"Toots" packs a Walther PPK. Used to belong to her Daddy! He carried it in the front pocket of his "bibbies" for as long as I can remember!
****er was absolutely deadly with the thing. He got it years and years ago to protect the family at the homestead from copperheads! Never knew they smelled like cucumber until I visited him in West by God Virginny back in the early '80's!
Funny you should mention copperheads. When I was dating Mrs. Diesel, while she still lived in WV, she warned me about the copperheads on her property. I had never seen one, and never saw one at her house.
However, about 3 months after she moved from WV to Virginia, we saw one out on the deck, at MY house. I have lived in this area for (at the time) 43 years, grew up on a farm, lived at this place for 17 years, and this was the first time I had ever seen a copperhead. Blacksnakes and garder snakes a plenty, but only one copperhead.
I told her it followed her here.
My ribs hurt for 2 weeks.
