Still Gearing Up for NRA!

Narrator: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

I just don't feel like The Force is with me today...for example, I keep thinking my suitcase is going to pack itself, and yet despite my most intense thoughts, nothing ever seems to happen. As a consequence, I bought a weird-looking shoulder holster. I'm not sure about the cause and effect there. Maybe if I took a nap.

I got notice that the much-anticipated Heizer .45 Double Tap derringer should be on its way to me end of the month...I expect this thing to be a monster sales wise, not to mention relaunching the apparently endless debate on DERRINGERS— Effective Self-Defense Tool or Spawn of Satan?

I come down on the side of anything that goes bang as being more effective than harsh language, or even a sharp stick. I consider my Bond Arms .45/.410 as an excellent, albeit beefy, dog-walking gun and have used it as such for years. As I've gotten older, I've become more of a proponent of 2 guns for CCW holders, largely because of the ability to hand the second gun off the a spousal unit or a friend who is not carrying. New York Reloads, as Jim Cirillo called them, are also quick like bunny.
