I conceal carried for approximately 40 years and I carry the same pistol never changed it up. I carried a Walther PPK 380 auto nickel plated, I like the size of it. Because one could tell I was carrying when I carried that weapon. I had a simple philosophy for conceal carry never pull a gun. Never let anyone see the gun unless you're gonna shoot someone. Mid 1990s in a restaurant in Tacoma Washington I was faced with a situation where I had to pull my gun. My wife and I were having dinner when a very large guy came into the restaurant and stabbed the customer three tables down from us, and I clearly saw the whole thing.
I jumped up and immediately told him to stop, at that point, the guy started coming after me. Again I told him to stop twice but he just kept coming, so I double tapped his ass dead center of mass. To make a longer story short, the prosecutor for Tacoma Washington decided after viewing video and witness statements that I was justified in shooting this guy so no charges were pressed against me. Approximately a month later, I went down to the Tacoma police station and picked up my pistol. That's the end of the story.
