Some general gun activity/habit questions.
Just curious about a few of these topics, questions but kind of a survey too I guess. Feel free to reply to just one or all the following or add your own question.
1. How many of you carry a tourniquet? If you do, do you carry it on you when ever you carry your weapon? If you don't, why not? If you do, how do you do it and what kind. I have one I keep in my backpack that goes everywhere with me but I do not take it with me outside the truck or when in a store. Mainly because it is kind of big and awkward to find a comfortable place to keep it, maybe I need a better one. 2. Do you shower with your gun? I have to admit, when home. I rarely have my gun in the bathroom ever, maybe I should have one stashed in there. But when on the road and staying in hotels I always have mine on me or next to me. I take it in the bathroom when I shower and just wrap it in a small wash cloth to help cut down on the moisture it may get exposed to and set it on the nearest dry place within reach. Just me? I feel I do not want to get cornered in a hotel bathroom with nothing but my Johnson in my hand. If you do, how do you store it, in the open? covered in something? 3. For times when you are busy and do not get to go shooting for quite some time, how often do you clean your daily carry? Sweating on a gun is one thing. But if not sweating on it, what about lint, dirt/dust buildup? 4. Is there anywhere legal to carry where you feel uncomfortable carrying? 5. How often do you "Actually" get around to cycling your Defensive Ammo? 6. Public Toilets: Do you leave it in the holster on the belt, out of holster or gun and holster removed while you do your thing. If out or holster off, where do you put it? 7. Have you gotten CCW insurance? 8. Have you done any classes/training beyond your basic CCW class? I have not yet but will be doing so. 9. How long has it been since you last practiced with/fired your carry?

^^^ Musty's answers are so close to mine that posting mine would be redundant. I crawl in attics and under houses etc... my piece gets a lot of lint and dust so I field strip it weekly. I carry a Glock 99% of the time so I don't worry that I need to do it more often.

1. How many of you carry a tourniquet? No. I'll get flame for this, but I'm usually within 200 feet of my vehicle's safety kit, or the plethora of them at work, or something else to MacGyver.
2. Do you shower with your gun? No. They don't like getting wet, although I'll admit every one of my handguns has laid on the floor of my bathroom at one time or another. 3. For times when you are busy and do not get to go shooting for quite some time, how often do you clean your daily carry? Once a month. Function check and practice at range, and lubrication. 4. Is there anywhere legal to carry where you feel uncomfortable carrying? "Gun Free" zones. I know its a lie. 5. How often do you "Actually" get around to cycling your Defensive Ammo? Not often enough. 6. Public Toilets: Do you leave it in the holster on the belt, out of holster or gun and holster removed while you do your thing. If out or holster off, where do you put it? On the floor at home, still in the holster, or on a higher surface in a public place like the toilet paper dispenser. 7. Have you gotten CCW insurance? What. 8. Have you done any classes/training beyond your basic CCW class? Yes, but I'm no expert. Had my BSIS permits in CA, PILB permits here in NV, and attended a POST academy in Northern California a few year back. You can never call yourself an expert because you'll learn something until the day you die. AS for CCW classes... Even in Nevada the classes are a joke. If the $50 ones made me cringe, I can't imagine what the free ones are like. Take things with a grain of salt because you'll run into opposing techniques and philosophies frequently. 9. How long has it been since you last practiced with/fired your carry? 4 hours.

Put your piece in your unters in between your ankles when using the lieu at Chevron.

Mainly because it is kind of big and awkward to find a comfortable place to keep it, maybe I need a better one. Not on me, but I have a trauma kit in the truck that has 3. I don't obsess about them, and don't take them with me when I am going to be away from the truck for any period. 2. Do you shower with your gun? I have to admit, when home. I rarely have my gun in the bathroom ever, maybe I should have one stashed in there. But when on the road and staying in hotels I always have mine on me or next to me. I take it in the bathroom when I shower and just wrap it in a small wash cloth to help cut down on the moisture it may get exposed to and set it on the nearest dry place within reach. Just me? I feel I do not want to get cornered in a hotel bathroom with nothing but my Johnson in my hand. If you do, how do you store it, in the open? covered in something? I do not. 3. For times when you are busy and do not get to go shooting for quite some time, how often do you clean your daily carry? Sweating on a gun is one thing. But if not sweating on it, what about lint, dirt/dust buildup? I try to shoot once a month, and fully clean the carry gun after. Between range days, I inspect and clean as needed, usually after any time in a dirty/sweaty/dusty location 4. Is there anywhere legal to carry where you feel uncomfortable carrying? Nope - that went away after a few weeks with a CCW. Still, when in public, I discretetly double check my concealment whenever a LEO walks into the room. 5. How often do you "Actually" get around to cycling your Defensive Ammo? Monthly-ish... 6. Public Toilets: Do you leave it in the holster on the belt, out of holster or gun and holster removed while you do your thing. If out or holster off, where do you put it? In the holster, on the belt. 7. Have you gotten CCW insurance? Nope 8. Have you done any classes/training beyond your basic CCW class? I have not yet but will be doing so. Yes - moving and shooting, shooting from concealment, low-light shooting... more for fun than anything else. 9. How long has it been since you last practiced with/fired your carry? 23 days |

I have one I keep in my backpack that goes everywhere with me but I do not take it with me outside the truck or when in a store. Mainly because it is kind of big and awkward to find a comfortable place to keep it, maybe I need a better one. Yes. My shoe laces are my tourniquet. I feel like I’ll win the lottery before ever applying a tourniquet. 2. Do you shower with your gun? I have to admit, when home. I rarely have my gun in the bathroom ever, maybe I should have one stashed in there. But when on the road and staying in hotels I always have mine on me or next to me. I take it in the bathroom when I shower and just wrap it in a small wash cloth to help cut down on the moisture it may get exposed to and set it on the nearest dry place within reach. Just me? I feel I do not want to get cornered in a hotel bathroom with nothing but my Johnson in my hand. If you do, how do you store it, in the open? covered in something? I have a gun with me at all times, including the bathroom. Didn’t you see Pulp Fiction??? 3. For times when you are busy and do not get to go shooting for quite some time, how often do you clean your daily carry? Sweating on a gun is one thing. But if not sweating on it, what about lint, dirt/dust buildup? I shoot once every other month or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I wipe my EDC gun(s) and do a lint check about 3-4 weeks. 4. Is there anywhere legal to carry where you feel uncomfortable carrying? Not yet. 5. How often do you "Actually" get around to cycling your Defensive Ammo? Every time I clean my weapon, the ammo gets cycled so as not to chamber the same bullet over and over again, possibly causing a headspace or over-pressure problem. 6. Public Toilets: Do you leave it in the holster on the belt, out of holster or gun and holster removed while you do your thing. If out or holster off, where do you put it? I place my heater inside the pants pocket while sitting on a toilet. After I’m done “transferring” a Democrat politician to Santa Monica bay, I’ll then reholster in the kydex IWB. ...always washing my hands too. 7. Have you gotten CCW insurance? Yes. It’s called “cheap-insurance.” I carry a second gun, “ensuring” that if my primary fails, I have a back-up. 8. Have you done any classes/training beyond your basic CCW class? I have not yet but will be doing so. Yes, all the time. Technically I never took a ccw class. Sworn LEO here, and I’ve been through a ton of firearms training and self (desert) firearms training. 9. How long has it been since you last practiced with/fired your carry? 1 month ago.

Regarding question #6: I use the stall with the toilet when carrying in public. Learned my lesson after stupidly revealing my revolver at a public rest stop somewhere between Weed, CA and Klamath Falls, OR.
Lucky for me it was a like minded guy that didn't care. |

1. How many of you carry a tourniquet? No. I've got a belt though, if I need it.
2. Do you shower with your gun? No, but one is usually nearby. As silly of a thought as this is, it kind of makes sense. I live in the 'hood and I'm usually home during the day. Being in the tub or shower midday when the burglars are at work would leave me quite vulnerable so having a piece handy makes sense. 3. For times when you are busy and do not get to go shooting for quite some time, how often do you clean your daily carry? I function check my gun almost daily, but don't strip it down and clean it unless I shoot it. 4. Is there anywhere legal to carry where you feel uncomfortable carrying? No. 5. How often do you "Actually" get around to cycling your Defensive Ammo? I never do. 6. Public Toilets: Do you leave it in the holster on the belt, out of holster or gun and holster removed while you do your thing. If out or holster off, where do you put it? I leave it in the holster and put it on my chonies in a sort of gun hammock. 7. Have you gotten CCW insurance? No. 8. Have you done any classes/training beyond your basic CCW class? Not really. 9. How long has it been since you last practiced with/fired your carry? 2 weeks. |

1. Don't carry one, but can fashion one good enough until EMS arrives. However I am looking for a tacmed training course that will let me deal with a multitude of traumas and I will buy/build a small trauma kit after that
2. No. I figure the probability of my needing my sidearm is highest outside of my home or hotel room and the probability is pretty darn low if I am in the shower and would need it. Does that mean I am not carrying when not in the shower but at home or in a hotel..... that is for me to know and the bad guy to find out the hard way 3. I shoot my carry gun monthly at a local combat pistol league. It gets wiped down after, reloaded and holstered. Actually cleaned 2-3 times a year max. 4. No 5. 2-3 times a year with 6 days a week of carrying. So far it has all still gone bang 6. With a good stiff gun belt and IWB holsters I leave it in the holster on the belt. Have yet to feel the need to pull it and put it someplace in the stall 7. Yes, CCWSafe 8. I shoot USPSA several times a month and also use my carry gun in a monthly combat pistol league. 9. See #8 |
