I can tell that you have Easy Target written all over you ..get some training and confidence and it will go a long way.

Mike, I definitely agree. The "Gift of Fear" book is all he needs, actually (mental training), and probably some pepper spray. But those are my personal recommendations (from experience) for something uh "heavier".
The reason I prefer hammerless is due to snagging, specifically from a coat pocket or bag. And remember, 99% of crimes prevented with a gun, the gun is never fired. I've prevented two personally and did not fire.
In my youth, an army jacket with a confederate flag, a shaved head & doc martens did the trick. Now, I settle for a trenchcost & goatee. ;)
