    Open Carry in Practice: Who's done it? | Vigilance Elite

    This has been mine experience as well except I've been OCing since Feb. 2011. It is utterly amazing how many have no clue you are open carrying in day to day life.

    Live in TN and have TN HCP: any need for a UT permit?

    I got my UT permit several years ago when I lived in AL. Then it was a good idea given the number of states that would not recognize the AL permit. Now, I live in TN and have my TN HCP (or whatever it's called). My UT permit is expiring this month. Is there any good reason to renew my UT...

    OC Holster for Sig P226?

    I've been OCing my S&W 329PD (.44 Mag) for about 3 years now, but now I'd like to start carrying my Sig P226 again. I haven't carried that gun since the early '90's when I got my Glock 23. Nostalgia, old memories, don't know why, I just do. In any event, I need a slip on, clamp on, paddle...

    My trip to area 51

    That's the truth. My son and I stopped by there during our Summer 2008 desert trip. My then 15 year old son didn't even finish his hamburger, it was that bad. How can you possibly screw up a hamburger? The owners have a poor reputation for customer service. But that's to be expected for a...
