No real-world situations encountered or expected here. I live in southwest Utah. No permits required and all the fellas I know in this small city either have something on them or in their vehicle or both. I'm pretty sure a good majority of the population here is armed and I believe the bad guys know this about Utah, so I feel safe enough to only carry a NAA 1860 Earl with a conversion cylinder when I go rockhounding in the desert or fossil hunting in the mountains. You never know when a rabid rabbit or ticked off rattler is going to cross your path!
In all seriousness, I moved out here in late 2019 from a city in Maryland that was only 14 miles south of Washington DC. The crime rate in all the years I lived there went from almost zero in 1960, to race and drug related murder and full-auto gunfire in what used to be our relatively safe and peaceful neighborhood just 10 years back. I still remember my dad leaving the car keys in the ignition of the old DeSoto in the driveway.
The crime rate here is what I remember from 1960 when I was 11 years old. I doubt I will live long enough to see the rate here get anywhere close to that 2019 rate in MD but maybe I should think about packing something anyway. The Earl would only tick somebody off unless it was a headshot, so my choices are limited to BP revolvers. Those choices are a Walker, an 1858 Remington, a LeMat, and a Starr. The Walker and Remington have conversion cylinders but the other two are strictly BP. Looks like I might need to do some shopping....
