You are not alone with your concerns and questions. Many new carriers feel the same way. My reply is always this;
"better to be tried by 12 than carried by six" is the best way to look at self defense. If it is your life on the line, your instinct *should* kick in and self preservation will override your fear.
Do you only wear a seatbelt when you expect to get in an accident? That gun does you no good if you leave it at home. If you are only going to carry sometimes, may as well not carry at all. Like having a fire extinguisher at home because you expect to have a fire. Situations when you may need to defend yourself are not predictable.
