Couldn't agree more on the training. We need many more sheep dogs out there.

Or just an expensive hobby!

. In any event a good investment.

Check it out- get your cc! I am highly trained in combat pistol and thought I knew everything. I mean HIGHLY trained. However, I decided to take the cc class up here in Alaska where everyone carries openly and you don't need a cc. Anyway, I went because my wife wanted me to go with her and I went reluctantly. I completely changed my skillset based on what I learned in the course and left there in awe on what was taught. I started carrying the SP101, .357 for concealed and it has been perfect. I can plink with .38 and then carry with .357 badass rounds. My wife carries 24/7 with the same weapon and rounds. She is fully confident because of the course and I recommend all women take the course. I have no doubt in her ability and willingness to defend. I feel comfortable when she is at work and out and about. My advice....don't carry a 9mm. Don't carry a .380. Get you something that will stop a man. Also. For open carry, I have a .40 xp. That I trust to knock down a black bear but not a grizzly. The .357 does the trick for that. For a brownie...nothing short of a .44 but that is too big to carry unless I am down in brown bear country.

A 9mm in a lot of situations is plenty of knockdown power.  If a man is on drugs it may not be, but in that situation a .45 may not be enough even though that thing hits like a brick.

Kimber .45 1911; the red dot and flashlight work pretty well too!

Man, someone has expensive taste in firearms.  (Coming from a guy that wants a Kimber Sapphire)

Dont carry but my burgler alarm consists of a big dog and a 12 gauge loaded with bb's.
