You're right, my brain substituted powerful for safer. I apologize for that.
I dunno that it makes me "feel" any safer. I don't make many decisions based on how I feel though.
Carrying was more of a decision based on my perceived responsibilities to my family. I live in a pretty rural area. I have seen coyotes within 50 yards of my home, we had a cougar within a few feet of the house a couple of nights ago. We also don't have 24 hour sheriff patrols in our area and even when we do, a deputy may be as far as 90 minutes away.
