When I go to cities or places with crowds now I go with a hi-cap 9mm and at least 46 rounds in case I find myself in a multi attacker situation.

Interesting consideration.

My carry kit as a civilian has always been based upon the stat that the vast majority of deadly-force encounters happen at 15 feet or less. My BUG and blade can be useful in EQCB. Worth little or nothing at active-shooter distances.

Statistically, being involved in an active-shooter or terrorist-assault scenario is far less likely than being struck by lighting.

But it happened in Paris. And ISIS promises it again.

Do you adjust your type/method of carry?

"They got all of them."

Really, Chuck?

Is your mind at ease every time you leave your house?

Just askin'.

Do you carry a firearm? If so, why?

My brother from another mother...

How would I respond? I'm rethinking that.

My daily carry is a compact 1911 format with two seven-round mags on my off-side. The gun is very accurate to 25 yards, but it has a short sight radius. Single-stack, seven-per. A total of 22 rounds on my person.

I carry a Seecamp .32 BUG in my pocket with only six on-board. Useful only at I-can-touch-you distances. And I always carry a blade. Depending upon the circumstances, may be able to do more damage with the blade than the BUG.

Trunk gun is an old Bushmaster. But it's there. And I've tried and tested Magpul's 40-round magazines. Have 'em loaded to 38 rounds. Several of them.

Bottom line: if ISIS comes to Texas, Texas will respond.

With over 800,000 concealed carry licensees, Texas is not a gun-free zone.
