Check out some of the new clotting agents as well...cheap insurance.

    I've been carrying regularly since 1968, when I got out of the Marine Corps. With the holiday season upon us and the current state of flux our country is in, I'm now carrying my G19 plus an extra mag on a regular basis, even on short trips to the store.
    Although the 19 is a little bulkier then a single stack, I'm competent and accurate with it should a bad situation arise. We live in a different world now, and although my weapon has been little more then extra weight in the past 49 years, I'm not about to surrender my insurance policy.

    Lately I've been bumping up to Sig P320 Compact from Ruger LC9. P32 or LCP as a backup on occasion.

    With my ileostomy, I have not been carrying lately. I am wearing very loose clothing, ie.: sweats with a tee and a hoodie. I could stuff an LCP in the pouch of my hoodie but I've got keys, gloves, phone, etc. in there already. Belly band is out with the ostomy bag at waistline and I'm not going to use a kydex neck lanyard with the pistol pointed at my chin.

    I know there are other options, thank God this is temporary and I'll be back to carrying before too long.

    Sorry to hear about your ailments brother. I remember seeing a small Smith revolver with a lanyard loop on the bottom of the grip. I believe it was a .22lr. Not much better with it pointing at the jewels but if you have a beer belly they would be protected.
    Some people just plain suck.

    I find myself carrying a Ruger LCR 357 with a spare speed loader most often these days. Then again, where I live we really don’t have much crime anyways.

    BFR45-70
    .45/70, 10” Barrel BFR Revolver
