I have a small place near Jacksboro with a few cattle, ponies, llamas, chickens, turkeys and guineas. I always carry about the property due to snakes, coyotes and mountain lions. I lost two turkeys to mountain lions about three weeks ago.

My common carry weapons are a Beretta model 1934 in .380 and a Beretta Tomcat in .32 if I need stealth.



""Help me here....You carry a .380 or a .32 for MOUNTAIN LIONS? This is only if you need STEALTH? By your own admission below, you pick up the .32 projectile from the ground with only "a slight dent on the nose". WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE DO YOU THINK YOU CAN INFLICT ON A MOUNTAIN LION with this weapon/caliber? ""

Observation! When I do a bit of plinking at tin cans in the pasture the .380 and others bore a hole in the ground, hard clay, but I can pick up the .32 slugs on the surface and they only exhibit a slight dent on the nose. Consequently I call the Tomcat my, "Shoot & Scoot" pistol.



"" I'm sorry if I seem to be picking on you, but if you choose to "Shoot & Scoot" with a mountain lion, you will probably lose most of your ASS, if not a whole lot more than that.

Do you carry concealed for real life? I'm talking about going to a convenience store, hotel parking lot, Wal Mart, etc. Do you understand the REAL LIFE THREATS you face every day?

If you do, you really need to SERIOUSLY consider a real caliber weapon system to protect yourself & anyone you care for. ""
