Actually, Sara, your life expectancy is longer after being shot with a .45 in lawful use than a smaller round--the obligation for lawful use of deadly force is "neutralize the threat" (once the other guy's no longer a threat you must cease-fire), and it takes a whole lot more smaller-caliber rounds to do it, which means the "shoot-ee" has a higher chance of dying from tissue-damage and bleedout (one or two big holes bleed a lot less than six to ten smaller ones) than being hit and knocked down by a single .45 shot. So you see, it's a humanitarian gesture too!
Besides which, if I get called in it's gonna be only on the kinda situation where you need that nice Officer Tackleberry , anyway... otherwise, I got a garrison to command! You don't think "Ft. Lost-in-the-Woods" is gonna run itself, or get me that coveted position as Commander-in-Chief, Far East Command, by itself, do you?lol
As for concealed weapons, if that makes me less than a gentleman so be it, although the only reason they're concealed other than weather-effects is that I know how some people get at the mere sight of shootin' irons. We aren't gonna have any of those tartar-sauce-dipping espressoheads who download serious brownware and then need an immediate triple-latte and emergency group-therapy session at the mere mention of the "g-word", are we?
