Ugh. No offense but I don't get the whole need to carry at all times thing.

The general concensus answer to that is something along the same line of thought as seat belts. There's no telling when you'll need them. (short of clairvoyance)

Indy,
The Ruger .22 is a good choice. I learned pistol shooting with my Grandfather using a Ruger "Standard", which is basically the predecessor of the MK line.

That's what I always figured. My thing is, if I am mugged at gunpoint, do folks really think the can get to their gun, and fire off a shot before their mugger?

So, what if you're out in the middle of nowhere (Sevierville, Tn) with your wife and are only taking some scenic photos of a lake and surrounding area when a beat up truck with 6 rough looking hillbillys pull up and stop and block what they think is your exit path? Also, in this hypothetical situation, imagine that they've all obviously been drinking. As the door opens, empty beer cans and bottles spill out as they're telling you what they're going to do to the both of you. Do you just calmly talk them out of what they have in mind? Maybe, you start a comedy routine that get them rolling on the ground in laughter. What do you do, Nerd?

I know many that carry or have one handy. I've heard or seen more dumb uses of those guns than I've heard or seen it being used to protect them. I respect anyone that carries firearms with safety but too many don't.

I hate it when people use logic and reason to argue against me. Damn you.

My father shot a .38 S&W "Chef Special" when he was in the FBI in the 60/70s. Might want to take a look at that. We still have it
