Strive to carry the handgun you would want anywhere, everywhere.

Any time you are down my way AK, you are kindly invited down into our rabbit hole to try your hand out at our game. I promise you a good time. We can start off with the 380's. Like this standard session below of 200 rds before we move on to the Micro 9's or your choice of maybe a snubbie. Want to shoot bigger guns? We love to do that as well.
380 Brass-200 rds standard weekly training session. (Pocket gun)

PS Bring Plenty of ammo.

Guessing nothing has happened yet that merited lethal self defense for you in the suburb.
So the people typically encountered in the suburb have not been a threat, as of yet.
Reasonable to assume that threats meriting use of lethal force may come from elsewhere to the suburb.
If lethal force merits a 9mm in town wouldn't that also be desired in the suburb. (Rhetorical question, cause I think it does).[/QUOT

There are some parameters that can guide you needs:

- Threat assessment based on location. If am I working/hiking on or near my property, the highest threat is four-legged, specifically cats or bears. This is a concept that is foreign to many urban defensive experts who only validate two-legged threats. My choice in such a location is different than what I would select in town.

- Concealabilty based on environment. Once again, regardless of experts, your carry choice can be dictated by the degree of NPE. Not everyone can function in their job or required social environment carrying a full-size duty gun IWB. Everybody who carries a gun is not retired, self-employed, or able to stay in their bunker once it gets dark. A compact discreet carry gun is sometimes the only viable choice.

In some areas, you can get the trifecta of two-legged, four-legged, AND highly delayed LEO or medical response if they can even be contacted at all due to poor commo coverage (see my other recent scenario thread in S&T). That's were weapon choices get real interesting.
