CCW purposes.  Like you have any.

I work in downtown Cincy.  Sure, things are hunky dory right now but we're one unarmed teen shooting away from 2001-style riots.

Not a reason.

The 2001 riots?  In which nobody died?  OK.

And the situation will be improved with more CCW! :)

I still like the PPK as CCW weapon. If all else fails, I can beat someone with it.

People were being pulled out of their cars & beaten.  I'd rather that not happen to me.

You don't really need a gun to reach over and hit the car door lock with it anymore, what with power locks these days.

Car door locks prevent broken windows?  GOT IT.

Besides, that door locking sound is what furthers racial divide in our city.

Don't worry, d.  I'm sure you're trying hard enough to put yourself in the position to shoot your first black.  Don't worry.  You'll make the magic happen soon enough.

Nah-- if I wanted to do that I'd have become a cop. 

Anyway it'd take some extraordinary circumstances to invoke MAH CCW RAHTS.  Can't imagine carrying on a regular basis.

If I'm driving a car, and someone seeking to do me harm is on foot, I don't need a gun.  I've got a car.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Sounds like you actually may have a monster truck, if you're able to get away through a crowded street.

Picked up the Polish P-64.  Feels heavy for such a tiny pistol.  Also stopped on my way home and bought a Rock Island Arsenal 1911 in GI configuration.  Very impressed with the fit and finish for such a reasonable price.  Now need to stock up on .45 ammo.
