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.
