I'm starting to think about this also, with all the snow on the ground! You are stranded if there is 2+ feet of snow on the ground, and the roads are impassable. :eek:

I don't tote guns around but know plenty of them you can hide in a coat pocket holster quite well. One of my EDC flashlights weighs 14oz and rides there just fine.
Easy! I was just agreeing with you! :)

No brandishing/out of pocket or holster allowed! Why give up the advantage of the element of surprise! The people that know you are carrying are in the church. The people outside the church don't! :)

If he likes Buck, the Buck 110 folder is very good and the fixed blade Vanguard would suit him well! If you want to get him a Spyderco then one of the Moran fixed blades, along with a Delica would be ideal! :)

Native frn and Stretch frn are my most carried knives because they fit my hand especially well and after about 15 seconds I don't know they're there! :) :spyder:
