Not true, most trained shooters can't hit a target at 20 yards with had gun. That is why law enforcement now carry ARs. The issue with handguns is most handgun fights happen within 3 to 9 feet. Your lucky if you have time to act in those cases and if in a crowd of people and have to find an engage the perpetrator is near impossible most the time. I will stop there as I could go on.

I am not saying don't are yourself, just smart about it. Home security and traveling, you bet carry them if you got them!

I started shooting less than a year ago and can already hit targets consistently from 25 yards with a handgun

LOL, that is great! The deal is just like a basketball player that practices shooting 100 free throws a day he may make 98% of them, but can he make them at game time when the game is on the line. It's a whole nother story of shooting targets versus being in a battle!

Like what Hotrodz said when stress and adrenaline kick in during a fight or flight moment you can easily go from hitting a target at 25 yards to missing at 2.

Run n gun'n is a real eye opener. Especially when you get your heart rate up and your fine motor skills go out the window.
