To the original question, I will be applying for citizenship in a couple of years, just so I don't have to put up with any more immigration BS. I'll always be a Brit though.

I have a personal preference for semi-autos in 9mm hence then khar, even if its only 5+1, but the little S+W is great if you are wearing minimalist clothing. As is often the case in SE FlA
Oh and a decent folding knife. Very handy. Never leave home without it.
I have several others but they arent general carry items.

Apologies if this has been done to death - I guess I'm the new guy (even though I apperently joined in 2002 and promptly forgot about it!).

And no, I don't mean to imply any criticism or judgement. I'm genuinely interested.

As for concealed handgun carry. Its just personal choice. Im not expecting trouble around every corner. Equally the trouble (if it appears) doesnt have to be human in form. We do have a lot of wild animals round here who will soon as not chew yer leg off as look at you.

The northern extent of the everglades abut my subdivision. Take your pick of wild and evil animal. Its not unsual to find a gator in the canal out the back, or any number of nasty not so little evil scavengers roaming round. Hogs are quite common.
