Are you afraid of sounding … well, let’s say “uneducated” when it comes to talking about firearms? Mag or clip? Bullet or cartridge?
If you are new to the shooting industry it can be a little overwhelming understanding the correct lingo.
If you’re like me, I didn’t want to use improper terms and sound uneducated. After all education is a part of being safe around firearms.
So, which terminology is correct – Concealed carry or conceal carry? Mag or clip?
Wikipedia defines the term in the past tense since of the act of concealment has already been completed. :
“Concealed carry (carrying a concealed weapon (CCW)) refers to the practice of carrying a handgun or other weapon in public in a concealed or hidden manner, either on one’s person or in close proximity. While most law enforcement officers carry their handguns in a visible holster, some officers, such as plainclothes detectives or undercover agents, carry weapons in concealed holsters. In some countries and jurisdictions, civilians are legally required to obtain a concealed carry permit in order to possess a firearm. In others, a permit is only required if the firearm is not visible to the eye, such as carrying said weapon in one’s purse, bag, trunk, etc. The opposite of concealed carry is called open carry.”
Magazine or clip? Bullet or cartridge?
” A cartridge is the proper name for a complete round of ammunition. Round is another term that is accurate and acceptable. A round or cartridge is made of several different components put together.” The bullet is the pointed or rounded top end, the projectile, that is forced out of the barrel due to the explosion (from gunpowder) when shooting. Check out a few others terms from GunBacker.
One more common term that gets misused is – Automatic or semi- automatic. In these days of the anti-gunners, it seems if it sounds scary then that is the word for the narrative.
A true Automatic firearm is found only on a battlefield (military purpose). Civilians are only allowed to own and possess semi automatic; meaning you must physically move the trigger each time in order to shoot a round (down range). Read more from Gun Trader.
Another confusing term to many is single action or double action. It is what it says it is. If your firearm is a Single -Action, when you pull the trigger, it does ONLY one action – drops the hammer. Likewise, a Double-Action firearm, does two functions. It will cock the hammer and drops the hammer, thus allowing the shot and the bullet flying down range.
Here’s to helping you better understand of some of technical lingo of becoming a responsibly armed shooter.
We’re keeping you incognito while being armed.
Are you troubled by the news lately?
Not sure what to believe; how to feel about the recent school shooting in Florida? Trying to make heads or tails out of the revolving reports, mis information, and talk of gun control?
There is one thing we should all understand upfront, that is we cannot control evil
… or people (though some may try).
It is hard to understand evil and evil acts. It’s tragic what happened in Parkland, Fl. at Stoneman Douglas High school. No dispute. Let’s take a break for all the reports, blame, hysteria and hype! What we need is time to deal with the sorrow, pain and loss… and a huge break from the blame game! Sometimes in life there aren’t solutions or answers.
I offer prayers for all those who have been affected and are suffering.
So, in order to move forward and protect our loved one; what we CAN DO as responsible human beings?
First off, and it’s probably obvious to most of you, all of us must take responsibility for our own safety. It’s not my job to guard you. I can however, share information that is helpful and can teach you how to be safe. It’s teaching you ‘how to fish’ (so you can then thrive on your own) and not just feeding you.

Times have changed… for good or not so good. What can you do to avoid becoming a victim? How can you stay safe? How do you protect your loved ones? Can we escape crime?
The best way and easiest way to stay safe is to be aware of your surroundings. We are lucky in this country to also have the power to protect ourselves, our homes, and property by the second amendment right. It’s your right to arm yourself if you so choose. There are other good options available as well as pepper spray (OC spray), knives, stun guns or tasers, personal alarms that are loud enough to scare anyone.
I suspect we agree that we want to keep these rights, but just because some don’t want to bear arms, doesn’t mean that you and I should no longer have the option. Luckily, we are a lot alike. I’m not a professional shooter, I’m not a TV talk personality, I don’t have any famous connections or know any celebrities, I’m just someone who wants to protect myself by concealed carrying, on body.
I want to look beautiful, sexy, and stylish even while carrying a firearm.
Please in light of these heated talks, political powerful stronghold special interest groups, reach out to your Senators and Representatives to tell them how you feel about the discussion on gun control, ASAP.
Don’t be troubled, there are solutions. Get some training in protecting yourself and loved ones. Your local gun range is a great place to start in learning about firearms, gun safety, practice shooting and understand your responsibilities should you decide to carry.
God speed!
