Possible buts its possible I could be awake and posting on ET and hear them. Generally criminals dont commit crimes against people that they know are armed so chances are they wont come back knowing there is a high risk of getting shot
You are right, the odds are that petty criminals won't be back. But as society continues to stratify I think it's safe to assume that the motive to try will only grow. Edit: Lol @ "I could be awake and posting on ET and hear them." No way! Really, you?? ; )
While I like the feel of the Walther PPK/S I've never been fond of .380 for self-defense as it's the poor-mans cousin to the 38 special which was never a particularly strong round. But, as always, the first rule of a gunfight is to make sure you bring a gun, and if the .380 is the one you actually have with you and not sitting in your dresser at home then it's the BEST caliber in the world. For home defense it's easy to have heavy "artillery", but for pocket-carry I prefer the 9mm as it has considerably more punch than the .380 and the guns are often not any bigger. In fact these days most of the manufacturers are focusing on small, single-stack magazine 9mm just for that purpose and there are many excellent choices on the market -- Kimber Solo, Ruger LC9, Kel-Tec PF9, Kahr PM9 and CM9, Sig P290, etc.
I agree re. the 380acp and am looking at the Kimber. I love my Crimson Carry for bedtime but to me. it's too big to carry. My BD is coming up and I'll drop a hint to wifey as she got me the Kimber a while ago. Thanks for your comments. Seneca
