    I know in Az its ok to carry. At least the cop didn't care when he asked if I had weapons and I listed it off on top of everything else I have.

    But good point. Some area's of this country suck for weapon laws. Better safe then sorry.

    Besides a S&W 642, a Gerber pocket knife, and a Maglite, my child bride is a black belt in Okinawan karate. She comes from a long line of Irishmen, so violence is kinda inbred...:D

    I can still take her tho'. Any time, any where...




    If she wants to go somewhere, I'll drive...;)

    Yeah thats was kinda my point. someone in AZ or say me here in TN maybe able to have something that someone in CALI or other states may not be able to legally carry. each states law very slightly, also on when and how you can use protection. Knowing your states laws are going to protect you more than having something that helps you protect your self and people in your truck.

    And I bet many of these individuals didn't live in fear either... You don't have to hang out with gang bangers for random people to affect your life when you are in public.

    Have you ever heard the term ... "Don't show up at a gun fight with an insurance policy."?

    Sorry ... couldn't resist ... I had read you other post and thought you would enjoy the humor ... :D
