Was originally going to post in General firearms.. then I got sidetracked.

My problem with polymer frames (beyond irrational belief that they will fail catastrophically or get chewed up by dogs) and some smaller autos is that I forget they're there.
In the past I've carried some small caliber autos and recently tried carrying some poly guns only to think "I should grab a gun" when I'm already wearing one.
Compared to the weight of a two pound 45 they're nonexistent. Can you carry a non-gun?
If thrown when they run out of bullets/fail will they even hurt?
When the tree falls in a forest, will the other trees laugh?
Evil lumberjack (though he's OK. Sleeps all night, works all day (but that's another story altogether))
1AM and I am dead in the brain
Ignore, incinerate, move, trash, whatever
Down to it; beyond training, if there's no weight there to remind you that you're carrying something heavier than a pocketknife, wallet, cellphone, or whatever... what's to keep you from forgetting you have one should you eventually need it?
(for the record, I usually end up heading out the door with a combat commander or similar)
