When on the job, on duty or off, I always carried one or more handgun, ranging from 4" N frames and Colt Commanders down to Colt Agents and Cobras. Since I pulled the pin I have consciously adopted a self-defense mindset rather than intervention and I have happily carried a J and a speed strip.

Since our local punks have taken to traveling in groups of 3 or more and shooting even the victims who follow the "don't resist" advice the media gives, as of this morning a Shield and an extra magazine go out the door with me. I know the 3 shot statistic, but I'd rather not be a statistic.
