WISDOM--- Yes, I carry a handgun in my right-rear pants pocket everyday. In case I'm ever robbed, I'll just say-- "Don't shoot, I'm just gonna' reach for my wallet." Then it's surprize time on him. I practice a mock scenario daily so I'm always trained and prepared should this ever happen to me.

My daily carry gun is an AMT Back-Up in .380 caliber, fully loaded with Black-Talon ammunition. The .380 caliber is essentially the same as a 9mm, except with a short stubby casing. The .380 caliber is truly a manstopper at close range. However, the .380 caliber is the very smallest caliber I would ever consider to carry for personal protection. The AMT .380 Back-Up is extremely compact and undetectable in my rear pants pocket, even when wearing a tucked-in shirt and no jacket. People only see a slight buldge in my rear pants pocket and naturally assume it's a fat wallet.

If I was ever going to replace it with an alternate weapon; it would be the Para-Ordnance "Wart Hog" sub-compact .45 ACP. This is the world's smallest .45 ACP with a high capacity magazine which is double-staggered. What I like about the .45 ACP round is that it makes a big hole going in, and a bigger hole going out!!! Personally; I like very big calibers in very small packages with very high capacity, and the Para-Ordnance "Wart Hog" .45 ACP sub-compact meets that criteria unlike any other handgun in the world, period.

The other self defense weapon I carry is the Kimber - Guardian Angel Pepper Blaster. This is a super lightweight Pepper Spray Blaster that clips to your trouser belt and shoots Pepper Spray out at over 90 MPH with a two-shot capacity.

I own a Tavern, and have had to use it once already on an unruly bar patron who got outta' hand. He was 6'4" and 260 lbs. It dropped him like a sack of potatoes to the floor, totally rendering him harmless as he whimpered and screamed "I can't see, I can't see!!!" My bouncer's merely picked him up and guided him out the front door like a blind man where he lied in the middle of the parking lot crying and covering his eyes. Priceless.

The other weapon I use in my Tavern is a Police Model M-26 Taser with bright yellow striping and built-in Laser Sight. Over the past 10 years I've Tasered a total of 6 people for various disturbances. 100% success rating, regardless of physical build. A very effective, and extremely intimidating weapon; especially with the bright red Laser Sight activated in a dark dim-lit tavern environment. The sheer sight of it will immediately calm down an unruly tavern crowd in a matter of seconds. However, the Taser is the exact same size as a full-sized Glock handgun and just way too big to carry, so it remains behind the bar counter until absolutely needed. That's why the Kimber - Guardian Angel Pepper Blaster is my #1 choice for a non-lethal weapon to carry daily on my trouser belt.

I'm so impressed with the Kimber - Guardian Angel, that I now carry two(2) units; one belt-clipped on each hip (left & right) like "Billy The Kid", giving me a total of four(4) Pepper Blaster Shots. Most people think it's some sort of pager or blackberry when clipped to the trouser belt. This item is available from CABELA's for only about $40 each and is very, very wicked. Small, lightweight, and extremely effective while being a non-lethal weapon. Highly recommended, and perfect for both men & women.

Thus, between my twin Kimber - Guardian Angel's on each hip and my AMT .380 Back-Up with Black Talon's in my rear pants pocket; I'm totally armed to the teeth and nobody knows the wiser. I always wear a tucked-in shirt without a jacket and cover-up nothing. Riff Raff
