That Ruger LCP makes a nice pocket gun. Only 6+1 shots, but if I need more than that I'm probably screwed anyway.

They rip the #### out of your sleeper and don't put your sheets back on.
Dot has been in one time.
Border patrol at laredo has looked in 100s of times off the step.
Delivered to prisons you put all your electronics in a box and they take a quick peep in your sleeper under the hood side boxes while a dog sniffs. (You are in-between two fences while a guard tower looks at you) usually you see the prisoners at the yard staring you down(probably thought I was pretty).
Military bases pretty much left me alone they just asked questions.
Those are some examples of my personal experiences of people going thru my ####.
Happened fairly frequently to me.God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
The best weapon is situation specific.
A tire checker baton type hardwood stick is a good all around attitude adjuster.
In reference to firearms, I advocate the largest caliber you can put rounds on target with consistently.
Having been a firearms instructor, I've been asked this question many many times, and I always give the same answer.
Spray and pray is only valid in the movies and with belt fed machine guns.
Self defense application is different.
In high stress situations, fine motor skills suffer badly, and while you may be able to shoot smiley faces in paper targets, that oh sheet moment will render very different results, I guarantee.
Accuracy is dependent on training.
Train for worst case scenario.
High stress situations will always revert you to your most basic primal training.
In Marine Corps security force training, we simulated the high stress situation with physical activity and distraction...
Think 2 minutes of aerobics nonstop, then having 3 crazed drill instructors screaming and fussing at you while you're trying to put rounds down range accurately.
It's a situation you never ever want to be in, being faced with the choice of kill or being killed, and really you can never be fully prepared for it.
If you intend to carry, get training .
Formal training from a reputable firm specialized in carry and combat applications.
You'll also learn the legal ramifications of carry, the responsibilities you bear, and what not to say in the event you have to neutralize a threat.
The cops don't care about your rights.
They want to solve the situation and close the case.
You need training to ensure you protect yourself, and to avoid situations where deadly force is in question.
There are times when it's appropriate, and times it's not.
Learn the difference.
Never pull unless it's absolutely necessary to protect life and limb.
Avoid situations and places that are suspect or high risk.
Train, train, and train some more.
Then, keep training even more.
If you haven't put 2500 rounds downrange with your chosen sidearm, I would advocate waiting until you have to carry.aussiejosh, firemedic2816, SoulScream84 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Colt 1911 45 or my Glock 9mm, Like Carl Maudlin said "Don't Leave Home without them". As far as entering Unnamed location, Where I go have lock boxes, weapons cameras and phones go into the lock box, you take the key and retrieve your stuff while going thru the exit process.
TripleSix Thanks this. -
Chinatown Thanks this.
