    This day and age, compliance does not mean you will survive. Especially considering if you are the ONLY witness that can put them in jail for years.

    Just because one doesn't feel threatened doesn't constitute any sort of obligation to forego protecting one's self.

    A great historical paradox is if you want peace you must prepare for war. Negotiating from a position of strength is ALWAYS a better option. I'd personally rather be well armed with the prayers of never having to use what I chose to arm myself with.

    If one waits until the enemy is at the gates before choosing to fortify one's castle, it's already too late.

    Not to mention add a lighter and your BrakeKleen becomes a flame-thrower.

    Normally I would carry my 1911 .45acp but she's having some finish issues that will take time to fix. In the next couple weeks I'm looking at picking up a Walther Creed in 9mm.

    I'm a trigger snob so believe me when I say that when I dry fired the Creed I stopped and stared at the thing in amazement for a few seconds. The trigger pull and the 399 pricetag are what really sold me on this plastic gun.
     
    BUMBACLADWAR and x1Heavy Thank this.

    S&W 380. Chambered and ready to go. Nice and light and comfortable in a lower back quick draw holster.
