No, I have not. I fought in Vietnam - a very different place - a very different war. A company commander in Afghanistan might not call in artillery fire, tactical air support, or a B-52 bomb strike, on any given day. That's what I did. All limited wars have their own rules; and, given the rules of engagement, we have no business putting our military at risk in Afghanistan. That said, it does not change what I said about officers carrying weapons. An officer is in charge by virtue of his knowledge and ability that are the atributes of leadership; and if he cannot rely on that alone, he is not worth the bullet to blow him to hell.

Kimber Ultra Carry CDP .45ACP for concealed carry in the city.

S&W 625JM .45 revolver for open carry around the vacation cabin.

Marlin 336SS .30-.30 (iron sights only) lever action rifle while hiking in the back country near the cabin.

Mossberg 590A1 12 gauge for around the house in the city with 9 alternating slug-00 bucks loaded.

The only times I carry is when I go into the woods behind the house and when I take my morning winter outings.



I live in a very wooded area. The map above is bear country and I live in it.

This what I have to careful of in Pinetop-Lakeside Arizona where we have our vacation cabin.

The woman eventually died. Oddly enough she lived in my town of Gilbert, Az as well.

Yeah bears usually don't bother people but when they do it is best to be armed lest you be dead.

I carry either a Sig P250 40 SW SC or a Kahr CM9.
No one ever knows when or if they will need to protect themselves.
It is not a planned event.

Unfortunately there is no carry - concealed or open - in this state. Even so, I'm looking at a Walther PPQ to plink with and a Ruger LCP to carry in the states that do acknowledge my CCW permit. I have a few other handguns around the house, but am getting the bug to get another.

I guess this would be the one. My 9!!

Oh, I do like Lugers.
