[TriLUG] OT: Guns

[Jim Tuttle]

I should have also asked about weapons carried by those who do carry.
So, you have a 4" .40 with a 12 round magazine?  Is this easily
concealable?  I'd never heard of this pistol, but will check it out
based on your recommendation and the one from Warren.

Thanks a lot,
Jim
