Sure agree with you Skeet, and fire is very dangerous. Always admired fire fighters, did some forest fire work when I was young, found out fire was not my calling. My dad was Ass't. Chief of our local VFD where I grew up, and they did a lot of training way back then.

Forest fires
 

Learned a long time ago that I didn't need to fight forest fires. Couple of guys from the dept were talked into it..One told me he thought he was gonna die fighting a fire somewhere in SD I think..he said the mountains there were a LOT different than the ones in Maryland.. I tried to tell 'em that before they signed up. He didn't think the fire was gonna get him either..it was the terrain and altitude..He lived at 90 ft altitude..What are the Black Hills?? Gummit tried to recruit me to train in Saudi Arabia too.. Tax free etc etc etc..Big bucks too. I actually knew better..especially when the gummit tries to recruit ya.. I have an acquaintance who is now training the troops in Afghanistan I think in urban police work..He was enticed by the dark side.... of too much money and no tax

It depends what you prefer
 

I have several 9mm handguns and do carry them from time to time. All the best...

Gil, do you have one you prefer over the other or not?

My Glock 26 is stuffed with 10rds Federal 9mm 115gr HP +P+ @1300fps. I'm not too worried about getting the job done.
