It was late, I was traveling and I needed fuel. I knew it wasn't the greatest area but it was well lit and there were several people around so stopped to fuel up. The next thing I know there were two unsavory fellows approaching me, they were focused on me. So I got my Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV out of my back pocket and at the ready behind my back. They came to me and demanded money so I presented them with another option (my .410 double barrel shotgun) and they decided to go elsewhere. I didn't have to fire it, just presenting it sent the snakes scurrying away. I really love my Bond Arms Derringer. I really need to get one of the driving holsters. But I have the .410/.45 barrel 4.5", and a 3.5" .44 Special barrel, and am awaiting a .38/.357 barrel.
