Having It On You Is 78% of Self Defense Encounters
The presence or mention of a firearm stops 78% of self-defense encounters without shots fired, emphasizing the importance of consistent concealed carry. When shots are fired, engagements are typically brief, involving 3-6 rounds at close range within seconds. The Glock 26 (9mm, 10+1 capacity) and Ruger LCP (.380 ACP, 6+1 capacity) are presented as viable EDC options, with the LCP being significantly smaller and lighter.
