Bodyguard .380 or the M&P 40c?

The .380 is the one you will carry every time you leave the house. The .40 is the one you will wish you had if you ever need it.

Life is full of compromises. Neither choice is bad -- it is your mindset, along with willingness and ability to use the tool you have, that really matters.
 
I carry a 40Compact daily due to lightweight and just a long shirt buttoned if loose fitting or not if tight over a BlackHawk Serpa I also have a Minotaur IWB that is quite comfortable wearing the same with less problems of printing or wind blowing and such!

This is of course a rhetorical question would you want to have stopping power or conceivability because once you draw your weapon it is no longer concealed now is it?

Someone might notice a bulge on your hip but it could just be a cell phone and your behavior would indicate whether you have a gun or not, so what is your life worth? I am a man of small stature and I want to be able to stop any threat with the least amount of effort except in how to conceal until needed (hopefully never) any weapon I am carrying and have been doing so for quite some time.

However I do not look for trouble or go to bars and try not to get into bad places like unfamiliar neighborhoods. Plus I am older and unassuming to meet and certainly not a threat to others. Let's just say I want to live until I can retire in a few years, so you do your thing and I'll do mine unless you doing your thing makes me have to shoot you, and I do shoot quite well!
