I insist on carring a glock #20 10MM and the wife carries a S&W 38 VERTUALLY EVERYWHERE,ALL THE TIME....you might want to think thru the concequences of being un -armed ,now you don,t necessarily need a gun, but at least carry a large easy to access pocket knife! you probably found out that you can carry for years without it being necessary, but like a spare tire or a fire extinguisher, once you need it you need it easily accessed and in perfect working condition, and like you found out, failure to have instant access can have a big down side!
ONE of my neighbors carries like I do, but he is (OLD SCHOOL) and carries a stainless gvt 45 ACP,
a few years ago a guy pretending to be a lost pizza delivery guy, ... tried to do a home invasion , pushing his way into the home with a 22 pistol, my buddy after punching the guy ran screaming for his wife to grab the 12 ga shotgun, forgetting for a few seconds about the 45 pistol in his belt,.... when he reached the kitchen he remembered,.... drew the pistol, spun around and saw a guy with a bloody nose exiting the front door, cops later caught the guy,who told them, my neighbor was lucky, the guy had tried to shoot him, after getting his nose busted, but had forgotten to release the safety, and on hearing (12GAUGE!) decided staying around was less than smart,and became convinced when he saw the old guys 45 pistol
