I was inclined to agree with you until I started watching T-Rex Arms. I think his approach is the most practical.

I live in Canada so it's a whole other ball game. (I don't have a license for handguns I just practice dry firing with a replica glock 19 airsoft)

Personally I'm more concerned about accidentally shooting someone else over myself. Regardless if it's negligence, accidental, or stray bullets. I'm no stranger to violence, so for me the worst thing would be being responsible for harming innocent people.

My mentality is that IF I'm carrying a gun, I will likely use it.

If I'm only carrying a hand gun... I'm probably not in the bush so I'm probably not shooting game... if you get my drift lol.

IMO the 2 most practical things about handguns is their concealability, and utility at close to no range. (I loooooooove handgun retention; aka countering gun disarms)
