In reply to the discussion: Estimating the Number of DGUs [View all]jckelly
(9 posts)15. I'm afraid any list of so-called DGUs is chock full of criminal acts
Just a anecdotal story. Was working as a bartender on the side as a young man in the Navy, Went to make the night deposit on the way home. Was approached by two men when I was walking up to the bank. One asked what I was doing, the other pulled a knife out of his coat, and asked how much did I have. I opened my coat, and showed them the 1911 I had tucked into my waistband. They both turned and walked away. No shooting, nothing reported. But by the OP's standard, not a legitimate DGU, because I too was a criminal, as I had no CWP, in state (Cali) that wouldn't give me one.
