I agree that the scenarios are changing dramatically with the times. I’ve travelled extensively to some of the most crime ridden areas of the US and previously never felt the need to be armed, largely because the crime that involved shooting had a specific context between people or groups of people like gangs. Sure you could be unlucky and catch a stray, but that would happen either way. The mass shooter increase has changed my opinion, so now I carry everywhere, but still, against a dude with a rifle and maybe body armor it’s seems likely one or two shots is all the opportunity you’ll have to stop them before thirty rounds or more of rifle power is going to be focused on your location. If those shots are not powerful enough to at least knock the wind out of a person and break some ribs through body armor I think it’s a dire situation. Sometimes I think the Ruger Alaskan 2.5” snub in .454 Casull is the right edc, but it’s big and heavy and I wish it had more capacity. Trade offs. 😒
