I would recommend an arquebus over either....you just can't beat that uber reliable matchlock for shear "don't screw with me"attitude....easy to conceal as well:neener: with the breasplate,conquistador helmet and falchion.

Thats what we need!! A CCW course for "The Art of the Defensive Falchion"...or halperd,or war hammer...Hey,we could be onto something here!!
my prediction:Renaissance era clothingSwiss Guard style shall be the new Tactical fashion.Maybe we can sell the concept to 511.

Carry whichever one you shoot best, of course. Shot placement is key.:neener:

You really need two Desert Eagles to feel safe, preferably gold-plated.
That said, the Jetfire is the perfect nostril gun.

I'll second you that. If i only need a little CCW piece then I carry this:

With small and handy rounds (and it penetrates body armor too:evil: )

If I feel threatened, say marauding BG-s in neighbourhood, then it's time to move up to heavier punch:

If to be serious, then you need 2 DE-s, both chromed or golden, so you can use them Chow Yun Fat style:uhoh:

Well from my research found in the 1950's the Switch Blade was the gangbangers weapon of choice. In fact or streets were running in blood from their easy advailabily and lack of control. I mean Chief's of Police from all over country were calling for their band a long with conserined citizens. It took years but DC findly held hearings and out lawed them. People today will drop just as fast from a switch as they did in 50's In fact the sight of one will send most BG running For the Switchblade is the weapon of a pro. A Man or a women not to be messed with. So leave those silly guns that run out of bullets, in the store and get a good Switchblade .

Well, considering you can carry a concealed .25 Berretta around in nothing more that a bathing suit - I'd say the .25 is the best CCW choice.
Unless your normal attire is that like of "Bozo the Clown" (or I suppose some baggy pants "Rapper") - a .50 caliber "anything" is going to be a hassel to cover up.

You definitly need the Desert Eagle with 17 extra magazines and a Berreta in every pocket and a M4 strapped to your back while wearing a full EOD suit. Then you need four F-16s flying sorties over you incase the BG takes cover.:evil:

i just tie a twelve pounder to my belt, small of the back, of course and i tow that around. i keep it loaded with canister but i have a couple solid shot reloads for penetration. that's no problem in az 'cause we have open carry and all but when i travel to a state that honors my ccw, i throw a tarp over it.
btw, anyone know where i can get a rail handguard and a bayonet mount for it?

Sheesh! F-16s? Well only if you are expecting enemy air attack, if not a pair of A-10s with good pilots carry more and the 30mm DPU will penetrate most cover.
They do need better camo for concealed carry however.

ANY gun is going to be a 90% deterrant. Everything from the 25acp up to the Atomic Cannon. The fact is that most encounters end without a shot being fired. I'd say about 99% of encounters end the moment a gun is introduced. Maybe in 10% of those cases, the assailant will be too stupid, drugged, or brave to back off. Who knows, maybe they've read the retarded posts about the 25acp bullets bouncing off of people. Whatever the reason. When you have to shoot, if you assume the 25 will stop the assialant 30% of a time (about the same statistic as a cap gun), then that makes the 25 about 93% effective while the 357 Magnum might be 99% effective.

Wimps, all of you! I just strap Claymores to my chest and back, with pull-tab igniters in my pockets. That way, if anyone gives me trouble, I just put my hands in my pockets, as if to get out my money, and pull the tab, blowing them away. Of course, the back-blast tends to remove all of my body hair at the same time, but this is cheaper than a wax removal job, so I win anyway.

The A-10 can deliver a 500 lb bomb casing loaded with concrete and mounting the LGB seeker and control package, hitting at about mach 1.5 it can destroy a pin point target without as much collateral damage as HE.

Who wonders, if you take an RPV in orbit 3 miles over your head, packing KE bombs, use a laser target designator and a data link, does it constitute a concealed weapon. Response time might be a trifle long. Nothing is perfect. :cuss:

I don't understand. Why, those guns are completetly opposite. You should pick a caliber that's in between like a 9mm or if you're smart, a .45, because after all, 9mm doesn't have the stopping power. Besides everyone knows that the Desert Eagle should only be used as a bug.:neener:
