Which is why some people have been known to keep an AK-47 in their truck to supplement whatever pistol they may be carrying.

I don't give a damn if the gun is impressive, I am much more interested if it goes bang. Goblins can be impressed by the holes in their chests.
Hey that rhymes. Cool.

You appear to be new, and in need of some education in group history. 8^)

You could have mounted the Bodyguard under the AK handguards like a Surefire vertical grip light. That would have scared them even more, I'm sure. :mrgreen:

Maybe if you hold it upside down while grabbing your crotch... that seems to be the hip thing with young people these days.

In addition to the revolver(sorry NPR, should have typed handgun), one should have an equally nice holster for it.

I picked up a Galco pocket holster(PRO 158) as I stated earlier, but something was missing. That is until now:

That is Uncle Ted's very own signature! :D

He came to town today for a book signing and, for a donation, would sign anything else(barring guns and bows, stupid BORDERS).

So I now have an autographed holster and book, some sweet bumper stickers and best of all, I got to shake his hand. The smile on my face still hasn't wiped off yet!
