At least she had a gun and was able to use it. I will occasionally carry a 380 when dressed up and going out with the wife. I am more than willing to let anyone who believes it is an ineffective round stand about 7 feet away from me and I will shoot you. Whatever the caliber a person carries it is usually going to be more effective than harsh words.
I normally carry a Delta Elite (10mm) that has been worked over by Ted Yost, but there are times that may be a touch inappropriate so the 380 goes into my pocket.
