Your assumption that I've never been envenomed by a snake is correct, though I have been bitten by a cottonmouth. I was just freaking lucky.

You are wrong in your assumption that I have no friend who have been bitten. In my lifetime I have had 2 close friends severely bitten, also by cottonmouths. Both of them survived though one suffered permanent nerve damage to his hand and lost a lot of tissue. One of those guys is a physician and the other is a field biologist. Neither of them goes around killing venomous snakes and they feel about it much as I do.

I know people who have been maimed and a couple who were killed in traffic accidents. I have yet to shoot a car.

Why do you need hand guns, planning on something?

Only Jack Bauer needs a gun.
You're joking, right?

I have small hands. I have an old (1969) PPK in .380 and it fits just right. It has a natural point of aim for me and returns right to it after firing. At 7-25 yards it is very accurate. Bought it used a long time ago and it was expensive then.

And when "they" illegally use the instant-check to find that you own one that is now banned, what do you do?

I have never fired the Seecamp, but I know the Kel-Tec is a lot more affordable.

That said, from my own experience I would hesitate to buy a Kel-tec if I didn't have the manufacturer within driving distance from me. I had a problem with stove pipe ejection issues on the gun. Not uncommon with the Kel-tec. I took it to the manufacturer where they took it to the back for 15 minutes to fluff and buff the gun. When they were done they tested it with several different loads. It preformed flawlessly and I haven't had a problem with it since. Great customer service, if you're close to them.

IMHO, nothing is better for the money. Nothing fancy, very utilitarian, very dependable.

My primary weapon is a .40 Glock 22 with a Laser Max and night sights.

All of my handguns are loaded with hollow points and there's one in the chamber ready to go

No need for confusion. I like shooting as much as yourself, but I am wary.

Still, the question remains. If the government declares all of your weapons illegal, what do you do?

This is really two questions. What do you do in the case of such a declaration, and what do you do when they are at your door?

Answer 1 Hide them and hope the NRA/armed uprising fixes the issue. The Consitution does have a clause for this, thankfully. This country was founded by people who got fed up with the biggest most powerfull empire in the world at that time...and kicked their ass.

Answer 2 Empty a clip of 7.62 NATO rounds through the door.
