Malicious Intent?

[PegLeg45]

I have a special set of circumstances (a disability) that would prevent me from fleeing from a potential bad person.
So, the numero uno concern for me is RELIABILITY.
I carry what I know, through trial and error, to be the most reliable firearm and ammo combo for me.
Which in summer is a Glock 27 in .40, and in the one month of winter (south Ga) a Commander in .45.
Both are stacked with Cor-Bon 200 gr. JHP because it has proven over many years to be accurate, potent enough for the job, and most of all reliable (in my guns).
I guess the bottom line is I choose RELIABILITY first and LIABILITY second.

Test, Train, Test, and Train some more.

No one WANTS to shoot another human being, but if forced into it, be prepared.

Welcome to the site, PegLeg, and good choices for the CCW. I would chose a Sig P220 instead of the Glock, but then I'm already on the do-do list with the local Glock bigots here.

I basically only chose the Glock 27 for its size and weight for concealability. At the time I was still in a wheelchair and carry modes were an issue. Also, there wasn't a big selection of decent priced micro-1911's like the new EMP.
If I could trade my Glock, and get a decent price on a .40 EMP from SA, I'd probably ditch the Glock.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool 1911 fan but in the loooooong hot summers in south Georgia, the Glock was a sensible choice.

I keep reading about this charge in magazines. And I wanted to know the opinions of real ccw carriers and gun people, what is too much gun? And do you think about this at all or do you just slap on your .45 with the best self-defense load that you can find hoping to make the biggest wound possible?

I'm not looking for the "biggest wound possible". I'm looking for something, anything to STOP an attack. So are you.
Even if you miss and hit a tree, if the attack stops and you are still whole, it is a successful defense.

Also i guess also is carrying a 9mm with hydra shok something that would warrent this charge? And if a police officer should happen to pull you over in your car and you tell him you are carrying and you show him the proper ID can he\she look at you pistol and possibly charge you with this, or if maybe you have a rifle or shotgun in your car at the time?

I don't know about the laws where you are. In my neck of the Godforsaken desert woods, I can have a belt fed 50 in my car and nobody can snivel about it.
JHPs are safer due to less penetration. This has been documented and defended ad nauseum.

Carry what you can hit with. Even if it isn't fashionable.
 You're probably going to get sued civilly anyway, so it might as well be a healthy you that gets sued.

  You may get sued ,but with help from the "castle doctrine" you may get away unscathed if its in your home or vehicle. that is if your state has this law. I still say there are plenty of carry arms that wont single you out as a "gun nut" you should also be careful of "specialty ammo" you know those "cop killer " bullets like Black talons (oops)  note to self - change ammo. anyway, you get my drift.

All good comments and something to ponder.  I have a simple mind so...I can't ponder such things too deeply. 

As such, I can only see so far as to determine a real threat and have wit to act upon it.  I act only to stop the threat, not to kill, wound or maim in any way.  I only want to stop the threat.  I have no malicious intent, a guy at some gun shop (can't remember which one) recommended a particular ammunition to me to stop a threat.  I carry it by his recommendation.
