Due to the fact that I am not a cop for the USAF, I don't carry a pistol for my regular job, hell, I'm not even qualified on it. So, this will be a first for me when I go run some errands later. Since it's kinda warm here, I'll probably carry the Makarov since it's smaller than my 1911, and I haven't recieved that carry holster for my Sigma from RFH yet.

I can't carry my Desert Eagle in New Mexico since I didn't qualify with it. I qualified with my 1911, so all I can carry is a .45 caliber and smaller. Kinda sucks, but crapola happens.

Ouch......forcing me to "qualify" with my choice of firearm is a form of infringement on my 2A rights, if you ask me......

Well, you shouldn't be undergunned with the 1911; worked for the military for many years, and put a lot of guys underground. Still does.
It wasn't that I was forced to qualify with anything, it's just I couldn't legally qualify with my Desert Eagle cuz I was shooting reloads, you are required by law in New Mexico to qualify with factory loads. That's the only reason I didn't qualify with the .50 AE.

Well, bad news. I am going to be without my carry permit for about a week.

Since I recently moved, I had to call the State and see what was required for a change of address. I had to print and fill out a replacement application, get my New Mexico State ID card updated and photocopied, and send my actual permit with all that other stuff and a check for $5.00 to the state. The good thing is that they said the turn around time is only 5 to 7 days and I'll have it back. We'll see how it really goes.

I won't carry a .380. It's too small and the termial effects of the round aren't sufficient to dependably penetrate to vital organs according to the penetration tests conducted by the FBI.
