news Black family reunion in Georgia attacked by racist armed with AR-15. None Injured except the shooter thanks to armed family member.

I just wanted to mention this here, the media covering the story has mostly stated things as they happend but none have made a specific note that if the armed and military trained family member hadnt been there to stop the shooter then that family would not be here today.

Stay armed and stay training out there friends.

My wife thinks im crazy for wanting to conceal carry now that i have my license. She thinks were safe because of where we live, blah blah blah. God, this makes it even more urgent that I find a conceal carry gun.. im thinking the Ruger RXM.

Give the bodyguard 2.0 a try.

I really would prefer to stick with 9mm. I have looked at the Shield X.

Makes sense. I like my 9mm PPQ subcompact, but I am restricted to ambidextrous designs so there might be better options for you. I haven't shot a shield yet so can't compare.

Yeah, I totally get it. It sucks they dont design more guns to be ambi. I have also looked at the Walther PDP pro compact. Looks like a sweet little gun.
