[QUOTE="wenn_du_weinst, post: 7811963, member: 576676"] Buying a gun because something bad has happened is one of the worst things you can do. Panic buys usually end up causing trouble. You will need a firearm to be an extension of your body if you plan to defend you/some one else. If you fumble with drawing or miss your target your much better off not doing anything at all, and in most cases your worse off. Every true enthusiast that carries a gun daily knows that you only draw at the very last possible second, that is after running and calling authorities(if it's possible) I have a gun on me 99.9% of the time, not because I'm scared I will have to use it, but because you need to be comfortable with it. I am sitting in my house in a town with **** near 0 crime, and no way far myself to be attacked, and I have a fully loaded 1911 sitting 2" to my right and 7 other unloaded weapons a few feet away. The biggest problem with people that are new to carrying is them not feeling comfortable with have the gun cocked and locked ready to fire, you will NOT have time to rack the slide or switch a safety off. The best possible self defense firearm to carry is the revolver, it will not jam, it will fire every time you pull the trigger and it will stop the assailant with proper shot placement.
