I noticed that for the past month or so, I really haven't been carrying my gun with me very much. It just stays in the car for the most part.
Disregarding that I'm on ss, and would welcome someone killing me on the street, without a lot of training, using a gun in a self-defense situation is very tough. I would always just carry a small 380 in my pocket. I hated carrying a bigger gun in a holster. Even if I did, ccw holsters are tough to get to in a seconds count kind of way. They are not like the open carry holsters cops use.
Using a gun is about creating space. If someone can touch you, a gun will be very hard to use.
What I have been carrying instead is a type of knife called a karambit. You can look it up, but what I like about it is it will take two hands of someone bigger and stronger than you to control that knife in one of your hands. That leaves you 3 limbs to get out of the situation.
