Here's a thought:
For everyone that is of the school of "We should carry for self-defense", have you ever considered other methods of self-defense? What if your gun gets stuck when you're trying to pull it out? What if it misfires? What if you lose your nerve? What if you're simply too damn slow?
A: You die.
Humans are not hard organisms to kill. Keep that in mind. You don't need a Desert Eagle .50 to take someone out. I personally wouldn't lock all my faith & security in one firearm.
