The Burlington, WA mall shooting a couple days ago took place about five mins from the college I'm attending. I carry a Glock 19 most days, but obviously not at school. At any rate, the shooting at the mall kinda re-ignited my interest in picking up an alternative, smaller pistol for CC at times the G19 is less desirable for one reason or another. I'm leaning primarily toward the Ruger LCP.
Came across this TTAG article on "small" guns just now and it seemed kinda insane to me. Literally, having no gun at all is better than having a small gun? Because (1) you'll probably miss anyway, (2) you'll just piss off the bad guy resulting in the escalation of violence, and (3) you'll overlook a better option than using the gun.
I'm pretty darn sure this wasn't intended to be satire, but with reasons like those, surely I'm wrong. (You're just going to piss him off? Really??) Or do people really feel that way? What do you think about carrying a mouse gun or small gun in certain situations?
