for Self Protection.

That's what I ankle-carried for 24 years. A S&W model 37 (alloy). Never sure I had it with me! Five shots—where most confrontations are settled with three. (Though I had one confrontation where I wished I had eighteen). Then-Florida State Attorney Robert Rubin probably wished I'd had 18 also, as he later was a victim of the same Home-Invasion Robbery as my neighbor's.

“Wheel Guns are the Only one to carry
for Self Protection.”

I’ve been evaluating my carry with this new development. I’m not a fan of cross-draw, but I am a fan of making the revolver my vehicular defense device. With a daughter in the back, the controlled pressure expansions and non-ejecting brass make it a better choice near my daughter. Also, the simpler DAO/exposed hammer make the status of the weapons easier to comprehend in a stressful situation. I can re-holster it or rest it on the ground, seat, console or whatever without de-cocking it.

I mean, ideally a sawed off double barrel is the best for vehicular operations, IMO.. but nothing says “I’m a good guy protecting my family, you, your family and all of us” like a classy revolver in a leather holster.

The P30 looks like I’m about to fight aliens. The Revolver looks like a gentleman on the town.

But on a sidenote I’m totally tired of making my gun and carry decisions based on what liberals demand I do so as to not to scare the little sh!ts. I’m tired of them making my decisions for me as to how, when and what I choose to carry.
