I agree that carrying gives a person confidence that may help win the outcome of the situation but on the same tolken I have seen younger people (21 yr) get 10 foot tall and bulletproof with one which may lead to a very bad outcome. Of the times in which my firearm has helped and even saved my butt over the years (many times unfortunately) I have learned a few things. 1)Caliber means nothing as long as it's descent and with a repectable bullet ..2) confidence and practice with what you carry means alot.. 3) shot placement means everything . Above all BEING AWARE and able to detect a bad situation is the most important self defense while remaining calm in order to think with a clear mind in order to defuse or defend from the situation is paramount. I know that many will disagree with the caliber statement but a miss with a your 44 mag while the baddie pumps you full from a Lorcin 25 is a bad thing lol.
