That my theology is better than the JW's?

Well, that too …
But to follow up on your comment in post #75, has anyone ever known someone who, subsequent to having actually had to draw, display or use a handgun in a real-life situation, then thereafter begin to carry smaller, lighter handguns with less capacity?

Well, yeah, but he's Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris doesn't have good aim. His bullets just know better than to miss.

Chuck Norris doesn't use a gun. If he wants to shoot you he inserts the bullets manually

No offense to anyone, but this whole "grab & go gun" concept strikes me as the product of a close cousin to the mindset wherein people fantasize that there are "safe" places where violence somehow doesn't happen.

if that were the case, no one would grab a gun.

Have you ever seen one of those threads or somebody asks "Why did you start carrying?" I've literally seen people answer that they carry because it makes them feel cool
Say again?

what did you not understand?
The comment was about a "mindset wherein people fantasize that there are "safe" places where violence somehow doesn't happen".
Your replied,
If what were the case?
Why would "no one grab a gun" if there were indeed such places?

yes, if people answering this original posting thought there were safe places, why would they grab a gun? the answer is they know there are no safe places, which is why they grab a gun.....

On the other hand, can people employ strategies others would find inadequate, and be as safe, or even safer than those more heavily or consistently armed? Or is their personal history and situational awareness merely whistling past the graveyard?
Actually, a lot of our posters do seem to believe, erroneously of course, that there are places in which carrying a gun is unnecessary.
It is when they are going to other places that they "grab a gun".
I'm not sure that that is uncommon behavior.

then I misunderstood the premise of this thread. I thought it was instead of your usual ccw, what is your grab and go gun for things like yard work, jogging, checking the mailbox while walking the dog..... as in something small and light that you can slip into a pocket quickly instead of suiting up like usual.

I think that would be valid conclusion if the OP hadn't specified suboptimal calibers

I think it would depend on what the strategies are. I live by the rule of stupids and the majority of my overall strategy is risk avoidance but I still won't carry less than a Glock 26 unless I have no other option because I've experienced what happens when all your risk management fails

How would you quantify the safety an individual experiences regardless of their carry strategy?

I don't even know what that means.

I'm sitting in my house/walking my dogs/running to the store or post office/taking a commercial flight. How can you tell if I'm safe?
