Law and Order in the Crosshairs

Post by skipper »

Seems like peace is being threatened all over the country. Some states are actively rewriting what is and isn't acceptable. Wherever you look, there's unrest. Is Civil War inevitable = on the horizon?? How would that shape the future of America? Let's not go off the deep end with rhetorical comments however, I don't leave the house without my sidearm anymore. Even that liberty is questionable nowadays.

I haven't left the house without a PDW on me since 1968 when I returned to The World. And that world is even more dangerous now than 60 years ago.

If I have pants on, I'm armed, period.

In all those intervening years, I've been a 1911 .45ACP guy. But since the advent of much better 9mm self-defense ammunition, many times I'm armed with my Wilson Combat double-stack SFX9 carried in my Milt Sparks VM2 IWB rig. The Wilson will take up to 15+1 and is thinner, lighter and more compact than any of my carry 3" Kimber 1911's which have been my daily carry for decades.

And thanks to ole Slow Joe letting in countless questionable mutts into our country, it's more dangerous now than ever. I'm more concerned with them than any chance of 'civil war'. I seldom go to cities of any size, as there is where civil unrest is prevelent. Avoid cities, live and travel safe.

I try to be optimistic but I'm realist too and my hunch is it will get worse before it gets better and like RIO pointed out, I try my best to stay out of large cities because thats where it starts out from.
