What the fuck else could you possibly think is more efficient than a firearm when self-defense is in question?

I don't know, every situation is different. I have no doubts that a pistol is the most "efficient" form of self defense, but is it so necessary? Never once in my life have i been in a situation where pointing a gun in someones face seemed logical.. i just don't see how carrying a gun around everywhere you go somehow makes you that much 'safer.' And i don't see how pulling a gun out can make a situation any better.. there are unlikely exceptions of course, but it still does not justify - in my mind - the need to carry around a gun. spank:
