Instead, your belief that all humans are essentially good mandates that you carry a less-lethal device like a Taser, a stun gun or maybe even pepper spray. Since even wayward souls can be redeemed, you want to take deadly force off the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Minimalist<\/strong> \u2014 Just the bare bones for you. It\u2019s a mouse gun, maybe a derringer or a Heizer Pocket AK. Either way, it\u2019s nothing big, nothing fancy, but it is enough to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Average Joe<\/strong> \u2014 Pistols! Typically of the compact or subcompact variety. Maybe it\u2019s a Glock 43, or Shield or and XD-S. Basically, insert your favorite polymer automatic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Why stand out when you can fit in?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Purist<\/strong> \u2014 God created the heavens and the earth.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Then, after some serious thought, he created the wheel gun. Ah yes, it doesn\u2019t get much better than a five or six shot revolver. Always reliable, always there when you need it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Planner<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019re no one-trick pony. You have multiple carry guns, one for every imaginable situation. As such, you like to plan out what to carry where. Camping in Alaska? It\u2019s the Ruger Super Redhawk.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Going for a jog? It\u2019s a .380 ACP with a Crimson Trace laser. Sitting by the pool? It\u2019s a Chiappa Rhino (why?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I have no idea. Rhinos must like pools).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Exhibitionist<\/strong> \u2014 Handgun. Pshaw! No handgun for you!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You carry a long gun, and you carry it openly! Yes, part of it is designed to destigmatize the open carry of guns in your local community. But, let\u2019s not kid ourselves, the other part is you like the attention. It\u2019s not all about open-carry activism \u2014 is it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Perfectionist<\/strong> \u2014 Your carry gun is something that\u2019s been worked, and re-worked 1,000 times over. It started off as a simple production pistol, but now, it is anything but.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s got a unicorn trigger, an unobtanium slide, quad-ambidextrous controls (meaning you can release the magazine and engage the safety in four different spots). I\u2019m thinking a Salient Arms Hi-Point? Or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KjQk244oW9c\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"carry-gun-says\" title=\"What Your Carry Gun Says About You\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dynamic Pie Concepts<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Cowboy<\/strong> \u2014 The Wild West has come and gone. Yet, you like to pay homage to our Western forebears by keeping their legacy alive with a single-action Colt on your hip, along with the requisite cartridge bandolier.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You want to put all the nearby rustlers, hooligans and outlaws on guard. You won\u2019t tolerate their depredations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Old Breed<\/strong> \u2014 If it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it. John Moses Browning perfected the carry gun with the inception of the Model 1911. It\u2019s survived an entire century of technological achievement \u2014 everything from the invention of the polymer pistol to the hype and bluster of the smart gun \u2014 and it\u2019s still is every bit as attractive as the day it was born, and no one\u2019s convincing you otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Tackleberry<\/strong> \u2014 Heck, why carry one gun when you can carry several? As a Tackleberry, you carry a full-size primary firearm, a backup firearm and then a backup to your backup. You take preparation and personal self-defense to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Compensator<\/strong> \u2014 To go along with your monster truck, mud tires, and muscle shirts, you carry a Taurus Judge or a Desert Eagle. Some say your compensating for something. We say you\u2019re just badass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, your turn! \u00a0What can you add to the list?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like chain restaurants do with specialty burgers and house-made sandwiches, I\u2019ve tried typecasting gun owners based on what gun they carry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":58029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,234,25,216],"tags":[132,586,626,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-58018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-columns","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-column","13":"tag-opinion","14":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Your Carry Gun Says About You<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Like chain restaurants do with specialty burgers and house-made sandwiches, I\u2019ve tried typecasting gun owners based on what gun they carry.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/carry-gun-says\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What Your Carry Gun Says About You\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Like chain restaurants do with specialty burgers and house-made sandwiches, I\u2019ve tried typecasting gun owners based on what gun they carry.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/carry-gun-says\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-05-26T18:32:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T17:26:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/600px-PA_10.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
