Just to help that nice fellow bareArms with his survey:I wear a gun on my hip all day every day at work. I wear one most of time when I'm not at work. It plays hell with my sciatic nerve sometimes, but that gives me a great excuse to importune somebody for a butt and leg massage. I can't count the number of people I have pointed my gun at over the last 17 years. But I've never had to put any pressure on the trigger outside of the range. The closest I came was when a large fellow picked me up and threw me through a fence. My wig fell off. Then he was on top of me trying to hit me. He was drunk, and lucky for both of us, not very effective. I just held my gun away from him and blocked with my elbows until my partner arrived with his flashlight.
Last week I was preparing plans for a search warrant and I got a paper cut. There's danger everywhere.
