There's a difference between people saying "I don't like small guns for self defense" and "You should buy a bigger gun"

Let's talk about it.<br><br>When someone doesn't like your small gun people don't like to consider the context. <br><br>To me, saying that small guns are bad for self defense 100% of the time is just as ignorant as saying that you should always carry a full size.<br><br>When I say that small guns aren't the best for self defense I'm talking about large men who have the ability to comfortably carry a full size handgun. I'm not talking about little women who can only carry a small .22 with them. We're also not talking about people who live in areas with extreme weather and blizzard like conditions that make it more difficult to carry larger firearms. <br><br>If you're a 6 foot 200 lbs man who says you only carry a .380 in your front pocket because you have to, that's not a valid excuse. You can do better than that. If the need to defend yourself ever arises you'll be wishing you had more gun on you.<br><br>If you're a 105 lbs woman who can only carry a small Derringer or .22, that's fine because you are making the best of your situation. When you say you have to only carry a small gun, I'm talking to the men who have the option to do better but choose not to.
