I think Glenn Meyer's post #101 is the best response to this entire thread.
Training is paramount. People who do not have any training have this misconception of rising to the occasion with the utmost of bravery and accuracy.
Please, train. Get a good pistol and train.
I carry 2 spare reloads on me and there are 2 in my EDC bag.
A good friend of mine said, the only times carrying too much ammo could harm you is if you're in a fire or drowning.
I also want to note, that psychologically one copes with their decision whether it's based on comfort or anything else, by stating certain "facts" that hold no weight. Such as "if I can't do it in 5 rounds (nonsense)"
I think the reason why people "chest thump" back at these people, is because this is a serious matter. Not Ford versus Chevy. This is a mindset that could potentially save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Take it seriously.
Separate gun enthusiasm from self defense. They're two very different things.
