"do you carry a side arm?" - Not while hunting. It's illegal in MA. When not hunting I do carry one like a wallet.

"what kind/caliber?" - A S&W 9mm or a Ruger 38 Special

&quot;your reason?&quot; - Don't trust anyone.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;have you ever been in a situation to use it?&quot; No, thankfully.
