Knifeguy....really excellant post! I would like to carry a DogFather...cus it's huge and cool, and I could justify the purchase better....to my wife.... I do pack a machete from time to time as I do landscape work and at time I have to clear areas and such. It is not always practical, but replaced my hatchet this past year. I really enjoyed all your information.

Prince of Peace, you could come over to Indiana where we have great gun laws. I have a pistol with me everyday... No problem EDCing my Keltec .380, I don't even know it is there.
