    The cue ball in the towel seems like an affective tool for protection. Just keep a pool cue in the truck too to explain to the officer you play pool on your off time lol

    Nice wrap. I like it. That's better than imagining Steven walking around with 1 sock and 2 shoes on his feet.

    Can't take what you can't see. I defused two situations with mine in the past .

    For me I'd probably get a 38 special. Easy to conceal. Easy to shoot. And if you need more the 6 shots, your probably screwed anyways

    Have you been to Chicago? I lived there for 10 years. If your customer or terminal is on the south or west side of the city you might have something to worry about, otherwise you're fine, Rush. :pottytrain2:

    I don't believe in a gun for protection out in public just for home protection. If someone wanted to kill you out on these streets they will and you won't even know it's gonna happen. Just like the cops getting snuck up on sitting in their cars getting shot and killed. The killers these days sneak up on you and take your life away.

    Burial etc is paid for. It goes back to our cancer days. A phone call takes care of the body. If it goes bad then it goes bad. At least I would go out trying to save someone. That would be plenty for me. Im not one to stick around too long in this world what with the medical issues that will worsen over time.

    To the other regarding internet commandos, you can save it. No commando here. Im too old for playing mall ninja.

    Im not familiar with the weapon you speak of. I hope that your trigger is good for you. I had a S&W which (M&P) did very good but the flaw in that one is the trigger was gritty and there isnt anything that could clean it up except a replacement of it's fire control parts in a detail strip. I sold it eventually, but not before putting something like 8000 rounds through it.
