In my 73 years I have had two occasions where I thought I might have to use the gun I had on me. Both were tense situations. One was at a rest area north of Birmingham, AL at 2:00am & the other was at a local boat ramp at 5:00am. I did not feel powerful having the pistol, but I did indeed feel more secure.

I don't feel like I am a threat to anyone while I have a gun on me.

I also have no problem with an individual's choice of what weapon to carry whether it be a single shot pistol or a fully automatic weapon.
