Such is not the case now. However, since you cannot expect criminals to voluntarily give up their weapons and the police are still not omnipresent (and, honestly.. would we want them that way?), sometimes the best solution is for responsible, law-abiding citizens to take their defense into their own hands.
Precisely why I want to be prepard. Besides, 16 years as a boy scout taught me its better to be prepared and not need something than to need it and not be prepared.

.45? well thats just the round I prefer, its got the stopping power I want to ensure that whatever gets shot doesnt get up if its placed well.
