I think this is a situation, where "preaching to the choir" is designed to be used.

I don't carry just for me. When family in tow, I carry two Glock17s and a 357LCR Revo. My sons are proficient with the 17s. If some jerks started shooting my sons will be returning rapid fire as well. If they take on me they take on three. I arm up for mall situations since I dont live on a dirt road all the time.
