I seem to chime in on this topic ever so often. Regarding leaving the gun at home if you aren't going to be able to carry it on you:
I've had a Texas CHL since the very first batch that was issued. I have had to use my handgun on one occasion. Luckly, I didn't have to fire. However, it was a day that I would have left my P95 at home if I had been unwilling to leave it in my car.
Had I not been willing to use my P95 as a "car gun" on that particular day, I would have been unarmed on the one occasion when I REALLY needed it.
I feel that principle can also be applied to the .380 debate. Having a gun is the first rule of gun fighting. The rest of gun fighting has a lot more to do with the man behind the gun, not the gun itself.
