My EMP was a great little gun that I just wasn't carrying. So I traded it for a brand new XDS, NIB, never fired, and cash, enough to buy a Benelli Nova tacticle with the ghost ring sights, and some doubble 00 buck .
It semed like a good idea seeing that I lacked a shotgun and had just picked up a shield in 40. So I went back to my favorite round, for carry, the 45, and a lighter weapon that carries just as well.
I thought it made the most sense, especially having 2 40's and no shotgun. I am done with the HD end of things now, with an AR, "HD shotgun" and 4 pistols that are from 9-45. sound like a well rounded collection for Home defense and a little target.
I wanted to get squared away prior to election time, as we don't know what if anything will come down the pike, and if there are riots, as mentioned in Ayoobs latest email from backwoods, a shotgun, or AR is the best gun for that job.
the email is under my post if you care to read Ayoobs thoughts and links to some experts thoughts on this.
You can find his live links on backwoods website, but it appears that some pro's in tactics feel we may get some rioting and civil disturbances if Obama loses.

Some folks seemed surprised to learn on this blog that there are rumbles of potential rioting following tomorrow’s election. Some, of course, aren’t surprised at all.
Highly respected police trainer Greg Ellifretz is aware of it. Read his take on possible post-election rioting, and the importance of preparation.
Sowell sees it as a real possibility too.
Jeffrey Kuhner explains where some of the concern is coming from, in the Washington Times, here.
Me? I’m hoping it’s just the Twitter equivalent of scumbags writing graffiti on the walls of society. But we all have to realize that it may be genuine “handwriting on the wall.”
We’ve had the discussion here before about why we shouldn’t ignore blips on the radar screen. My life, including forty years in the threat management field, has taught me that bad things are most likely to happen to those not prepared for them.
Vote wisely tomorrow. Stay safe. Hope along with me that rumors of post-election civil disturbance prove to be wrong…but be prepared in case they’re not.
