My shooting and cigar buddy Tony (retired First Sergeant, his wife makes fudge for me at Christmas) has a Smith & Wesson .32 revolver which belonged to his grandfather. Tony's grandfather was a black circuit preacher in Tennessee back in the '30s, '40s, and '50s. He carried that .32 with him to protect his family from Democrats- Democrats in white sheets.
Tony carries a Glock, and protects his home with an AR-15.
