[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1025559, member: 684"] I found this post over on the [B][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Blue"]Blue[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] forum. I think it sums it up. ;) I carry a gun, but not because I think I need one. If I need a gun to go someplace, I'll stay home instead. Assuming you get some practice, it's hard to imagine a survivable self-defense scenario in which a J-frame won't suffice. I'm aware that some guys feel the need for 17 rounds of 9mm, but can't imagine what's going through their minds. The OK Corral, maybe? What's the army of assailants you're defending yourself from, doing while you're pulling the trigger and spraying bullets? Painting those silly silhouette targets on themselves? Grow up. I usually pocket carry my sub-12oz 340PD or 360PD, and don't feel at all vulnerable. I don't even carry a reload, figuring if I have that much time I'd spend it better running as fast as my feet will take me. The only part of his statement I disagree with is the reload part. I [B]DO[/B] carry a reload...at least one for every gun I carry. But then again...he's even right about that. [I]From a civilian's point of view.[/I] If you have time to reload, why not spend that time buildin' some yunder in yer ass and gettin' some gone?! :ugh2: But...the cop in me says carry a reload...reload empty revolver/pistol...call 911 and hold bad guy until 5-0 arrives. :police2: I don't suggest this practice to everyday Joes, however. :disappoin Get to safety...[B]away from bad guy(s)[/B] and call 911. Dead heroes make lousy witnesses. [/QUOTE]
