But a similar thing could happen to a normal guy

The moral of the story is never go anywhere alone and maintain situational awareness

Moral of the story don't go to a gas station in the hood at night

Thats common sense.

I also have a 12 gauge in my car. 18.5" barrel with a pistol grip and 6 rounds of 00 buck. My ARs sometimes make an appearance in my vehicle but its not that hairy just yet.

Pretty sure my state dosnt allow you to have a fire arm in the vehicle unless it's stored away

And can't be easily accessed

Thats why things are so hairy in your neck of the woods. Gun control breeds violence.

An armed population is a polite population

Only ones armed here the criminals

The only ones not armed here are the criminals, lol. Move out here. You'll like it

There isn't much gun control here though

Its more frowned upon

Allot of business don't allow it

Thats what I carry every day. Cheap enough I can break it, lose it, etc and not drain my account yet accurate and reliable enough to serve as an EDC.

Its too big to conceal carry not much ammo in one mag

You dont need much ammo if you shoot straight. Mag changes happen so fast that capacity doesnt really matter. I have a 14 + 1 SD40 and it needs all 15 rounds just to hit something.

I have a shoulder holster for this and it does quite well with a jacket

In the heat of the moment you can panic and miss

Happens to anyone

Which is why you have multiple rounds in a mag

Main reason why I don't carry revolvers low ammo

Even though they are more reliable

bruh 1911?

beautiful

Yup. Spent about 500 rounds through it in the last 2 months. 3-4" groupings at 50 yards. Got it for less than 400 bucks. Im buying another one next week and theres an officer's model in a local shop near me that I might also buy for concealed purposes.

If you want a good conceal carry gun get a glock 26

I have a taurus G2S

Very easy to conceal carry even if you have to tuck your pants in

I want a .45 compact rather than the 9mm compact I sport now. Ill probably give it to this chick Ive been seeing and go with the compact 1911.

Glock 27 has more punch

Same size

A slug moving through a 3.5" barrel will give same performance regardless of gun

I have a 3.5" barrel on my .40 too.

Its good enough for most circumstances

If your fighting longer ranges need a long gun

Nothing beats a hollowpoint from anything that fires.

Thats why I love my 1911. I can engage 12" targets at 100 yards. My AR can hit a man in the chest up to 500 reliably, and my shotgun can keep the coons from eating my damned chickens.

With iron sights?

Yup. I was trained to hit 300 meters with iron in basic.

That's 300 though
