[QUOTE="Free Trapper, post: 3116863, member: 26381"] Tony, You make a good point. A 22 derringer in your pocket beats the heck out of the 44 mag you left at home. I always keep a 2 1/2 " 44 mag (loaded with 44 specials, my favorite pistol round) in the glove box of my truck. When I concealed carry, its a 3 1/2 " model 29 44 mag (again with specials) in my front jeans pocket. I'm a large fellow and can carry that off without imprinting. I'm a devotee of large heavy projectiles at moderate velocities. I have lost the ability to rationally debate the 45 vs 9mm thingie, but I sure wouldn't want to get shot with a 9. Call me what you like, but I just don't want to feel I need to carry every time I go out the front door. I haven't fired a shot in anger in over 45 years, and prey to God I never have to again. I am fortunate to live in a very peaceful very rural area. If I lived in the city, the rules would certainly change. I do keep a Ruger 22 wheelgun in the glove box of my side by side 4 wheeler loaded with 3 hollow points and 3 shot shells for poisionous snakes and field rats around the homestead. Ok, the better half just walked past me wearing only a bath robe saying she was heading for the hot tub and being able to resist anything but temptation, I'm going to join her.... Looks like the poll is running about 94 % concealed....interesting. [/QUOTE]
