Firearms are great! However if you carry a firearm you must mentally prepared and trained to take someone's life. Ever heard of buck fever? Ask any hunter. Anyone can punch holes in paper - shooting someone quite a different story. The mental side takes a long time to become proficient. It's almost never mastered. for people,who have not trained mentally to use a firearm against a person carry a quality mace. It's good for 20 feet away and is easy to use. it will put someone down and is non lethal - easier to hit your target than a gun. Most confrontations happen within 7 feet! Are you prepared for the aftermath after you shoot someone? Shooting someone in your home is quite different than shooting someone when out and about.
Bottom line be prepared - know your surroundings and be aware of who and what is around you.
As for firearms the smith 642 is a great pocket gun. It's hammerless. Just pull the trigger. It's stainless so no rust. There is not a slide to go back and forth. You can shoot it inside your coat pocket. As for pistols I like the smith m&p series as well as the glocks. With these strike fire type actions the trigger pull is the same for all shots. For me that is an advantage over the typical DA pistols like a Sig Sauer. For home defense a 12guage pump.
If your serious about carrying a firearm 24/7 get professional training at a facility such as gun site or another professional training facility.
