Who has a CC permit?

I don't wish to shoot anyone. I just want a gun for protection. Puds, I have shot a glock before a few times. I like big boy guns.

That's all fine and dandy, but in a panic are you going to remember to chamber a round first, or remove the safety if one's already chambered? Out and about shooting relaxed is one thing, in a life or death situation most people would fail to fire the gun in time.

There are plenty of revolvers that are big boy guns. Honestly a revolver is the way to go as far as handguns for personal protection. If you need to use it you WILL be in a state of panic. With a semi-auto you might forget to disengage the safety, forget to chamber a round, it could jam, etc. A revolver is better as it's just point and squeeze the trigger.

I have a .38 snub nose revolver. I don't consider it to be a "sissy" gun by any means although any woman would be capable of shooting it. It's reliable and easy to shoot.

Of course for home protection, nothing is better than a shotgun provided there are a few feet between you and your target.

phaggete, I had to answer the phone in the middle of my reply.

You don't strike me as the type that should be carrying a gun. Mentally I just don't think you're able to connect all the dots upstairs.

Thank you for the online psychiatric evaluation. Although I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder due to a baseball hitting me in the testicles, my mental health has been improving greatly. I've gotten a lot better just from having my new nephew.

Good point. I hate saying this to you... you are right.

That's my point, I thought he was.

just carry a glock with a round always chambered.
Problem solved.
