You are pro 2 nd amendment.
You are pro capitalism.
You prefer to not depend on the police to protect you.
You are not a progressive. You may not be a conservative (about which, you are wrong, by the way. I don't care about your religion, just leave me & mine alone.), but you will have to see about turning in the progressive card. Stand by for the intervention from your progressive friends.
If you want lower taxes & a pickup truck, turn that card in immediately.

I'm a progressive. My religion comment was out of line, though...sorry.

i dont think it was relevant to the discussion, wasnt offended.

So, now that we got that out of the way, and people have vented about California and liberals, can someone put up a list of what they think are decent pocket guns that are on the California drop list? I can search all I want on the DOJ website, but I haven't a clue if the guns I come across are any good. I want a high quality pocket gun, that fits flat in my pocket and will go bang every time. I have a couple of different revolver, but thye are a bit too noticeable.

I wasn't offended. It's the internet, thin skins need not apply.
My post was intended as a bit of levity. Seriously though, CA DOJ sucks. Most of the guns that I could think of that might work, aren't on the list. I don't know a heck of a lot about pocket pistols, so I found the whole thing a bit annoying.
Beretta Tomcat, maybe? The Cheetah looks a bit large for a "pocket pistol," but it's certainly worth a look."
Bersa Thunder, some people love them, some hate them. There seems to be very little middle ground.
How about a baby Glock?

I love my S&W model 60 . If I get a concealed carry permit, I'd just carry 38 ammo in it, though. I was able to get this at a better price than a model 36, plus it's more versatile. I just didn't like the idea of sticking one of those little 380's without a safety in my pocket and I fired an air weight and didn't like it at all. Of course, if I did get a permit to carry, I might just carry a bigger firearm, but I just try to avoid being in situations now, where I would need to carry a firearm. Pepper spray works well if you get harassed by dogs and I carry a heavy walking stick on my walks. So it's a choice I have to make. I'd like to have a lot more training before I consider getting a permit and would really like to go through the rest of my life without ever having to use a gun in a self defense situation. I am getting too old to run, though, which would be one of my first choices to avoid a beating or being robbed, so carrying a handgun and being able to use it and make the right choices in a dangerous situation, is something I have to think about.
