    BUT The Second Amendment states I don't need one


    So why the hell do I have one (rhetorical of course)

  2. Do you guys take a gun with you all the time. Seems like a big inconvenience.

  3. In my state we have open carry laws to anyone that can legally own a firearm.

    I absolutely agree. There are 3 -4 states that have recognized this. If I'm not mistaken GA is considering eliminating the permit requirement.

    Virtually all the time. How much of an inconvenience would depend on how large the weapon, what you're wearing and to some extent where you're going. But generally not really. There was a time when I considered carrying a pager or cell phone an inconvenience.

    Never leave home without it

    And like Lucrum said – its like carrying a pager or cell phone – you get use to it

    A corrupt attorney? Who could have guessed?
    He missed his calling, he should have been a career politician.

  9. I haven't read the 43 pages so with that said... for your wife, simplicity and reliability are paramount and that means a revolver. Even when a semi AND its magazines are well maintained, a malfunction is still more likely... are you comfortable with your wife trying to clear any of these malfunctions under pressure while thugs are in your house? http://www.havegunwilltraincolorado.com/handgun-malfunctions/

    I recommend a Smith and Wesson Model 627 with a 4" barrel. It's a stainless steel large frame .357 Magnum that holds eight rounds yet is surprisingly comfortable, even in the hands of a smaller woman. The frame size helps blunt the recoil, and you can start her out with .38s which will further reduce it until she gains confidence and experience.

  10. When i used t o live in US, i used carry S&W small frame 38 revolver in a slider clip on holster inside my belt .No problem at all.
    If you want to carry Colt Python, that would require shoulder harness, jacket etc. Definitely inconvenient .
