I will be taking a CC class in the next few weeks and hope to get my CC permit by summer. I am trying to decide on what CC gun and caliber to get.
To be honest I am not sure how much I will carry around town (I am sure i will some) my main reason for getting a CC and carying a gun will be to have somehting when I take my family camping to have some protection against the two leg variaty as well as possible couger and bear problems.
I also want to carry when I bowhunt as I had a couger follow me for a about 50 yards last fall on the bowhunt . Caliber wise I want something that will work against the threat of people, cougers, and black bears and in a gun that is not too heavy or bulky, my wife already teases me that I carry everything but the kitchen sink in my backpack when hunting.
I have around $400 to spend on a gun. I am leaning toward a Bersa Thunder 45ACP Ultra Compact or a Springfield XD 45 compact.
