What do you carry?
D. Tiller:
I'm with Pappy and El D. I carry either 9mm makarav around town and a Kimber .45 on long trips.
chamookman:
I have a permit to carry, and do so every day. Either a Wilson 1911 or a S&W 325 pd - yeah, I like the .45ACP. I live in the country, and in this day and age there are WAY too many home invations, plus in the City I work in (Flint, MI) has the highest muder rate in the Country :o! I pray evry day that I NEVER have to use a gun, but By God I wouldn't hesitate if need be. Bob

I live in a really quiet, very rural area where many people never even lock their doors. But a few years ago, two guys on a killing spree came off the interstate and slaughtered five people just up the road from me, including an 11-year old girl that they shot in the face with a shotgun after kicking the bathroom door down. One of my neighbors captured one of the guys at gunpoint after he found him hiding in his yard waiting for a chance to kill him and take his truck. If hadn't had a gun handy, he would likely be dead. You never know what's going to happen, no matter where you live. I prefer to be equipped to deal with it if it happens. I'm armed everywhere that I can be.

Im with Pat on this one. I worked as a police officer for a number of years and respect will get you a lot farther than a gun. The probability of needing a gun increases significantly if you carry one. 8)

I hear you Steve...ain't no place safe any more....My Father ....a lifetime Peace Officer....told me a long time ago...and I still believe him....if you depend on the Police to protect you in a life and death situation.....you are going to be dead before they get there....so I must disagree....anyone that believes they can live safely in todays society without knowing how to use deadly force ....is living in a Fairy Tale World.....sorry but with I have been through and seen. with my own eyes....this is my honest feeling on the subject
