As seen here, some people can be hard to stop.

I don't give a hoot if you can see it or not
Well sir, I hate to put it quite this way, but if you see it, it is a figment of your imagination.

To believe that the occupations of defenders or the locations of use of force incidents would at all influence the number of shots necessary to stop an attacker timely does not compute, from the standpoint or rational deductive reasoning.

Denialism

Carrying something minimal like a pocket 380 is understandable if limited by work attire, "best one can do" - I've been there and wasn't content with it.

best one can do =/= best one is willing to do

When one is not limited by work attire, some intentionally limit their carry, unwilling to "dress around" a larger pistol or expend the effort of putting on a holster.
They justify/rationalize a minimal gun like a pocket 380 as sufficient for protecting them in the "good" area where they are doing whatever.
"Anticipated threat" in the "good" area is conveniently envisioned as a solo undetermined anemic attacker that runs away at the sight of a gun.
To entertain the idea that an armed attacker (much less 2 of them) like in the videos might be encountered might make one consider carrying "more".
Nah. Nope. That aint likely to happen [insert additional rationalization(s)] Thanks, denialism; pocket gun it is. ;)

I also see this reasoning when defending pocket carry as just as fast as belt carry. The argument is it is fast if your hand is in your pocket (true), but presupposes that you will always see the encounter coming and be able to place your hand into said pocket.

Videos and accounts show that blitz attacks and ambushes happen pretty darned often.

Not that pocket carry is bad, if that's your thing or what you need to do to carry anything but getting a hand in your pocket quickly and possibly in an awkward position is a negative that needs to be considered.
