    So, you are walking down the street

    Move offline to create space / buy time, pepper spray in strong hand, fend with weak, yell something like "leave me alone!" escalate if needed, phone cops when leaving area if not.

    What is your primary carry pistol...Why?

    Primary is a P3AT, because I don't live in Bahgdad or Detroit, and carry other options. I'll be flexible if our local standard of living depreciates, though.

    the gypsey defence.

    Great info, Carl. Thanks for passing it on. I love sneaky bastage tricks like that. You must have done something right to have earned Mr. Varhidy's trust. Mongrel, I can relate, but please remember that when kids are taught to think for themselves they also learn to keep a low profile. Not...

    Have you ever bluffed to avoid a confrontation?

    RR is a tough act to follow, but you may get a kick out of this old story: One 'ponce a time some Army buddies and I were out walking around Taegu, S. Korea, when 3-4 drunk locals spilled out of a Soju bar, right into our path. Or theirs. We stopped short, exchanged looks, and figured out...

    Had to pull my 1911

    It seems like a lot of people want us to walk a fine line between politically correct (or attorney proof, or whatever your favorite flavor is) and doing whatever it takes to get through to the dummies who don't care what common decency or the law says, anyway. Pretty hard to figure all that out...

    Cold Steel Blades

    Cold Steel Blades

    I can't decide if Cold Steel is more popular with schlubs like me who actually use their knives to cut stuff, (big +1 for the 4" Voyager) or with the experts who like to complain about them. Either way, I'm sure we'd all be happy to find out about somebody else who sells a fraction of the...

    You carry a knife?

    I usually have an SAK Rambler with a micro light fob for sheeple friendly / office use. Kinda highlights the whole "tool" aspect. They really don't need to know what's in the other pocket(s), do they? Give yourself options.

    Should you let an intruder escape?

    Mr. D, any and all, if I may - at the risk of sounding preachy or like a badly written Burn Notice script, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the Onion-skin concept as it applies to my situation. Hope you can find something useful here, and please excuse the scattered format. First...

    Should you let an intruder escape?

    On the advice of Mr. Ayoob in his book The Truth About Self Protection, we have an onion-skin defense at our home which effectively screens out innocent mistakes by uninvited "guests". Anyone who gets through all of the layers (mostly passive but formidable) to gain entry would clearly mean to...

    Aluminum Frame Guns

    S&W 317, may be rare unobtanium but it acts like aluminum, being all light and tough and stuff. I'd hesitate to shoot much more than a .22 in one like it, though. .357 Mag must be brutal.

    .22 Bolt or autoloading

    Welcome! lots to learn here; good folks. Bolt first, teaches you to pick your shots. Then get a Marlin 60.

    If you had to choose a rifle and a handgun to go into a battle/armed conflict ?

    M1a, then I could pick up a few AKs Handgun - whatever's locally popular, prolly some sort of 9mm. Ideally a 1911 or XD in .45 ACP, but ammo availability and all that...

    "Tool" Guns

    Good analogy, OP! Sawzall lol (2 - another vote for the 870 and a Savage Mk II .22)
