Potlach Idaho circa 1988 a local gun dealer I'll call Ben, was wearing his Freedomk Arms Belt Buckle Derringer. Ben had left his shop after showing his new .22 mag off to a friend. Stopping off for a few groceries on the way home, he was in the back of the store when he heard a young man yell "This is a hold up!"
as he related to me later, Ben remembered about then that he had neglected to reload his Freedom Arms gun. Instead of an assertive defense, as the young man w/ a gun sptted him Ben decided he had one chance; he laid down on his belly and begged for his life.
It worked, but MAN, what a crappy "tactic" to have to resort to.
Carry a couple guns and , uh carry them loaded.
