There was a new poster in the CCW forum ( aretired cop) a few weeks ago that got caught in an armed robbery with his family on the floor of a restaraunt around him, including his two year old grandson, and his only weapon was a .22. He vowed never to be in that position again.
Flop-shank,
Great point...

So, when working I’m always armed with a defensive sidearm. Something in .45 and a bug that uses like ammo & magazines. Also, a long gun of some sort (preferably a rifle) with a few extra cartridges (a hundred or two).

At home or on the ranch it’ll be a heavy revolver and a rifle of convenience in the truck or saddle scabbard.

For Sundays socials or BBQs, and family outtings a suitable caliber (read something that starts with a .4x and not short & weak) to put a stopping on most unseen problem critters that could pop-up, be it man or beast.

But, that's just me talkin' here...

Su Amigo,
Dave
