Well, I have a 12 gauge riot gun (Rem Model 870), an FAL FN .308, a couple of M1 Garands, etc. I have some guns which fire the 7.62 X 39 mm round, and a MAK 90 that fires the .223 as well. I really collect military surplus rifles, its a hobby. I think that I am well armed if it should be necessary to defend home and hearth. I have a pipsqueek Baretta Tomcat .32 ACP loaded with silvertips that I shove into my pants pocket when I go out shopping or walking. I could carry a larger pistol/revolver if I wished, but I like the easy carry of the Baretta Tomcat.

I think that the .223 round would be especially good for my wife.

And I should do nothing to interfere with your way!...an armed society is a polite society.

I've seen many pistoleros who could do things with a .32 or even a .25, that others could not accomplish with a .40 or .45. It all depends on mission requirements, and the individual's willingness to maximize one's proficiency with the weapon.

Personally, I carry a large enough frame that I can conceal my .40 Colt, even in casual clothes. In a sports jacket, I can pack my Desert Eagle in a custom shoulder holster. These are the weapons I train and practice with habitually, because I know they are the ones I'll have with me if needed. I never answer the door without one of the two tucked in the back of my belt.
