Right on! People think that the event is more important than their personal safety. Gotta add that shopping in the mall is out, exception being food supplies from grocery store.
You can wager a solid bet that people are toting hardware and spare mags at most stores.
Not saying social isn't...
Right on Diver! Don't give up as it is a hobby unlike coins or stamps. Im still rolling at 68, not ready to count them and sell them. I have 2 safes, plenty of storage to go!
Had a dicey meet up with a guy and didnt disclose his age prior. Illinois car plates, no drivers license to show his residence, but also wanted me to sell to his Mom who clearly was over 21.
I declined, had my wife with me, and she has her LTCH, and I did too.(Wife was backup)
No thanks to the...
I guess the G45-5 is my fav. Also tote around either a 5 shot snubbie, or a Kahr CM9.(Mostly pocket carry smaller models).
Sometimes, nostalgia hits me, and I break out my S&W M10-5 , 4in tapered bbl. couple speedloaders, and Bianchi #7 pancake rig to holster. Not on the vote list,except under...
Being in NW Ind, an order sent to Indy, then my town, gets here in a couple days. I ordered something from Elk Grove , Il, and it went to Mississippi before it got to Indy. After Indy, 2 days , it got here. Took 10 days to go to Mississippi though.
Found a place in Ft Wayne that had my item...
Yep, new is expensive. Pre owned is little cheaper, broke in, and usually safe. Most of mine are pre owned, in great shape, no issues. Mostly owned, hardly fired.

There are some salty Retired Lawdogs who might take up an offer to return and answer...
Have owned and carried for LEO, Security. and personal protection for over 20 years. Don't see anytime soon moving on to another. Uhm, except for a G45-5. Best of both worlds, but my G19-3 is in my nightstand.
Never leave new box laying around. Don't make any list that describes model, value, or current info. Answer like this: This isn't new honey, its an old beater that has been here forever! Remember Old Uncle XXXXX and he had these. Sorry he passed away at 98 years old. Have fun at the Mall!
