So do you. You have determined that whatever you carry is appropriate for YOUR threat potential.The author conflates the likelihood of occurrence of a risk with what would be required to mitigate it once it has occurred.
How many guns do you carry routinely? (rhetorical question) If you only carry one it should be two. If it's two it should be three. After all, if a 5 shot revolver is inadequate because you may be attacked by 6 or more assailants (or 3 silhouette targets shoulder to shoulder AKA El Presidente drill) then isn't a 17 shot spray-and-pray inadequate because you might be attacked by 18 assailants?
Everything in life; EVERYTHING, requires a risk/benefit analysis. Your analysis may be different than someone else's. That doesn't mean that, by default, theirs is wrong.
