I live in a completely different world, I don't even lock my house at night...

I grew up in a similar setting. No town within 30 miles was over 2000 people and nobody any any of them locked their doors. One day six men jumped a friend of mine, if they hadnt been interrupted by someone willing to do more then them he would have died. To this day he has trouble breathing from the way his nose and ribs healed. Since then I've never left the house unarmed in some fashion.

when I do, I will carry a revolver in .357 or more than likely some variation on a 1911.

My choices so far are a double action .357 by Ruger or a Wilson Combat 1911

Check if your state values Maine CCL if they do you can get it now with a qualifying course and an out of state permit. Thats what I'm doing.

If you have one iota of respect for the man, you will honor his wishes.

S&W Chief's Special .38 Stainless W/+P+. It packs a punch and will always fire! It's a great belly gun!

I'd just give them the money and cower. That way I go home.

no its not my grandfather that has the issue its this ruth girl that is assistant manager and she thinks she can make an example out of me because its my grandfathers store so she has been putting me thru the ringer on bs stuff and acting acting all kind and sweet to the other employees ive seen it before many times she thinks she has to be strict with me and all i ask if that she treats me like any other employee.

That won't always get you home. I saw a video recently where the man cooperated and they still pulled the trigger, more than once. The only thing that saved him was the gun was so cheap it wouldn't go off.

There was a story out of Florida yesterday.

A man at Church was a CCW. Another man was thinking about getting a license and wanted to see the carrier's gun. They went in a closet and the carrier took out his gun and removed the magazine. The gun went off and the bullet went through the wall and struck the Preacher's Daughter in the head. She is in critical condition if she is still alive today.

For this reason I chose a pistol with a magazine disconnect. Also for this reason I carry a pistol with a real safety, unlike a Glock.
