I carry the mouse because its the only gun I have that can fit into every front pants pocket I own, no matter how tight, loose, for fitting, etc and I can shoot accurately.
It, a pocket knife, and a spacepen, every day.
Then, depending on the shirt, is whether or not the 9c gets the 12 round, or the 17 extended - with the other mag on board somewhere.
The mouse gun isn't a hope gun. It's there for spite. I wish it had exploding bullets. With mercury.
My hope strategy is to avoid confrontation.
