Each firearm serves a different purpose. Well for me at least. There are firearms that I would never consider for personal carry. They are either for home protection or for practice shooting at the gun range. There are those that I have and carry specifically while I’m wearing a suit. There are those that I carry when I’m casual ie. Jeans and a Polo shirt. Something which goes undetected under a loose fit shirt. I have guns that I consider ‘Bear Guns’. I bring these on my vacation getaway to the mountains. Then I have my home defense options. Those are what I consider to be ‘statement’ pieces. I believe that’s self explanatory lol. Though I like all of my firearms I definitely try to practice gun etiquette and leave the house with what’s necessary rather than what’s impressive. My personal carry is not for show & tell anyway. I carry according to my plans and accommodations. I’m not going to the cigar lounge with an UZI and I’m not going hiking in the mountains with my 22 RL 1911. You get my point. Carry according to your plans and accommodations. As always, gun safety is a MUST. Enjoy your firearms and most importantly be careful with them.
There was a case around here a few years back where a guy wanted to make a point about Utah’s 2A laws. He took an AR, strapped it on and went to the mall, knowing it would cause a lot of
. And it worked! People called the police to report a guy with mean army gun walking around the mall, the police showed up and caught up to him and politely asked him to quit being stupid. He broke no laws but he sure as hell carried the wrong gun in the wrong circumstance.
I see you have 2 guns for garage defense ![]()

I carry a P938 with 8 rounds plus 7 rounds in a backup magazine most of the time.
I carry an FN Reflex with 16 rounds plus 15 in a backup when I travel.
Bedside is an FNP40 with WML, 15 rounds plus multiple backup magazines.
Different guns, different calibers, for different circumstances. Some, just cuz! My favorite revolver is a Taurus, mod. 450, Chambered in .45 Colt. Next is my Ruger LCRX, chambered in .22mag.
I have the Taurus tracker, the judge and the Ruger lcp max in 380. I have several other handguns as well. I agree with you, different guns for different situations.
Fortunately, circumstances have been favorable So I can afford the luxury of owning and shooting several handguns. I like revolvers more than I do semi-automatics. But I have a few. There is an indoor range about 20 minutes away and a whole lot of BLM land, near by. There’s Also several outdoor ranges 20 minutes from where I live. Because of arthritis, I started carrying my 357’s instead of my 45 Colt. There’s not any bears where I live now, but I used to live in AK. And hunt bears. I carried a ruger Redhawk.44mag then as a backup. Now my “woods” gun is a S&W governor.
