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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
