I think what you say is very much the truth of the matter; you want as much firepower as you can handle/conceal. You would rather have extra and not need it than the reverse.
EXACTLY SO.

I am reminded of the WISE words of “The Polish Falcon”, who was one of our senior instructors when I was a student at USAMPS’ MPOBC.
(He said to our class one day, “Gentlemen, It may possibly be that you will complete your law enforcement career without getting into a single shooting incident & are never required to use deadly force to protect yourself or another person.” [PAUSE] He continued, “It is also very possible that you will be forced to exchange gunfire with a criminal to preserve your life or another person’s life.” [PAUSE] “Should that VERY BAD DAY come into your life, you will need a gun on that WORST OF ALL days & on that day you will need a gun BADLY. ——— Thus you should always go about your daily duties armed.”
“The Falcon” told us that over 50 years ago & I have never forgotten his advice. - YES, I have had more than one of the “very bad days” that he spoke of.
(All these long years later, I still carry a handgun concealed every day.)
