The question I ask people that want to carry is simple, besides knowing how to shoot a gun, are you totally willing and able to pull the trigger.Many people learn the mechanics of how to shoot, but aren't totally sure they could/would if put in that situation.If you are going to carry, many people like 9mm, however I don't really like the lack of knock down power (as a friend who was a chief of police for 20 years said, it will kill someone,  but it doesn't tell you body your dying very fast).A 40 caliber, I have a chiefs special, is a fairly small gun that has some knock down power, it is also VERY loud ,,,,I don't care if I hit them or they run away, as long as they leave!
