thanks for the insights. i'll have to re-think. that's what i've always liked about this site. different folks with different views and lot's of experience.
maybe carry two ruger lcp's. not a reason not to do so that i can identify.
the idea of a derringer stuck into the top of a thick sock just seemed appealing somehow. i've never been in a gunfight. and have only been shot once.
Getting shot.....
Takes a lot of the fight out of ya! š memtb
