?? So what is your wife supposed to do for self defense when you are out and about with her handgun? Did you know that four armed police officers were gunned down at one time in the donut shop where they were having breakfast? Not even the last officer to be killed was able to get to their weapon to return fire and end the threat. So much for the use of firearms as
defensive weaponry. If you are at a stoplight and arms grab you from behind and lift you off your bike, you could have a 357 in a shoulder holster and it will do you little good until you can first take care of the reality that you are in a very compromised situation. You'd better know how to break holds or other aspects of close quarters combat. Otherwise, your bike is gone and maybe you too if they find the gun. Maybe better to lose the bike? I don't know, I'm just asking.
