It's better to have and not need, than need and not have!! I am usually never without my Glock 30, 45acp. Here in Ga. it doesn't have to be concealed, we can openly carry. Some resturants have signs posted saying firearms are not allowed, so I just don't eat there. I have also openly carried my Ruger Redhawk 4" 44 mag, and oh the looks I get when I openly carry my SBH 7 1/2" !
