To narrow it down you need to define the question a little more. It sounds
like you intend to carry concealed. Home defense is an altogether different
matter. What is the threat? Do you walk around on the street a lot or are
you in your car when in strange surroundings?  Is concealed carry
permissable in your state?  Where will you carry?
If you fear muggings perhaps mace and a knife would be more appropriate,
held in the hands and ready.
Perhaps you should move.
