I've been asking myself this question for a long time. Now that I can legally CC, I need to make a decision. I managed to live 40years without a gun on me, I'm trainned and could handle myself in an altercation...but. really I've avoided trouble by foresite and common sense...On the other hand, times are getting more violent, people more despirate, brazen and just plain stupid. I'd never be able to forgive me if situation happened and I could not defend my family or myself because I was "unarmed". So, the decision is heavily leaning toward CC.
If I do get a CC weapon its going to have to be sub-compact, like a Ruger LCP, Bursa Thurnder or KalTec P3AT, something I can have on me and\or at quick disposal all the time. A bigger gun is out of the question, I don't plan to fight a war with it, the main reasoning is to have it on hand "if ever needed" in my case, the bigger the gun the less I can have it with me. I have an M&P 9mm "in the house" actually accessing it for defense or carrying it concealed won't work. Imo, the .380s' above are perfect for the job, they can be pocketed, ItB\ankle hostered or tossed in a belt or back pack.
Any opinions on this?
