Applying for my CWP
I'm in the courthouse right now getting my CWP. I'm bored and waiting for them to fingerprint me. I will carry a Glock 26 once my license arrives. Anyone else packin heat?

I will be getting my license soon, not sure what I'm going to carry yet.

Im pretty sure if i had a 12 gauge strapped across my back i wouldnt be allowed in any store. I bet you someone would "****" with me. The police would probably come and ask all sorts of questions. I could upgrade to a .40 but i believe the 9mm with HP's will stop any threat. Ive shot a .40 and didnt like the recoil. Carry the biggest caliber than you can handle right? 1 shot with a .22 is better than 5 missed shots with the .45 right?

A .22 has only one use for human targets, close range suppressed terminations, very popular with clandestine folks.

G26/27 is a good choice for small-framed people. Sounds like you've done your research in shooting 9 vs 40. Nine is fine. Atlanta PD had more than a few one-shot stops using the Federal 9BPLE load (115gr +P+, sucker is moving) and that's an older design. Modern JHPs (Ranger T, Gold Dots, HST and the like) will work just fine.
I often carry a 37-2 when the weather is warm. Matte black finish, DAO with a factory bobbed hammer, forged parts, can handle +P, and no lawyer lock.

I carry a ppks and a p3at as my bug. I am very comfortable with .380 and know that shot placement with it will put down most people. I will be looking into a walther pps .40 for my next purchase.
