What are you Carrying?

I'm concerned about maximum concealibility, so went with the Kel Tec p3AT and a K&D leather convertible pocket holster.

I carry a Glock 29 subcompact using a Clipdraw instead of a holster. I've had my CCW for about 1 1/2 years, but I recall it took a LONG time for the license to come back. I applied for my Utah license at the same time and it was back within just a few weeks. NM doesn't seem to be all that crazy about issuing the CCW license quickly.

I'm using (will be using) an XD40 with a Crossbreed IWB holster.

Have carried daily for a lot of years and have tired numerious combinations from ankle holsters, belly band holsters, inside the pants, with a variety of diffrent handguns and the Kel Tek 32 works best for me. Just drop it in the pocket and forget about it.

I have had my application in for about 2-3 months if I recall correctlly. When I called them they said it was taking them an average of 100+ days to process the BG check. After that it is another 30 days to get the permit. Needless to say I am not happy.

When I FINALLY get my CCW I will be carrying my XD40 service model until I can afford a XD40SC. You wouldnt think the thing is smaller but it is and the magazines are interchangeable :D

I carry a Glock 27 IWB and have had my CCW since April of this year. As I recall it took 52 days for mine to arrive, 60 for Florida.

I carried the Kel-Tec P32 in my pocket for quite awhile before upgrading
to the Kahr PM9. More power, yet still fits in the pocket. Nice!!!:)

Glock KImber keltec not all the same time

"Glock Kimber Keltec not all the same time". Very good that you brought that up. NM has a law problem that needs to be cleared up - ONLY ONE weapon carried at any time. No allowance for a backup. I carry a Ruger SP 101, unless I'm going to the mall :(, then it's the Ruger GP 100 - .357, and spare speed strips. Being a revolver guy, a backup would be way better than a fumbling speed strip (I do practice, honest! They are just slow). Any thoughts on presenting a statute change in 2009 (2008 is financial only), to correct that problem?

I agree that changes need to be made in the statute. The powers that be in Santa Fe are still not very gun frendly, and it is taking time to get reasonalbe changes made in the law. I would like to see the permits good for five years, as many other states have, instead of having to take the class and pay the fees every two years, and I do not see why they added the only one weapon at a time language, except to make it more difficult for concealed carry. Hope it changes in the near future.:)
