I ALWAYS carried myStar.45when iwent to Cleveland! I have had 5 hip replacements ,but when i was on Hip surgery #3 me and the wife had to go to University Hospital where my hip Dr. was,,we always took a certain route and 1 day in the Winter we didn't get out of the hospital untill 8:30 PM,,well the lady working the desk told my wife that we took the LONG WAY to and from the hospital and said we could cut a lot of time if we got off at 55th Street or something like that,,well i told the wife we would go that route the NEXT TIME!,,well she whined so i gave in,well we took a WRONG TURN somewhere,and ended up right in the middle of the "BAD" part of town,,my wife ALWAYS complained when i took my gun because i didnt have a permit back then(around 1992),,well that night when the people were walking up and looking in the car because we weren't the same as them,she was HAPPY i had it with me,,i just went out and put it in a "LOCKED" case inside the car while she was getting ready,i knew it wouldnt take LONG at all to get it,,and it DIDN'T!!! they didnt have CCW back then and i knew that with my hip just being ripped out not to long ago,i WOULDNT be able to hold off a Girl Scout in my condition.
BUT i went by the old adage,,i would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it,,needless to say we NEVER went that route again!
