What is the "minimum gun" you feel adequate carrying?

Man, NES is wound up today.

Reboot your internet device and go touch grass for a few minutes.

 

[Sparky123]

The correct answer is.40, its always .40!!!

Yes, and 40 - 2 = 38

No, you made this thread interesting.

Keep it going.

 

[Broc]

Yes, and 40 - 2 = 38

But 8-3 = 5
You can easily draw an 8 from a 3 and a 5
5 is a number between 3 and 8 giving us 358
358 is the size of lead bullets for 357
Therefore .40 is really 357 in the closet
I conclude 357 owners are all fags.

Well, you really have to learn to "dress around the gun", but this is the bare minimum. Anything less and you will always be under gunned.

I was told by several people that carrying a five shot .38 snubby in today's dangerous world is no longer enough protection because a lot of bad guys work in groups now. Some of these guys don't leave home without a kitted out RMR on the slide Glock 19 and 3 spare mags, total of 60+1 rounds on them.

Where does NES land in this area? What *amount of gun* would you feel is good enough for EDC where you live and travel when out and about?

I can’t tell if you are a troll or a giant homo. Either way I don’t care enough about the internet anymore. Carry a .22

The minimum gun? depends on personal preference and situation. I generally avoid going to dangerous places and dislike wearing pants with a belt, so I'd feel OK with a 380 or similar in a belly band. Just something for personal protection.

I can see where some of these guys are coming from. If one frequents high crime urban areas.

Maybe consider keeping a long gun in a vehicle or close by in case the situation escalates into "SHTF GO TIME - NES OPERATORS HIGH ALERT, MEET AT RALLY POINT CHARLIE" But I'm out and about minding my business, not an operator or LE or security.

There goes out the window the anti gunners' argument that 90 something percent or more of gun defense scenarios involve 3 shots or less. You feel 11 rounds cuts it but not 5? Do you carry a reload?

Their claim is based on a false premise, which is that the 2nd amendment and gun ownership is about having just enough for self defense. It's not.

What's wrong with being a "giant homo", Mr. I Don't Care Chad Nods Pic? And you're right. As Snoop said, 22 round nose be all up in there like a pinball.

New York Reload baby. Carry 5 or six identical little snubbies and 5 or 6 speedloaders and you can take out a battalion of MS-13 in a gun battle.

Gotta make sure my triggers are compliant to NY2 50 lb spec first and then gtg.

 

[TrashcanDan]

Any gun you carry is not enough gun. Ever.

Thats why I carry a Machete. With a red dot on it. And it has a bayonet.
Tomahawk as a backup.

Feel adequate carrying?
I'm the goddam boogeyman.

Yeah but, which way does the red dot go?

Red Dots.
Can't be to careful.

A handgun is there, for you to get to your rifle.
A tactical machete is there to get to your anti-tank weapons and rotary flamethrower.
I'm the Juggernaut.

.40 + .05 = .45. All about the girth.

 

[s&w3913]

I carried a .38 snubnose for years. Had one particular uncomfortable encounter where five rounds didn't seem adequate so last year I swapped it out for a 10+1 P365. Does that answer your question?

Alot of us J frame people are converts to the Sig P365. I do still feel very comfortable carrying my 4 inch K frame revolver as I am very accurate with it. The J frame.. ugh.. I do okay.. with it.. Its always been the 3913 or J frame.. until the Sig P365 came along..

 

[Yankee1956]

G43 with a couple extra clipazines. Anything else just feels too bulky

 

[Yankee1956]

Not knowing when porch pirates will strike, this is my kit when opening the door to retrieve Amazon deliveries of Starbucks K-cups.

For a serious answer- Glock 43 in a pocket holster.

Is that Ed from 90 day?

 

[namedpipes]

It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots through schools!

 

[ThePreBanMan]

9mm personally.

 

[RHJJ]

Avoid shitty areas and just carry your everyday gun. If you have to go where you don't feel safe, xtra mags are your friend.

 

[namedpipes]

The correct answer is.40, its always .40!!!

There is a market opportunity here for a .42 caliber pistol!

 

[556USER]

For me the bare minimum is a magazine fed semi automatic assault pistol.

 

[Docpk]

10mm G29

 

[tbk5]

I normally carry a P365 with a 15 round extended magazine. In the summer, with shorts, I carry a P238 (.380) with one of those jock strap holsters. Anything to enhance the package.
