Gun Control & RKBA

I lived in the same home for 35 years. It was a great neighborhood when I bought the house but over the years it changed. When you see cops running down your street in daytime with guns drawn or a drive by shooting happens two houses down the street from yours, you may decide to carry a weapon for self defense. Fortunately I never had a situation where it I was attacked.

Now that I have retired and moved to a more rural area I still have a carry permit and carry. Perhaps old habits die hard or perhaps I realize that there is violence and crime even in rural areas.

If my carry weapon was a fairly large pistol and required a belt holster it would probably spend almost all of its time in a safe. However I carry a 5 round snub nosed revolver that is small and light. On the way out the door I just grab it and it’s pocket holster, slide both into my pocket and head out the door.
