Re: How many rounds does your CCW hold?

Either 8 rounds of 9mm or 16 rounds of 9mm depending on what I'm toting. Always have one extra mag.

Re: Opinions on possible retirement to Ky or Tenn

I can't say about KY but have lived in TN a long time. TN has no state income tax and as long as you are east of the TN River it is hard to go wrong. West TN has more in common with MS culturally and topographically and is considered by many to be part of MS. Nashville is a boom town now and is in D...

Re: On ramping up the supply of rim-fire ammo.

Re: Carry of a j-frame for ccw

The Bianchi Model 6 is an old school IWB holster with a metal clip to hold it in your belt. I have one from many years ago. I used to put the clip under my belt and tuck my shirt in over the gun. You have to pooch out your shirt just a little over the gun but it's no problem.

In my area there have always been a lot of lever guns floating around. The Marlin 336 has always been a staple gun. That created a situation where pawn shops had many Marlins and some Winchesters.
