I would stay away from the Chinese Uzi's, unless, of course, you're lucky enough to come across one made in Fuk Dup, a small village about 150 clicks north of Hu Shiit, where 99% of the Chinese Uzi's are made.

The Fuk Dup Uzi's are made by a well known gunsmith, How Long, who has been meticulously crafting these guns for, oh, I don't know how long. I know How Long, having actually met him in his Fuk Dup gun works while on a wild Feng Shui, nunchuk hunting trip in the province of Nunchuk. How Long has his whole Fuk Dup family working on these fine pieces.

Stay away from the mass produced Hu Shiit Uzi's; compared to Fuk Dup Uzi's, they stink.

How Long is from Hu Shiit and wants to retire there. He's getting older with the passing years and, according to his Fuk Dup family, has been becoming more lax in working on his Fuk Dup Uzi's, spending hours on end wandering around his Fuk Dup gun works, wistfully mumbling, Hu Shiit, Hu Shiit.

I don't know how long How Long will be producing his Fuk Dup Uzi's, and his Fuk Dup family wants to go to Nunchuk province and make nunchuks when he retires to Hu Shiit, so if you want a Fuk Dup Uzi, I'd start looking now.

If you can handle a pistol slightly larger, your choices open up immensely to all the new .380 pocket pistols:

Kahr P380 (stainless/polymer)
Ruger LCP (stainless/polymer)
Kel Tec P3AT (hard chrome/polymer)
Taurus TCP (actually available in titanium/polymer)
S&W Bodyguard (not sure?)
Sig P238 (stainless/polymer)
Etc, etc

The Kahr is the smallest and probably the best of the lot. I personally have a Ruger LCP that i like a lot.

And if you're one of the first one or two shot in a *surprise!* situation, it doesn't matter if you are in a police station or on a NATO base. You're toast.
If you have a tiny little pistol, why not carry everywhere? That's the entire point of buying such a small gun to begin with.

And as pointed out earlier, it really doesn't matter who approves or understands.

I carry my LCP everywhere, it is totally unobtrusive, and even if it does show or print once in a while, i live in an open carry state anyway.

I've had a couple places comment on me carrying a weapon, but it was always my tiny little pocket folder knife. Once my bank branch's ass't manager commented i shouldn't bring my knife into the bank (imagine if she knew i had a gun too) because "we have a (unarmed) guard, we're all safe here." Once it was in some buddies shared rented house where some little leftist roomie of his whined about it (he told her to STFU), and finally, at a pizza place. I used my pocket knife to cut the pizza pie they delivered that they forgot to pre-slice for us. Instead of complaining, i cut it myself. The owner came over and asked me to never bring a weapon in her place again, I told her that her staff sucks for bringing me an un sliced pie, and that don't worry, i'll never come back under any circumstances ever again. I also told her i was legally licensed to carry weapons, including a gun. And asked her how smart it was to go over and instigate someone she saw with a weapon, that she thought might cause trouble.

Not very smart.

Last week, at a local ymca, a locker was pried open and a concealed weapon and a CWP was stolen. Be careful.

Then it wasn't properly concealed. When I lived in VA, I walked into the locker room to see some cops there taking reports. These crooks had not only pried off some padlocks and cleaned out the lockers, they put new padlocks on when they were done, so people thought they either had the wrong locker or had forgotten the combo. Gave them some more time to get away and took the cops a while to sort it all out. I park my bike in front of a huge wall of windows (bikes can park on sidewalks in AZ to stay in the shade). So I always have it in my line of sight. And I keep my stuff concealed and locked. The one time I went to the gym and then planned to open carry for a long hwy. ride on the bike, I first rode to a secluded area of the parking lot, so no one at the gym would see me strap it on.

I hear ya bro!

I've had the same sort of experience, numerous times. There are a fair number of pizza parlors where I live and I've been banned from every damned one. WTF is an armed dude with finely honed situational awareness supposed to do?! Now if I want pizza I gotta settle for the frozen crap from the supermarket.

Is it an Italian thing or something? I've NEVER had a problem at the gyros joints I frequent - except for the fat little Greek at the joint on State St. He used to hassle me when I ordered, said, Gyros? We don' sell gyroscopes, we sell YEAROS!

I finally got fed up with that shyte, whipped out my man-card and stuck it in the fat little fkrs face and said, STFU and gimme my GYROS! The little fkr's eyes got big as mini pizzas (I really miss pizza ), his jaw dropped, then he dropped his falafel and said, Comin' right up sir!

Haven't had a problem with him since.

I'll bet if you had a "print" going, that greasy little fkr wouldn't have messed with you! That would be so stupid! Hell, I hear even having a big-a$$ knife between your teeth will teach them to never mess with you again!

I keep a 8 3/8" M629 (stainless .44 mag) in my left hand at all times...ain't no spandex bimbo gonna get the drop on me in the gym. I only holster it when I hop on my mc for the ride home (amongst the idiot "cagers"). If'n I could only learn to operate the mc clutch holding the 629, I'd be a LOT safer .

ps: I "get" guns...owned 'em since I was 9, but I don't "get" the paranoia some seem to have if they're not packin'. Flame away...

OH YEAH!!

That REALLY works! I've actually done that twice. Both times at Jamba Juice joints. The limp wristed little juicers behind the counter literally quaked in their boots. HAHAHA!

I used the mini katana that I pack - the blade of choice for whacking frozen pizzas (real men cut their frozen pizzas before they microwave them).

I'm so good, and my mini katana is so freakin' sharp, that I can whack a frozen pie into 288 slices.

But I don't do the katana-between-teeth bit any more; the first time I did I sliced my upper lip and sucked down blood for an hour. The second time I decided to show a little less bravado and kept the sharp edge facing out.

That worked fine, but I showed just a leeetle bit too much flash and chipped two teeth. So now I just walk in with a rose clamped between my teeth and use my natural charm to get my way.

I know some of you wankers are gonna pile on and say, Wow, what a manly man! Them roses got really sharp thorns!

Yeah right, ass holes. I whack off the thorns with my katana first. Do you think I'm stoopid?

My giant knife that got the pizza people all worked up. All 2oz's of it:


The pistol it's next to is a Kel Tec P32 with an extended 10rd mag, the smallest auto on the market.

Just imagine the trouble a fella could start with a 2oz 3" blade at a pizza parlor! I fully understand why that pizza nazi chick got so upset, me bringing a "weapon" into her pizza parlor.

I could have slaughtered the entire staff with it, for sure.

LOL...

..."extended 10rd mag, the smallest auto on the market."

"This is my rifle, this is my gun. This one's for shooting, this one's for fun." Anyone who's been in the Army learned that.

And everyone knows that women can tell the size of a man's personal repeepeeter by the size of his repeater.

Well, except for some clueless macho dudes who brag about packing the smallest repeater on the market...with an extension!! HAHAHA!!

I'll lay odds those dudes are solo shooters...and probably get off on the rapid ejaculation of their spent cartridges. HAHAHA!

Same generalization applies to the size knife a dude packs.

I was at a pizza joint the other night and this strapping big dude wearing camo pants and tight white T shirt, packing one of those little repeaters in a pink holster saunters in and sits down at a table.

The cute little waitress came up to his table and saw he was packing and had pulled out a teensy 3" knife and laid it on his napkin. She REALLY went off on him! She stood right over the dude, laughing her cute little apple shaped ass off.

Is there a problem miss? he asked sternly. No, no! I just noticed your cute little gun - love your holster! Would you like to order a mini-pizza? Or some finger food? Then she cracked up laughing again.

Now everyone in the place was watching and giggling. So the big dude stands up, really pissed and says, Forget you, ya little pizza Nazi! I'm blown' this joint! Not in here your not Bruce! I'm going to have to ask you to leave. And be forewarned, don't blow your little joint in our parking lot - we have security cameras.

Boy was he pissed! He turned as pink as his holster and stomped out the door. The pizza parlor crowd roared with laughter when they read the big black letters on the back of his T shirt as he stormed out - they spelled out INSECURITY.

I was at the NRA show this weekend, somewhere over 100,000 people came through, most of them were probably carrying guns. I felt safer on the street outside the Lawrence center than inside. I kept thinking of that demonstration of nuclear fission, where they put 1000 armed mouse traps on the floor of a room and put a ping pong ball on each one, and then toss one ball in. One goes off, and in a second there are traps snapping and balls flying and none of them had any reason except that the first one did it.
Yeah, yeah, I know. You guys have your fears, I have mine.
I did meet Ted Nugent Saturday afternoon.

Picture a Muslim suicide shooter in the middle of the floor, whips out his spoon and starts spinning in circles spraying bullets.

Hell, he'd be Swiss cheese before he got two shots off. The instant, circular firing squad would be fantastically effective.

Of course there'd be some collateral damage, maybe a couple dozen bodies to carry out? Yeah well, this freedom we enjoy doesn't come cheap.

Never mind me. I'm such a downer.
