Every time President Obama talks about taking away our guns, people rush out to buy one while they can, but what type of gun is best?
First, I do not recommend any semi-automatic pistol for self-defense, because if you get a misfire, it takes two strong hands to jerk the slide back to eject the bad bullet and let a new one in.
Second, if you don't hold the gun tight, the mechanism won't work and your gun could jam. In either case, you could get killed.
My choice for a gun for self-defense is a nine-shot .22-caliber revolver. If you get a misfire in a revolver, just pull the trigger again to bring a good bullet under the firing pin. |

It's better then nothing, but not a good self defense gun. Shooting someone with a .22 LR revolver is more likely to annoy them than to incapacitate them. You will need a head shot or a heart shot to stop someone with a .22 LR.
Even with a heart shot, it might take someone a half a minute before he realizes he is dead. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
