I live a quiet life in a quiet town. I'm not a police officer or a drug dealer or an international spy. Therefore a gunfight is an unlikely event for me. Most of the stranger on stranger violent crime faced by folks like me would come at the hands of an amateur, poorly armed criminal nearly as scared as I.
So I carry a tiny .38 snubbie. If I stumble into a gang banger shootout, I won't have enough firepower to fight my way out. I don't have the skill, anyway. If one or five shots of .38 special to center mass don't stop or dissuade the bad guy I meet on the worst day of my life, my luck has run out. I'm betting my life on the very good chance that never happens.
