Ok ,,,,, just wanted to throw something out there for thought. I too am a senior citizen and though I carry CHL I am limited on how fast my pistol can be brought up and used. So I have purchased a switchblade knife, actually several , which is now legal in our state as of last year. I carry it on my chest in a vest. I have practiced with opening it and without doubt it is half the time to open than to draw my chl carry. You might want to check your knife laws and see if you can carry one of the many new and finely made switchblades so as to equal the field. The knife is only my first quick line of defense and then the pistol if I have the time. I have practiced and the knife drawn is faster by far. Hopefully I will be backing up and trying to defuse the situation , giving me more time to draw my weapon also.

By the way ,,, I too do not go to bars or the bad parts of town , but as in my other post on use of force from personal experience , you never know when a situation can arise. Bad guys are everywhere and it is up to each one of us to learn our defense capabilities and to practice and utilize whatever we can. Just a thought for some of our seniors of which I am glad I am also one of and thankful that I have been able to protect myself with force , but not having to use deadly force . This world has gotten more deadly, not safer and us seniors are the preferred targets. Yes , I may be disabled but I am not totally defenseless. My safety is my choice, not someone elses.
