[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 761879, member: 9"] I'm with HOSS on this one. My wife and I both carry...and, we both have larger calibers! We also practice monthly. Both of us are small and need an equalizer should the need arise, especially when wife travels alone on business. We are mentally prepared... The best "safety" on a gun is MENTAL and SITUATIONAL AWARENESS! A "bad guy" should never get closer than 15 or 20 feet from you...yes, there are "signs" to watch for. Also, unless your job requires you to be in dangerous or marginal environments, stay away from them! Keep vehicle doors locked when in vehicle. In our area, there are probably 15 or 20 arrests made each month for drugs, break & entering, etc. On a rare occasion one of the "10 Most Wanted" is thought to be around or coming through the Texas Panhandle region. We also have coyotes, skunks, badgers around here...one or two counties over...wild feral hogs. And, on a rare occasion a deer will get caught in and severely injured on a barbwire fence... In conclusion, "West Texas" is Farm & Ranch country...probably at least 2 guns for each resident around here... ;-) [/QUOTE]
