Haha.. wow, you would never hear that here in Canada.For carrying one yourself all the time, consider a Beretta 92fs with 2 15 round magazines.
There are soo many rules just to take a pistol to a shooting range. You need a whole bunch of licenses, you need at least 2 safes, one for the gun and one for the ammo, you need to have a trigger lock and if you do decided to take it out you have to go straight to the shooting range with no detours, you cannot stop anywhere else but your house and the shooting range. Or else you get in big big trouble.
