Yes Kieth so true. But our Nation was a safer place 50 years ago.
Actually, in terms of unlawful homicides, we have never been safer since we began compiling statistics. Our homicide rate is presently 3.9 per 100k. The next lowest point over the last century was 4.5 per 100k in 1955.
Oh, I don't know about that. Riots were frequent, there were assassinations, and I was doing "hide under your desk" drills in elementary school.Yes Kieth so true. But our Nation was a safer place 50 years ago.
That's very true, I do work in two trauma centers levelI would imagine modern GS trauma procedures have had a lot to do with this.

I, we have a high rate of surviving after the shooting in regards of rescue teams or police getting into scene in minutes.
I saw many calibers I can measure them. However, few 45 or 40 survive or arrived to the hospital.
So, if I have no choice I would grab a 380. Otherwise, no.
My choice: 45, then 40, but since I ve been training with 9 for years. I keep it

Well you know about the Sidewinder. They will hunt you.And you can't count on Mojave's to run just because you're making noise and letting your presence be known. Many times they don't skeedaddle like other snakes.
Would You Trust Your Life With A .380?
And I hope to live out my life not needing my firearm, but may not have that choice. So if the need arises...Yes.
I survived my first 50 yrs mostly unarmed.
...but would never carry .380 when I have another choice.Truth is, a LOT of things would have to fall into just the right order for me to be forced to "trust my life" to any firearm in active defense.
It is amazing how the facts are ignored. Chicago alone has an incredible modern day homicide rate.Don't forget:
Twin towers
Boston Marathon
Pulse nightclub
School shootings
Theater shootings
Airport shooting
Army base shootings
Workplace shootings
There's a huge opportunity for a paper here to back the observation about caliber. Since 85% of people make it to the hospital, and the vast majority survive across all calibers including long guns -- if 40 and 45 represent an aberration in terms of death rates that would be surprising, to say the least.
