I've recently begun to think about the possibility of carrying something with a lil more horsepower than a 9mm, possibly a Shockwave 12Ga type of gun or possibly an AR pistol, like a really small one that can conceal very nicely in a small inconspicuous bag, possibly a 7.5". Are there any other options outside of those two, rhetorical, I know there is but I know there are guys here who have come to this road long before me and have had plenty of time to think on it and I'm sure some of you guys have come up with pretty clever solutions as far as going about concealing them.
It's really disturbing, the idea of somebody heavily armed and having the advantage of surprise and advance knowledge storming into a place, keyed up and with no regard for human life, targeting places of worship, supermarkets, theaters, etc and being forced to react completely taken by surprise with very little time to even process what youre seeing let alone react to it.
I've recently decided to possibly re evaluate my carry choices or supplement them in some cases, some of the time. Not saying we should all live crippled with fear or that everybody ought to walk around strapped to the gills, just considering my regular activities and thinking in such an event, just having a lil pocket 9 makes me a lil more vulnerable than I care to be in certain places. In such an event, you're probably going to be dumbstruck for at least a few seconds while you try to make sense of what's going on unless youre trained to deal with that kind of stress and react quickly, and by then if you aren't already becoming past tense, it would be best to have basically anything besides all your common handgun cartridges, think churches or public gatherings, farmers markets, etc..... I'm thinking 12ga or 5.56 would be suited to this task and the best way to conceal it in public is? Any ideas guys?
Assume I already know that a well placed .380 or .22lr will do the job. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about facing down a murderer with a rifle and body count goals, what is the best thing to have in this scenario that can be concealed and drawn within a few seconds.
