Dear Doctor Piazza,<\/p>\n

What type of weapon would you suggest for someone who is disabled, on crutches, drives alone, is very busy and needs something for protection. I would like something I could carry in my pocket and have it close when I have to leave my vehicle. As my hands are on my crutches it is not easy to reach in my pockets.<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n

PS- Really liked your gun training reports on self protection, thanks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you Mike,<\/p>\n

A small semi-automatic pistol in 9mm or a small .38 special revolver.<\/p>\n

You will be able to hit better with the Glock due to a better sites and a better trigger and it holds more rounds.<\/p>\n

The small .38 special revolver doesn’t have much in the way of sites and a long trigger pull which makes it harder to shoot accurately and only holds 5 rounds.<\/p>\n

However, any gun is better than no gun at all<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here are some good choices:<\/p>\n
