Some additional information.....

The Kel-Tec was carried with an empty chamber because of its peculiar characteristics. When the slide is jacked, the hammer is moved to the half-cock position. The hammer is shrouded. It is impossible to move the hammer to full cock or to let it down. I did not feel comfortable carrying it half cocked all the time.

I took my concealed carry class with a S&W 632 Super-Kitgun. It is a J-frame with a 4" barrel, adjustable sights, and in .32 Magnum. I have a Rob Leahy pancake holster for it, but that is not concealed when I take the coat off. That is why I have never really carried it concealed. It worked great for passing the course, though.

The thing about the Kel-Tec is that it has never (to my knowledge) been spotted on me and I have carried into a lot of places that have "gun-free-zone" decals on the door.

I was asked here what I would have done if I had my gun in my hand when he turned 90 degrees and started walking towards me. I think I would have started shooting until the gun was empty. I can hit what I aim at with any gun I own. If not, I get rid of it.

I shoot a lot of CAS with my 41 Long Colts and Uberti 38-40 lever-action. I would not have tried drawing on him with even that rig when he had his gun pointing at me.
