    #10 might be hard to follow sometimes, as you could be miles away from your long gun when you commute to work, etc. And, some districts might restrict keeping firearms in an unattended vehicle.

    Other than that, they make sense to me.

    Jeff Cooper said a defense pistol needs to be comforting, not comfortable.

    My Rules For A Defense Pistol. In no particular order:

    1. Something you WILL carry at all times, ALWAYS.

    2. Powerful enough to do the job reliably.

    3. A quality, reliable gun.
    NOTHING else matters as much as that it's reliable. Not accuracy, not power, not cosmetic appearance, not personal ego or likes, nothing else.
    A piece of personal safety equipment is not the place to save a few bucks. Buy the very best you can afford.

    4. High "usability".
    It has to be something that you can use quickly and effectively, and hit reliably. That means something that you can draw and hit the target fast with no fumbling. That rules out now obsolete guns like the usual single action derringer types.
    This means you have to put the gun through a validation process to insure that you really can use it effectively.
    A gun that's too large for your hand, too powerful for you to control, has controls you have trouble using, or a gun too small does not meet your personal usability needs.
    The only way to know is a Real World honest shooting test.

    5. It has to be fast into action.
    That means an effective holster that the gun can be drawn from fast with no hanging up on clothing or a pocket. It should not require cocking, operating a slide, fumbling with a balky or poorly placed safety, have pretty but hard to hold onto grips, and have usable sights.

    6. You should have a reload for it, and the reload has to be fast to use and easily and quickly accessible.

    7. It needs to have a good lubricant that stays put, doesn't dry out, evaporate, run off, or otherwise leave the gun dry.
    A grease is ideal for a defense gun because it stays put and will last indefinably in a carry gun.

    If your chosen defense gun and carry method fail any of the above, without any loyalty whatsoever to a piece of equipment you should discard it and try something else.
