Chuck Hawks is a full of himself idiot that comes up every now and then. No credentials, no experience, no credibility. The tool even gives himself awards because nobody else will. Read his article on S&W for stunning stupidity and outright misinformation.

On topic, I call anyone who carries a handgun for Alaskan bears lunch, which is what they are destined to be. If carrying one makes you feel good, that's fine. Just be aware that the chances of it actually working are slim to none.
