Interesting source perspective but way too much information. However, I agree with his conclusions on the shotgun, rifle, and pistol priority of damage potential. The .357s are too loud to consider for unprotected hearing in self defense situations. Bigger is better is not a novel concept.
If I had to carry one pistol in a holster outside of the pocket it would be my Glock 36.
Posted this initially in the wrong thread. :-[
Wow. That is a lot.
I see several seeming logic problems, but what's the bottom line? He prefers .45 (presumably) ACP.
Fair enough, can't find fault with that.
You can carry an extra mag in a belt clip and not in your pocket. If you carry a Glock 36 on or inside your belt why not carry an extra mag. However, 6+1 will probably be enough with a Glock 36 and, if not, you're in over your head anyway.
In all honesty I suggest you make a decision and stop screwing around with it.
As I said earlier, to each his own, but a .32 is a very lightweight caliber for self defense; better than nothing. If you just love a Seecamp that is a different matter.
Yeah, some of these outfits in the middle east produce very high quality digital information bulletins.
I mean sharp! Like, if you get People Magazine online, or the like.
They have been encouraging their followers and marginal sympathizers to attack military and law enforcement personnel and their families worldwide, most especially in Europe and North America. -Stuff like, "If you don't have explosives, shoot them. If you don't have a gun, stab them, or smash their heads with a rock. Run them down with your car."
I've read these publications.
Last week a couple of Canadian military members were run down with a car. A baby in Jerusalem was killed the same way.
Yesterday those uniformed NYPD officers were attacked on the street in broad daylight by a guy with a hand axe.
Canada has apparently directed their military personnel not to wear their uniforms off duty. I've received updates about public behavior (-as in, maybe I shouldn't eat lunch in public, etc.)
Just coming and going around town, things may have changed. A simple robbery is just one part of the equation these days.

The hatchet attack on the uniformed NYPD officers by that idiot Islamic extremist shows once again the ever present dangers that you and your colleagues face each day in your service to our society. My hat is off to you.

... Eric Hoffer. Sounds like an interesting guy, and these are certainly "interesting times."
Even still, often I feel like it's "same circus, different clowns." It was just about two years ago, in the same neighborhood as the hatchet guy, we had a nut walk up out of the blue and stab one of our guys in the face. Our guy handled it, DRT, but will never see out of that eye again.
No agenda, no organization, just spontaneously targeted a uniform. The more things change... :-\

Well said, Douglas, but New York is not the only state that is in a sad state of affairs and it starts in the District of Corruption.

Yes but still, we often talk about finding a nice place, like we have here, on the river in Chattanooga or Knoxville so that we might be left alone in our later years. 8)
