What do you carry?

Keep a slug filled 20 ga for home. The way I shoot a bow, I would be in trouble using that for protection. ;D

Bevan,
That's a very naive mindset. Not trying to rag on you my friend but it's true. Hundreds of people went to a Safeway Grocery store the morning of January 8th in my town this year probably thinking the same thing you are. But 6 people were killed and 13 injured. I wish I could have been there, maybe I could have done something. The one armed person in the vicinity was inside the store and didn't make it out until the shooter had already emptied his magazine. While it's not healthy to be paranoid and think everyone is a threat it's also dangerous to think that it could never happen. A bit cliched but true, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I couldn't live with myself if I was ever in the situation that happened on January 8th and I wasn't armed.
That being said, I agree with what Jamie said on the other thread, If you aren't willing or capable of using a firearm then you shouldn't carry.

NTD, don't think you are trying to rag on me. I know that there are bad thing/people out there and that things like you describe happen. I guess I just try to believe it won't happen around me. Saw enough of that kind of thing in the military.

A Taurus 44 mag. revolver with the 8 3/8" barrel resides in my car. I hope I never have to use it. If I do, maybe just the sight of that hand cannon will be enough.
It's also a mighty fine deer killin' gun ;D

I carry a Bersa Thunder .380 in a IWB holster. It is a pretty good gun with no FTE or FTF's after around 300 rounds. Easier to carry concealed than my bigger guns too and VERY accurate for it's size. Hardly any felt recoil either. I am so far impressed with the quality of this gun. I got it for Christmas. :)
