I followed this thread because of my interest in the subject.
A couple of folks or maybe more seem to think that since I have a permit and pack, I am a paranoid and "scared" person and may pull out the gun for a flash at random or start cranking off rounds in a premature manner. I don't understand and will never accept that logic. It seems to be very unfounded to me.
Now just maybe if my name was Mongo, I would have a different outlook. :W
