Does anyone carry a hand gun for security/protection while fulltiming, wife and I are contemplating, we really are not gun people, but living near Chicago, anymore it is like the old wild wild west, starting Fulltiming on May 27 TH 2013, we currently do not own a firearm, and would take safety classes and training, just would like to here your pros and cons, it would always be a desperate last resort to use the weapon, please respond thanks to all who respond.
Most folks that carry won't tell you. We are all better off not knowing who is, and who ain't.
As for me, I may not just now, but my Concealed Carry is in the mail. If you feel you need, or even if you just want it. Get it. The world is not getting better. I got mine just cause. Just cause I want it. I too hope to never use it for protection, But IF I have too, I'll have it. Kind of like sway control. Should you need it it's too late to go get it.
Having said that. the class it really, really, fun, and educational. Lots of thing you prolly don't know about using a hand gun, Where you can carry, and where you can't, Even with a permit.
But you know what? It's REALLY, REALLY, FUN to take out and practice with. I suggest you consider the caliber you buy. Many calibers are super hard to find ammo for. I'm thinkin of a 357, It will shoot 38 special as well, and I'll have a better chance of finding shells for it.
