Well, here's the thing. Take a look at your options. Let's say for instance that one night your card comes calling and it's your lucky night. Rapist mugger shows up. You either
A) Have nothing to defend yourself with
B) Have something to defend yourself with
There's plenty of other scenarios and of course, simply having a gun on you might not even help you if he gets the jump on you from behind. But for all intents and purposes, let's just say it's face to face and you know his intent.
To give an example, Canadian laws are a lot stricter here. In general, everything falls down to the police to do. And that's fair. But at the same time, if you defend yourself from a home invasion you yourself can be fined. Hell if the home invader was an asshole they could play the legal system and sue you.
But think of it like this. Would you really let somebody break into your home and not defend yourself and wait for the police? You could be dead by the time they show up. Or in some other horrible situation.
This same rule applies to you although I assume you're american.
Except that your issue is, while you can legally defend yourself if attacked, if the authorities find out that you used an unlicensed firearm or god forbid you kill the dude, you'll be in shit.
My best advice is to think of another weapon. Something that's small, easy to carry, easy to hide, and has no chance of killing the attacker but gives you enough room to defend yourself.
For example. Bear Spray. Anybody who gets hit with that shit WILL NOT fight. They won't even be able to stand.
If the attacker hasn't used a gun yet, then don't escalate things.
I take issue with both Tazers (not tazers, but rather stun guns since Tazers are verboten) and Mace/bear spray.
A key defensive principle is to put as much distance between you and your aggressor. A stun gun requires you to be in physical contact with an aggressor to be effective. Not to mention people who are just naturally resistant to the shock put out by a stun gun. If you cannot retreat from someone who wants to cause you harm, are you really going to want to let them get close enough to touch?
Pepper Spray/Bear spray are a little more ranged, but you are still within 10 feet of the threat. Not to mention that both are indiscriminate in how the operate. A rogue gust can render your spray useless and you could gas your self like it was Verdun all over again. Not to mention individuals who have built up a tolerance to CS gas in general. There are crazy fucks outside of correctional officers who actually spray them selves to build tolerance to it.
What you need in a defensive situation is what's called "Stand Off Capability." The ability to put distance between your self an a threat while maintaining an ability to engage from that distance should the need arise. Neither Stun Guns nor spray really fill this role. They are both close range weapons, and being close could mean being dead.
Well, then it's your call. I don't know about you, but another defensive tool you can use that technically doesn't break the law is a flare gun. You can legally own a flaregun. At least, up here you can.
However. There is the problem of how much damage a flare gun can do. Phosphorus burns and sticks. Hit somebody with that and they're going to be in a lot of pain. Will it kill them? Hard to say. But then again, if you're carrying a gun does it really matter?
But I can garuntee you no mother fucker burns themselves with phosphorus fire to build up an immunity to it. And even if you miss the shot, a flare is a bright mother fucker. Enough to not only alert somebody, but also potentially blind your attacker giving you the chance to run.
The key here is escape.
Pft, Flare Guns? In California? For non-boating use? That's hilarious.
Dude I live in fucking Saskatchewan. The nearest ocean is two provinces away and the biggest fucking lake we have is a puddle compared to the great lakes.
And I could probably go to my local co-op convienence store or gas station and buy a flare gun. Or alternately, order one and have it shipped over in a week.
We have issues with...flammability.
Flare guns are only legal for use as a maritime signaling device here. To much threat of fire otherwise.
Just maritime?
I could have sworn there was an FAA regulation regarding them and title 91 or commercial aircraft... or maybe that was just for flight over water like the life vest regulations....
There might be. But it's pretty much for signaling only. We can't use them for anything else because it's to much fun...and potentially combustible.
We can't even use phosphorous tracers 
But kraut don't you live innadesert?

ITT: people don't know their Eminem lyrics
Sorry I'm not wigger enough to listen to cRAP
Have you never turned on a radio since 1999?
Not all of us listen to top 40 pop stations.
Oh, you're so cool.
Just saying, man, it'd be an odd day if Emminem started playing on the local new rock stations and even odder if he'd be on the country western one.
>purposefully spelling Eminem wrong to appear to be unaware of his music
Nah, that's Jim spellin for me.

Nor do I, but pop music is pretty inescapable. Malls, restaurants, clubs, all kinds of shit where you don't have control over the music.
True, though that's normally at volumes that are low and ignorable... well, except maybe clubs. I don't club. I wouldn't know. I mean... if I tried to think of all the eminem song I've heard in the past... five years, all I can think of is that one with Rihana.... monster or something... and I think one person in my squad played Rap God in his car once.

And then, there's the rare motherfucker who doesn't even feel CS gas. It's like, maybe one in every 10,000 people, but man, I saw one of them in Basic.

You can break the law if you think it will make your life better. However, you risk facing consequences for doing such. It's better to get a permission, and keep the whole matter quiet. Never show or use your gun unless it's last resort. Keep the ammo and the gun separated.
I would never advise to keep the ammunition and the gun separated when carrying. It's a bad idea and it gives the attacker several extra seconds to get to you. Often time those are several extra seconds that you don't have. If you really don't trust yourself with the ammo and the gun together, the most I would ever except would be keeping the loaded magazine in the gun but the chamber empty. Even then, that's stretching it. If you're prepared to carry a firearm and use it in self-defense, you should be prepared to keep it loaded.
I dunno man, I had a habit of only loading five because old wheel gun and carrying on an empty chamber.
If you trained at it, it shouldn't take much more time to slide your action on a modern handgun, or even do it on the draw.
I only feel comfortable walking with a red m16 because it's in my hands and nothing but my thumb can fuck with that safety.
Refer to the videos above
I watched them.
And dry running with some reenactor-type prop-like weaponry, I don't think that girl reacted as fast as one could
I mean, I'm drunk, and it's still one fluid, quick motion from this
to this
Even with this stupidly long barrel that would be beyond reasonable for a CCW.
Revolvers are a completely different concept when it comes to having an empty chamber. I personally still wouldn't take the chance.
There can't be that much a time difference between cocking a hammer and pulling a slide, right?
I mean, yeah, I little further to move, but still... a similar draw can be made, right?
Do you even own a semi-automatic handgun? Cocking a hammer and racking a slide are two completely different motions that each require different applications of force. With a hammer, all you need is your thumb on one hand, With a slide, you need an entire free hand. If you are prepared to carry, you should be prepared to carry loaded.
No, I don't. That's why I'm asking these questions, and why if I ever get another handgun I'm going to be biased towards snubnose revolvers.

Well, it's actually just a cap gun model designed for reenactors on a budget.
