Let me think about this for a while ... fight a BS brandishing charge or stay alive ... that's a tough one ... I'm gonna go for "stay alive". That's why God created lawyers.
Also, do you think the slug who tried to rob this guy is going to file a brandishing charge? What's he going to do - call a cop?

Perp would probably NOT file a report. Unfortunately some state laws are unjust. I agree with your statements. It's making the right decision for the event.

Now wait a minute ...
I'm looking at your signaure map. How did you get Hawaii on your RV map?

That's a long drive, not to mention you have to go really fast to keep the 5th-wheeler afloat!

If we have been there it goes on the map. I could put on Japan, Mexico, Granada, Dominica, St Thomas, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Jamaca. But that is too much

On a Dark parking lot somewhere in California one night, a guy approached the pickup while we were pulled over looking at a map and ask me to give him all my money, I just put the barrel of my .38 on the window ledge and said, I don't think so. He replied what are you going to hurt with that little pop gun? I replied it's not the size of the slug you should worry about, but where I'm going to put it should really concern you a lot! He turned and ran away. Most times you aren't required to pull the trigger, sometimes its all about how you react and what you say. Thank God for that!!!

The idea is NOT to fire your weapon, except in practice, and I assume that all that carry have fired their weapon there. Peace through strength!!!!! They do not call the Colt 45 "The Peacemaker" for no reason at all.

Download the forms from the canadian firearms commission, pay the $25.00, and don't tell them it's to protect yourself from bears! Canadians love their bears...

A little hard to conceal, at least for me. Takes it out of the realm of "concealed weapons".
There is a lesson for those looking for a "concealed" and practical weapon to carry. A .44 Mag of that style besides being hard to conceal for most people, including most women has such a violent recoil that you will probably get one accurate shot before recoil makes it near impossible to recover before being jumped or shot several times by the perp. That is why, while Dirty Harry carried one, most law enforcement did not.

LOL, I was focusing on the term "peacemaker" and not necessarily the gun, personally I prefer a shotgun, but in the handgun arena, I use a Kimber 1911 in 40SW. Also a design over 100 years old, but seriously effective and very reliable.

I never said concealed. Sounds like you never shot one very much if you can only get off one accurate shot. Besides 1 accurate shot will usually stop the problem.

In Texas if you have a concealed carry permit, you can open carry. If I carried on my person it would be open carry, and the 1911 is easy to open carry, and somewhat easy to carry concealed if you have the right holster. As far as loaded shotguns are concerned, I keep it on the floor board behind the drivers seat for easy access, then I move it to my rig when I set up. I prefer the shotgun because it is mostly legal in all 50 states (in one condition or another). Nothing says "hello" like a 1911. or a 12 ga.
A shotgun is even harder to conceal.
