I used to carry a Kimber Pepper Blaster II. It was a pocket carry too far. Despite the Blaster’s slim profile, I’ve don’t have enough real estate left in my pants; what with schlepping a spare ammo mag, knife, keys, sunglasses, wallet and phone. And, on occasion, a backup gun. Tactical pen. Flashlight. I also worried about having to decide whether a defensive situation called for a gun or pepper spray.

“In citing Australia and Great Britain as examples, does Obama envision their gun laws as right for America? If so, he should put it on the table.

Draft those bills and send them to Congress.” – Nolan Finley, Obama just jawboning on guns [via detroitnews.com]
