be prepared.
I won't debate politics and do not care about advertising, I'd have that, but not at the crazy price as I can get a full size weapon for that, and to be honest a 38 derringer, which is cheap, is as good close up, which is what the little weaons like that are for, when one is being mugged or cornered etc.
I protected myself with a .45 handgun and avoided being physically harmed. I am glad to have had it in-hand and ready to fire when I confronted 4 burglars at 3 AM. I am happy there were 9 rounds in the magazine. The burglars were not happy that I had it. Not at all, no, the criminals were certainly not pleased with me at all. Based on the number of burglars encountered at once and the level to which drugs can fortify the criminal's or addict's body against damage for the short time necessary to reach the home's defender or potential victims, I subsequently obtained a similarly powerful handgun with 15 rounds capacity. I would not like to run out of ammunition, that would be embarrassing. Burglars are not such harmless sneak thieves and won't always leave or be scared off. They are violent criminals on drugs who will do anything to avoid jail, really they behave more like blood-crazed zombies than anything else. Upon discovery, they may simply stand there and then suddently attack, or attack right away, or do nothing -keep working or stealing whatever. It's not worth the risk to be unprepared. They are very pitiful people but more dangerous than a grizzly bear. There is an imaginary line about 20 FT away. If the assailant is able to move inside that line, the defender may be injured before he has a chance to stop the attack. It's no good to have shot your assailant dead if he has stuck a knife in your gut on the way down. That is from a policeman.
