Next time your shooting your “mouse gun” (I do carry a M&P Bodyguard 380 alot) or “pocket pistol” and someone talks crap about it then ask them this, “would you want to get shot with it?” That normally solves that problem. Any gun you carry be it s cannon or a small .22 is better than no gun at all. Now, that doesn’t mean it is effective in stopping the threat quickly or with “one shot”.
I've carried my P380 instead of my G26 three times now since that video came out. I'm lazy, or a believer. Take your pick.
I carry my M&P Bodyguard 380 a lot in the summer because when I don’t want to carry a bigger gun because it’s easy to conceal in sweat/gym type shorts. Now the winter my Glock 19 and M&P9c go regularly with the 380 as my BUGI've carried my P380 instead of my G26 three times now since that video came out. I'm lazy, or a believer. Take your pick.
"Average" gun carriers are basically lazy and will carry anything that is more comfortable than a full size piece. I will agree that any gun is better than no gun, but so is a rubber band compared to a feather.
He never mentions anything about projectile weight or velocity, important considerations. And then there's the matter of being effective on the attacker. If it's not effective at stopping the bad guys actions immediately then it's not something that should be carried.
Personally, I carry the same gun, winter, summer and fall. ONE set of controls, ONE position, same position every time. If/when crap comes to a head I know exactly where my gun is and exactly what it takes to get it into action.
And another thing, was everybody in Special Forces, Rangers and whatnot?? Wasn't there any "regular" Army/Navy/Marine guys that ever served??
What gun are you carrying?
I don't wanna get shot with a super soaker full of pee...but that doesn't mean it's a good carry option.Next time your shooting your “mouse gun” (I do carry a M&P Bodyguard 380 alot) or “pocket pistol” and someone talks crap about it then ask them this, “would you want to get shot with it?” That normally solves that problem.

If you disengage to prevent being shot with a super soaker full of pee, then it was a good carry optionI don't wanna get shot with a super soaker full of pee...but that doesn't mean it's a good carry option.
I had to show my .25 to a guy who was coming at me at a fast walk, and he got a look and turned right around and left. But I feel better with my .380....and hope I never have to let anyone see it!Lcp in the summer, lc9s spring and fall and Taurus .44 spl snubbie in winter or whenever heavier clothing will still permit concealment.
I have had to use a handgun to defend myself twice in my life. (I am 72). In both cases it was not necessary to fire the weapon. Clearly, for me, caliber did not matter
