eventually, I'll get a 9mm for this, but hard to justify the cost at this time. For now, I'm glad to have SOMETHING at hand. The wife has a .25 little semi-auto. (odd caliber, but kind of nice, just a little bit girly looking of a gun, but it shoots nice)

Some better weaponry at the house though, but still more I'd want to get. For burglar greeting, I grab the 12 gauge.....(and tuck a .38 revolver at the waist).
 
Ruger BSR9c w/17rd mag with Hornady Critical Duty and extra 17rd mag and either a Kershaw, Gerber or a Hoffman Richter knife, which ever one I grab out of the drawer that day! The Ruger is on my side even around the house also, never want to be to far away from a weapon!

Hey, I have a question about your Bersa- my father could never get his to fire a full mag without some kind of jam. Did this happen to you/ did you have any gunsmithing done to it? The Kel tec P32 is always in my pocket.

Wish I could have a magazine over 10 rounds...

We definitely have a problem over here with guns as easily gotten as a soda.

We don't have a problem with guns.... we have a problem with lenient sentencing and treatment of criminals.
Obviously, you don't live here in the communist state of kalifornia. getting guns here is not all that easy depending on where you live. The state as a whole has a 10-day wait before you can pick it up. Magazines limited to 10 rounds, and you can only buy ONE handgun every 30 days. Then there are the assault weapons laws that we have to comply with by January 1, 2018. Also starting January 1, 2018, you will need a license to buy ammo, and it will be subject to a 10% tax, plus additional restrictions on ammo.

Considering I just got my CCW here in Commiefornia, I carry a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm as a general rule. If I am going to less than desirable parts of the county I will carry my Glock 23.

How do you carry the smith 9mm? Mine was a little big to fit in my pocket comfortably. I tried an inside the waist band holster and didn't like it much. I've never tried a shoulder holster yet, but it may be an option in the winter with a jacket. I'm carrying a 380 now as it easily fits in a pocket, but it lacks the punch of the 9 that I would prefer.

How do the AR rules apply to existing rifles owned?
 
I have a ccw, and usually carry a s&w .38 snubnose 442, a speedloader, and .38 special +p 124 grain semijacked hollowpoints. This piece rides in a leather disantis ankle holster.lj

I carry swiss army knife with all the goodies, a zippo cigarette lighter, a minimag light (the kind that uses 1 aaa battery), 440 paracord boot laces in my jungle boots, a lifestraw water purifier, a small orienteering compass, several lockpicks, and small concealed handcuff keys secreted in different parts of my clothing.

Also, a charged cell phone.

I've picked locks as a favor whe people locked themselves out of their cars and apartments.

I also carry a prepaid visa card, money, and a little notebook with all my numbers in case of an EMP (or theft).

The lockpick and handcuff keys are interesting and I've never really thought about them. The guy I get free glass gallon jugs from had a business making lock picks. He sold them all over the world. He just sold the business to another guy for retirement income. He had multi tool like kits that were cool looking, and several other different type of kits. I may look into getting one for the bob. The handcuff key? I'm sure you could get locked up by some overzealous dumb ### cop during a disaster, but think I would just do my best to avoid anyone like that. True enough though, if you are sporting a rifle during an emergency, even only defensively, it is likely to bring unwanted attention.
 
I got my concealed carry permit and bought a glock 19 9mm with a 15 round magazine and bought a glock 17 Pmag (17 rounds) for my extra magazine
 
Not sure where everyone gets their holsters but I have found my holsters of choice at On Your 6 Designs, www.onyour6designs.com . They have a lifetime guarantee and so dang comfortable I forget I have it on! Just a plug if anyone is interested.
