It's not supposed to be comfortable, it is supposed to be comforting

I carry because it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Sounds like you are carrying IWB. My Supertuck gave me the same problem. I heard about the N82 (Nate Squared) and got one. Much more comfortable.

And thanks for the job you do.

I agree. I love the story of the young lady shooting the "would be" robber. I completely agree... But I will play the odds.

Here is why you should carry a gun.

These kids thought they were going to rob this old man, well they got shot instead.

I really love the story about the old man that had been having problems with kids breaking into his shop and steeling things.

He waited up for them one night and when he saw them he called 911 and told dispatch that they were breaking into his shop again. Dispatch told him that they were really busy and couldn't get there right away. The old man said fine and hung up.

He grabbed his gun and headed out to the shop.

In a few minutes the old man called the cops again and told them not to worry about getting there too fast as he had shot and killed two kids.

Of course every cop within 10 miles was there in a flash.

When the old man told them the kids were in the shop, they went in to find two teenagers tied up on the floor perfectly healthy.

When one of the officers asked the old man....I thought you said you shot and killed the kids?,

The old man replied.........I thought you said you couldn't get here right away?
