Handgun Choice in Power Outages - Rampy - 10-08-2024
Was talking to a classmate/friend from high school & who also went into the AF as a cop but he did 4 and got out…We just connected on Facebook
He lives in Georgia & was a Sheriff deputy & then retired as a Federal Air Marshal….
His town in Georgia lost power for several days after the hurricane, no real damage other than trees down all over & trapped in his area
He has a backup generator that runs his freezers/fridge but not his electric stove & such, the generator is maxed out with his 2 chest freezers & such
They finally cut the way out & he was venturing forth with his wife, daughter & grand baby
He was debating what handgun to carry & ended up with a old school Sig 229 in 357Sig in a concealed leather holster with 3 extra mags
People were very polite and helpful, saw some shotguns, rifles and handguns openly carried
We chatted about his choice of handgun & it was his favorite handgun as an Air Marshal & he was extremely accurate with it….and concealed cuz why advertise
Got me thinking, what one handgun would I carry in that scenario & how
Really don’t know, more than likely a concealed G19 as it’s light & bombproof
Thoughts???

Simple. Carry the one you're sure you can hit with under stress. Power or no power, same advice.
