The world’s getting dicey - might want to carry something really useful.

Glock pocket pistol in my pocket in just normal areas. Glock 40 caliber in a shoulder bag in bad areas of which I rarely go unless necessary. 17 rounds of 40 caliber grief. I fire it often in practice. I hope I never fire it due to necessity. But I will if necessary.
