An S&W 59 is as big as a full sized .45 Colt. I used to carry one in my flight gear in the Navy. Good if you're wearing a coat but too large to really conceal. There are a lot of good .40 cal compact semi autos with polymer frames and at least 10 round capacities. Light and easy to carry. I like the Beretta but there are several good ones out there.
I was at the Westwood’s Mall in your neighborhood the other day where the nine murders took place last year. I wonder if they have rethought their “No Guns†policy.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
