As a newspaper reporter, I tend to collect enemies, and for a time this spring I had an honest-to-God stalker who claimed he was a ninja and even posted videos on youtube trying to prove that to me. I was never for sure, by the way, why this wing nut was angry with him.

Until the WV State Police arrested him for a short time in June, I seemed to go everywhere with a 642 and a Glock 26. My 642 was and continues to be loaded with glasers because I surmised that if I had to shoot him it would likely be up close and Id have to shoot the gun dry. Also, due to an accident, I walk with a cane, and no way I can run away from the goblin. If the dude would decide to attack, my only option was to point it at his blow hole and hope for the best. My Glock 26 is loaded with 11 rounds of 127 gr cor bon DPX with two extra glock 19 mags similarly stoked.

My biggest fear, to be honest, was not him taking me on head on, I decided that if I could get my hand on either of my 2 guns I could shoot the goblin to the ground. No, my worry was my 77-year old dad and my 74 year old mother. I live next door to them and neither can hear well.

Sounds like you are prepared.

I also do the Smith 642/Glock 26 combo for carry sometimes. Heavier would be a full size Glock 20/etc in 10mm. I’ve Winchester Ranger T +p+ 127 grains for 9mm. CorBon Dpx is pricey, but from what I’ve read it’s the most modern and effective cartridge choice.
