I'm not saying everyone should walk around with an AR or your shotgun(That would cause segments of the population to act right though.). But tote something big enough to shoot fast and well.Never loaded 5.7 but 21 shots light recoil easy to hit things with sounds good. Yes the lcp or mini revolver hides easy but is 5 rounds of 22 mag or 6 rounds of 380 enough?
Situational awareness is key. I’m not planning to run into the gunfight with only a sidearm if I can use it to make my exit. I’ll get away and get my hands on some additional firepower. So to answer that question, yes the 5 or 6 rounds will be enough “most” of the time. If I’m going into New Orleans or Atlanta I’m toting a double stack mag with a spare. If I’m just going to town for bread and potatoes I’ll probably the Walther P22.
