I’ve been devoting some thought to the idea that gangs of thugs require semi automatic pistols with multiple magazines for self defense scenario. While I recognize that some people may live in a circumstance that necessitates these preparations, a large caliber powerful revolver is all I am willing to carry for self defense, for a number of defensible reasons. There are some scenarios, simply put where you may find yourself, surrounded, outgunned, and frankly fucked no matter what you do. I think this is an important piece of cognitive floss for anyone who chooses to carry, as an illusion of grandeur is not only dangerous to yourself, but also those around you. You may afford yourself the opportunity to stop a terrible tragedy in progress by issuing a few well placed shots, you may die in the process of doing so, but in any case a response with a gun is rarely justified without shots fired by the assailant, and a shot or two is all you are likely to get. The acid test for involving your firearm should be, is there a case where I could be wrong in my assessment of this circumstance? Shots fired in a public place? Not likely. Otherwise, play it cool, act like a victim and try to escape without being a hero or an unwitting villain. #gunstr #selfdefense #firearm
