I really don't care what people carry, whether it's a .22 LCR or a .45 1911. I just want them to carry. The more people that do, the safer our community is.

The only push back I've ever experienced has been from a certain group that believes if you're not carrying a striker fired gun, usually from a certain brand, then you're doing something wrong. I had this debate with the counter guy when picking up my latest purchase. I can clearly articulate the logical thought process which led me to decide on the system I use. What I've found is they usually cannot; it's more of a religion based on group-think verses logic.

Bottom line, carry your 1911 or anything else all you want.
