    I'm carrying a p365x with an EPS carry on it. 12+1 rounds in the gun and either 17 or 12 more riding in the weak side pocket.

    It's as much gun as I was carrying on the belt before I started carrying in the pocket due to back issues.

    i was in a discussion awhile back with someone who said that it's "out" fault if we become the victims of inner city crime. unfortunately i had to cut the discussion short. but the criminals are not limiting themselves to certain neighborhoods, areas, or even city limits.

    where is the 91 yr old lady supposed to go? she paid her house off 20 years ago. is it her fault that the government has failed to protect her right to pursue life, liberty, and justice?

    if we stand up, not only to the criminals, but also the mayors, prosecutors, and judges, we can put a stop to a lot of the rampant crimes that are happening daily.

    although i try not to endorse on political party, i have been very vocal lately about the biden/harris crew setting this country and its citizens up for failure.

    with a well armed gang taking over parts of aurora, co and now an apartment building on the southside of chicago, we are seeing exactly what the ruling party is planning for us.

    we are being invaded and our leaders refuse to admit it.

    when i first started posting here, i would end each post with "get armed, get trained, get legal" and the "revolution will not be televised".

    legal is not always right and there will be no revolution until the invasion is stopped at the border.

    I didn’t think I would have to clarify not entering shady apartments would include not hanging around outside of them too.

    I was not referring to you personally, my friend. Sorry if I phrased my words or quoted your post poorly.

    Just referencing the few folks talking about not needing much gun, caliber or magazine capacity through not going to shady places. I was trying to point out that while often crime happens in the heavy crime ridden areas, it still does happen outside of those areas also.

    Well, pocket carry is a compromise, nothing new about that. Having to deal with many attackers is going to be a problem, no matter what gun you have...unless it's a belt fed.

    Also, when you get older, have various physical issues, carrying a big gun with lots of ammo can also turn into a problem. Sometimes, you just have to deal with a smaller and lighter gun, with less capacity, and leave the rest in God's hands.

    Pocket guns are situational.
    I only carry one in situations where I am precluded from packing a full size weapon, and am very unlikely to need one anyhow.

    Now, in the situation like shown in the video, that's a non-issue. That's not pocket gun territory. No way I'd ever live in an apartment complex, and no way in hell, I'd ever stay in one overrun with armed foreign thugs...

    but if I did... Paul Kersey would have nothing on me. I'd be wandering around the compound with my SBR strapped across my chest as if I were still on the FOB in back in Iraq.

    I carry a p365 in my front pocket. More than likely, you will never need it. Would I like to carry my full size p320 with a 21 round mag? Sure.. is it practical? Not really. Always carry the gun that you have zero issues carrying.

    What's your draw time with this rig? Carry extra magazine(s)?

    Not being critical of you my friend, but the whole point of this thread is to address the current and growing threat of multiple well armed attackers. Verses the past mundane regular dull times that the threat environment hardly exists.

    No amount of ammo or speed of draw is going to save you against multiple well armed attackers. If I venture into an apartment complex in Colorado for some reason, I’ll bring a long gun and all my friends with long guns.

    I think most are fine with a P365 or similar in a pocket, and certainly much better armed than with a J frame. Hopefully I’ll not meet a squad of bloodthirsty migrants in the Pop Tart aisle at Kroger to prove me wrong.

    You certainly don't know whether your handgun could save you against the threat that has you way outgunned or not...
    ...Unless of course, you don't make any effort at all to to try to be prepared for this. :)

    Tren de Aragua have to eat, just like the rest of us. Where else, other than Kroger, would you think they do their grocery shopping? :scratch:

    That's a perfect example of the mistaken thinking you can avoid the criminal element with your good sense and situational awareness. Food, fuel and other consumables are needed by the illegals the same as Americans. A lot of times the gangs and thugs and illegals have to venture out of the ghettos due to the food deserts created by business' that just can no longer operate in the high crime areas.
