I’ll add this.. I’ve only pulled a gun for defense once. It was a 22 revolver, and there were 8 guys. If they rushed me, I’d have been able to get one, or at best two shots off.
They didn’t rush me. They didn’t do the math and say “8-6=2, we can take him!” They didn’t laugh at the .22 hole in the barrel. I had taken it with me to do some plinking, and it was what I had. Ended up leaving without shooting.
I’d much rather carry without a round in the chamber than not carry. And since this article is aimed at ladies, some of whom keep their guns floating around in a purse...

Chances are that the lady that is carrying one floating around in her purse is not going to be able to rack a pistol in an emergency ...
That’s another good topic for us ladies, where to carry. I have a few friends who carry in their purse. I much prefer on the body carry.
And while I’m at it, J Crew has some button down shirts out now for women that are cut a little looser and are divine for concealed carry.
