No one else. If something bad is going to happen to you it’s going to happen fast, you simply WILL NOT have time to call the police, and even if you do, chances are they will not get there in time. I care too much about my friends and family to risk letting anything happen to them. I hope that I am never in a situation where I will have to use my sidearm, but if I do I will pull the trigger without hesitation and without remorse. Because it’s going to either be me or him, and a guarantee it’s not going to be me.
I now carry with me everywhere I am legally allowed to do so, and if I’m not allowed to carry I still have some other means of defense.

Same for me. I've never needed it but have been carrying religiously since I turned 21.
