I hesitate at the moment to apply for CCW...don’t want my ID on ‘their’ list. But if I had anything and were to carry, it would be a Springfield XD-45 w/4” barrel...with 13 + 1. It is not big, nor is it heavy, and it is accurate :) ... easy to keep on target ... does not ‘lift’.
Now my question...should I or should I not get a concealed carry permit?
In my opinion, there are so many millions of gun owners and ccw folks that nobody, not the ATF or the DOJ is even going to notice your application. At this stage in the game they're not going to even have time to notice anybody unless such an one is buying 20 guns at a time.
But that's just me.
