    Live in TN and have TN HCP: any need for a UT permit?

    I got my UT permit several years ago when I lived in AL. Then it was a good idea given the number of states that would not recognize the AL permit. Now, I live in TN and have my TN HCP (or whatever it's called). My UT permit is expiring this month. Is there any good reason to renew my UT...

    OC Holster for Sig P226?

    I've been OCing my S&W 329PD (.44 Mag) for about 3 years now, but now I'd like to start carrying my Sig P226 again. I haven't carried that gun since the early '90's when I got my Glock 23. Nostalgia, old memories, don't know why, I just do. In any event, I need a slip on, clamp on, paddle...
