I no longer carry mace, knives or other weaponry. I do have a mace in my car console, and keep several scattered around the house. But with three inquisitive (and sometimes disobedient) kids around, I have all (fighting) knives and guns under lock and key. The mace may hurt like hell, but they probably won't "borrow" it and it won't kill them.

You guys are painting a very scary picture of America. I'm glad I live where I do, in a different reality. My most dangerous weapon is my car. My most offensive weapon is the non-jesus fish on the back of it.

My thought was,"omg that's so fricking Americana"

You probably have the soccer mom van too.

oh I do -red windstar with dints and scrapes and swim team stickers.

yep all American mom.

Now you just need fly a British flag from your antenna to mix it up and make people do a double take.

not round here. plenty of brit flags on cars. and windstars have antennas built into the windows.

...did I mention the vanity plate? :lol:

LOL

Good. My equilibrium is back. It wouldn't have been natural if you didn't . :lol:

So you gun toters are all carrying concealed, or is the holster visible on your hip. If you are carrying concealed, I thought it was difficult to get a permit for concealed. If so, how were you able to get the pemit?

I like to travel light on a daily basis, until recently I didn't even carry a wallet, just some folding money, my DL, and a debit card. Only had keys if I was driving. No house keys around here. No one uses them. That's starting to change...

how do you like that p32 wolf? I've been thinking about picking up a little p38t but I'm concerned about some of the reliability issues I've heard about. The Kahr is about the same size but will rip mrs L's damn hand off if she fired it.

I (and Mrs L) carry concealed legally. We went through the classes and the FBI didn't spit us out so we're good to go. I don't personally like to open carry because I'd rather people not know I have it before they see the muzzle flash.
