My personal observations, experience, and recommendations are this:
UP GUN UNTIL 20 JAN 17! Buy whatever you will carry, can shoot accurately, and are comfortable with. Train with the ammo you shoot. Carry spare magazines. Practice the "grey man" concept of CCW. The Gibsmedats, leftist, commies, etc. are getting more and more dangerous, aggressive, and are emboldend by Obama/Lynch and the "FERGESON EFFECT".
Little Rock has it's Riverfest event this weekend. I wonder what the body count will be. Of course our liberal MSM will tell us of the "isolated" "minor" crime by "youths" and "teens" outside of the festivities.
There is a war going on in America. Wake up, upgun, and keep your head on a swivel.
Let me add:
Carry is not an occasional thing. It is not based on where you think you might need it. It is a way of life. IOW, you either carry or you don’t. It has to be a habit, like putting on your pants. You just do it.
The sheriffs detective who teaches the various classes I have taken (and will take) makes the above very clear.
