Most of the time that guns provide effective defense they are not fired.

FWIW I have a CCW permit but I rarely carry anymore.

If assailants are wearing body armor and you got the 9 yer dead. If you have a .22 and clint eastwood like reflexes and a steady hand you might have a chance.

I'll stick with my boom stick tho

Why do you live with the .22 but die with the 9?

Head shot easier to make.

I was really just looking for an excuse to post my army of darkness refreence that failed because I forgot how cultured this forum is and they would never watch a movie of that caliber.

Even if it was 1%, though, I'd still think it was worth the purchase. I mean, what are we talking here, $500, $800? Not much money in the grand scheme, and it could save your life one day. Not to mention that even if its not used, the mere presence of a gun can diffuse a situation, or perhaps stop a government from going too far.


By the way, for .22 plinking, if you're into rifles at all check out the Ruger 10/22 which Wesker showed above. Supposed to a pretty awesome .22, and it's relatively cheap iirc.
You gonna use it when the govt comes to confiscate it?

Is it just me or does the scope in the OP look like it's on backwards?

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm 95% sure that you need a concealed carry permit to have a loaded hand gun in your car in Georgia, which is around $15/5 years.
Gun can be in glovebox or clearly visible in your car in GA with no permit.
