How many of our relatives and close friends in decades past carried firearms for personal protection that we look down on and scoff at today ? I know for one, my grandparents at various intervals carried
25's and .32's, in a variety of configurations, from pocket automatics, to derringers. The local "Old Men"... you didn't mess with, because it was well known that they carried either some variety of Colt or Browning .25 or .32, or failing that, the rare PPK or Smith/Colt snub revolver. One even carried a full barreled Peacemaker behind the bib of his overalls.
In short, how many of us got to be here today because of our kin carrying protection that we scorn today ???
*I'm limiting this to cartridge firearms, black powder need not apply, unless it wants to.
