i think it is a good idea to have a plan for personal security.
learn a good martial art now and how to use weapons really well could safe your life now not just in the future. ju jitsu is a good starting point and it's been around for thousands of years and battle tested.

It takes a while to learn though and needs you to be at a certain fitness level. It also depends on your age, size, body weight and skills.

Although what you say is right. But you need to consider your own circumstances.

You could be right there. It had a powerful kick.

if you start look around at clubs and class in the area that you live in you should find a good instructor and ju jitsu has so many parts to it, any body can try and learn fitness comes in time and a person in a wheel chair can do it, young or old. it's called a gentle art but is far from that if you don't know it.
a .357 is a good choice but i like a .50 egale, more stopping power for the man in front of you and the one behind him

Grumpy,
My sort of thinking but that is one hell of a recoil. Most men won't be able to handle that.

Why are most men only interested in the size of the weapon and not about the finesse of its placement?

It's a man thing. We want the biggest, the fastest, the shiniest, the best looking. It doesn't have to do a particular job as long as we perceive it fits the main criteria.

I'd rather have a .22 and be able to place the entire magazine on target than have a hand cannon and after the first shot sprains my wrist be unable to hit anything. It won't matter for the first target but it'll be a very important factor if he had friends.
