It's obvious watching the news, and an actual shooting here in June about 10 minutes from my house (five individuals stole items from the Sinclair Fuel Station at 2012 North Trekell Road in Casa Grande, Arizona. When a store employee followed them, one of the suspects fired gunshots, though no one was injured. The suspects were later arrested after a standoff with a SWAT team.) that increased violence is more often perpetrated by gangs and more than one individual. Is it better to have more than 5 rounds?
If the stats are accurate, the average bullet hit percentage is about 50% in a defense situation, so if I was defending myself against 5 bad guys, if I'm lucky it may take 10 rounds to land one shot per attacker, so much for double tapping.
One aspect of a defense carry is simply the level of mental security that it adds. When I'm at lunch with 3 to 12 of my range buddies, as we sit in a nice restaurant, or a rowdy sports bar, I know that at least 4 or 5 of them have a concealed carry firearm and know how to use it.
I comply with all Federal, State and private property laws, and restrictions. However, I don't judge my range buddies if they do not comply.
