I used to carry a Mauser C96 wartime commercial in 7.65 with handloaded winchester silvertip hollowpoints. Nowadays I just walk at a brisk military pace, stretching my 6'2" frame to full stature,twitching my left eye and mumbling loudly about being a forum moderator,periodically spinning on my heel and yelling at imaginary government officials <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I simply maintain a hightened sense of my surroundings and avoid vulnurable situations. My main fear in all honesty are other drivers exhibiting road rage ( you @*#$, You could SEE I was drifting over on you to make that sudden turn without a signal while on the cell phone. Don't YOU honk at me you @#$%*).I live in California, land of fruits and nuts and SUVs that humble armored cars in old Fritz Lange movies.
