Re: What’s with the gun community

I don’t see people on this site as judgmental with respect to what people carry, which is great, but I agree with you that on some other sites it is pretty bad. So many will insist on trying to prove whether 9, 40, or 45 is best, while others say 380 is useless. None of that is true, the science is clear at this point, all standard handgun ammo is terrible compared to a rifle round.

My guess would be that the not so nice judgmental people who feel that have to carry around a certain caliber and a large number of rounds have to justify the discomfort they are forced to deal with every day. They do that by putting down others who carry “less.”

To give one example, the LCP II with Hornady Critical Defense FTX is a very effective self-defense tool that is extremely light and comfortable to carry. With practice it is not hard to shoot accurately and quickly. Many people on the web will tell you are crazy to carry something so small and ineffective. But ER surgeons, realistic ballistic tests, and homicide detectives will all tell you the opposite, it is great self-defense tool.

Practice, train, and carry something, but whatever that something is has to be up to each person. We should be encouraging people to practice and carry whatever they can, even if it is something small. The average person has no interest in changing their entire wardrobe, or wearing big over shirts in summer, a small light gun in a Sticky or Remora can work with almost any outfit.
