Now it's hitting closer to home. This happened yesterday, and it was 1/2 mile from my house. If you read the story, you'll see this guy had a knife and slashed at this lady. I don't know how many times I've said, at work, lunch, whatever, that women should get a concealed weapons permit and carry a firearm just in case this happens. It's happening all too often right now, especially home invasions.
Think about it - this lady didn't expect it to happen to her, she thought it would be somebody else...that's where the first mistake is.
http://www.wftv.com/news/17193081/detail.htmlMe, Jeff, CWP holder and I carry a Springfield XD .45 ACP daily. It's not so much that I'm nervous/scared that something will happen, but, the fact is, it doesn't even much exist anymore.
3 of my best friends carry also. Doug, Dan (both carry Springfield XD .45's) and Fabian, carries a Ruger P89 9mm, for home defense, even for his girlfriend, needed something with less power that she can safely handle.
