By my observations, I'm more concerned with Johnny Methbilly at my local Kroger than a pack of Venezuelans.You certainly don't know whether your handgun could save you against the threat that has you way outgunned or not...
...Unless of course, you don't make any effort at all to to try to be prepared for this.
Tren de Aragua have to eat, just like the rest of us. Where else, other than Kroger, would you think they do their grocery shopping?
That's a perfect example of the mistaken thinking you can avoid the criminal element with your good sense and situational awareness. Food, fuel and other consumables are needed by the illegals the same as Americans. A lot of times the gangs and thugs and illegals have to venture out of the ghettos due to the food deserts created by business' that just can no longer operate in the high crime areas.
You absolutely can avoid the criminal element the majority of the time by good sense and situational awareness. There are rare occasions, of course, but reality is not the zombie apocalypse that you are making it out to be. And whatever magic talisman you think your Glock and a couple of spare mags is, it's marginally better than a P365 and a couple of spare mags.
And no more effective against mutliple armed attackers. We're not talking the difference between a pathetic J frame and a modern service pistol here.
If you think a half second faster draw and 15+1 instead of 13+1 is going to save you against a couple of guys who know what a tactical V is, well...good luck.
