My Ladyfriend and I walk inside at the nearby, massive York Galleria Mall, on inclement days — otherwise outside at the nearby parks — and I always carry my Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP “Eclipse Target II”, with 230gr HP ammo, and 2 extra mags. Sad that it’s come to this, but I have CCW’d since getting robbed and shot in FL 7/14/75.
Compliments to your fine weapon. Here, an inexpensive, but extremely reliable modified (stainless recoil assy & striker guide plus night sights) Taurus GX4 which is extremely accurate. The SKS of handguns. And, pity the fool who allows it to be brought into action while trying to do something worthy of captial punishment expedited in advance by Texas law. I do avoid any place where risk is augmented by the presence of those with a vacuum of values.
What do you carry that in?
