I'd wondered about carrying such a small gun as a primary self-defense tool and said so in an article. A reader replied. While I won't identify him, I'm going to post his comment here – noting that...

3:00pm Thursday, May 28, 2015

When I got into the shooting I generally thought that people just went to the range once in a while for practice. The more I got involved in Second Amendment issues I found defensive shooting leagues were really big and seemed to be growing leaps and bounds as more people obtained their concealed handgun licenses. This made sense, because in those leagues a participant is given a possible...

"You what?" My friend looked at me with a mixture of shock and admiration. We were having lunch at one of my favorite restaurants while I shared with her my secret.

I realized that although she had a car...
