I carried in NY just on the off chance that I might get an acceptable shot and be able to take a deer with my Glock 33. (5.3” extended barrel for those who know NY law) Never happened.
I also carried for the much more likely reason that I might need to dispatch a wounded animal and better a $0.25 pistol round than a $2 rifle round. Never happened.
Now I carry in CO on the off chance of meeting an unfriendly bear. Better, in my estimation, to have 10 rounds of .357sig than 1 or 2 from whatever rifle. Also, likely to never happened.
I guess, really, I carry just for the hell of it.
