I’m not as prepared for emergencies as I should be, and there was a time I wanted to be ready for anything. Not just defense against lethal attacks, but situations such as a heart attack, anaphylactic shock, high-rise office fires, legal and medical questions, people needing directions, kids with skinned knees — everything. It just got to be too much trouble. I’d be going to the mall to browse the magazine racks and I’d have to kit up with three guns, four flashlights, five knives, defibrillator, epi pen, rope, carabiners, medicinal brandy, Black’s Legal Directory, Physician’s Desk Reference, city and state maps, matches, bandages, fighting boots — I was always forgetting something. Now I just stay home and read magazines online. If I must leave the fortress, I mean condo, to walk 50 yards to the mailbox I live dangerously by wearing just one knife and one gun, usually an S&W J-frame.

How do I carry the revolver? Most often in a pants pocket, but I do use a holster. Otherwise I end up with lint in the gun barrel and holes in the pocket. A good pocket holster makes carry more comfortable, protects gun and clothes, flattens the gun’s profile to make it virtually undetectable, keeps it in position, and remains behind when the gun is drawn. At the moment I have two (for those two-gun days).
