At one time I was a sheriffs deputy.
From that time on I often have a concealed gun on my person.
Usually a 25 caliber Baretta 9 shot, pocket pistol semi automatic. If I feel there may be a touchy incident I carry a 38 caliber revolver.
Why a revolver over a semi automatic? They are simple. If you do not carry and train "constantly" you need simple for a larger gun.
Unless an incident is so threatening that I fear for my life or those around me I will not even pull the gun.
If it is so threatening an incident that I know without a doubt that I or some one is going to die, I must fire my weapon, I will shoot to kill.
Knowing full well that the shit will hit the fan and I may be arrested and tried and even sent to prison if there are any mistakes on my part.
This gun thing is very dangerous and at the least costly, time consuming, and worst of all, dealing with the stress of killing another human. This will stay with you for ever. Don't take concealed weapon permits or carrying a gun lightly.
