i don't want to carry on the gun thing as byrd huntr said it for me,however when i got out of the Army in 1969 i did not like the idea of walking around unarmed anymore.for a few years at college and just around i carried the snub nosed 38 i got at the Davis Gun Shop in Phenix City AL.why i can recall that and not where i put my car keys is part of getting old i guess.Davis Guns is just across the bridge and a lot of guys from Ft Benning bought guns there.the point is that it's not rose colored glasses it's realizing that your life style and environment does not call for you to be armed all the time.i still get up at night and flip on the outside lights for a look sometimes.the 38 is long gone,i sold it to buy camping gear.
speaking of camping,i don't carry anything in my pants pockets because when you flip a canoe up for the portage it rests on your thighs for a moment before the move to your shoulders.i only had to have a Bic jammed into my leg once to learn that.fast use things like a watch,small LED,whistle and a small Bic go into my shirt pocket,they keep dryer up there.
