    So which guns should I bring?

    At the end of June my ex-wife and I are taking our two kids to Florida for a ten day vacation. (Yes, I know that sounds strange but we are still good friends and do lot's of things together with/for our kids!)

    I have a Florida non-resident ccw so I have carried several times before on our trips there. For a primary weapon I have the following choices...

    1. Three inch Kimber 1911 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips
    2. Glock 27
    3. Sig Sauer .9mm
    4. Sig Sauer .380

    As back up I like to carry one of the followimg...

    1. Beretta .32
    2. S&W .38 snubby
    3. Two shot .32 derringer

    What say the peanut gallery?

    Bring whatever you are most comfortable to shoot with, just my 2 cents.

        I like them all, but the G27 is really light weight and I have a Serpa retention holster for it so I am leaning towards the Glock!

          I say carry all of them at once. 1 under each armpit, 2 on the small of the back, 1 in your right front pocket, and 1 on each ankle. Problem solved.

              I think the S & W would be enough for me. Do you really need back up?

                I certainly hope not, but one never knows for sure. I also have a ccw fanny pack, which I will bring as well. Wether or not I carry the backup will depend, in part, what I am wearing at any givin time. I have cargo shorts , which are great for ccw and 5.11 Tactical Gear shorts as well!

                  well since you dress around the gun. You should bring whatever gun you're clothes are going to cover up well.

                        I would say the Glock 27 and the S&W as back up.

                            For 10 days I take it your flying?

                            I hate trusting my weapons with friggin airlines. Got to do what you got to do.

                            Take the Bereetta and if it gets jacked, no loss.. JK

                              Smith and Wesson .38 Snub is what I would bring. Both because they're cheap to replace if airline does something stupid, easy to use and very concealable.
