...when facing a man whose pistol is in his truck is the pistol you are carrying at the time.
An instructive and amusing anecdote related by Kyle Lamb in the Lock, Stock & Barrel column of the August 2014 Guns & Ammo magazine.
He encountered a fellow at a local gun shop who was expounding to all present on the many advantages of what he considered to be the ideal carry gun. He then asked Kyle what his favorite carry gun was. Kyle replied that his favorite was whatever he was carrying at the time--a Bersa .380 on that particular occasion.
The "expert" was amused and let his amusement be known. Lamb asked him where his pistol was and the expert, no longer amused, admitted somewhat sheepishly that it was in his vehicle.
Lamb then made the comment that is paraphrased to title this post. His point, of course, was that carrying all the time is far more important than what you choose carry.
