"I am reminded of the amount of damage one John Hinckley Jr. managed to do with one some 30-odd years ago.
Or the damage Sirhan Sirhan did to Robert Kennedy 46 years ago.
I used to do a lot of testing of 22 rounds for expansion. I found that Remington Yellow Jackets always expanded in water or blocks of putty. Even when fired from an Iver Johnson TP22.
I have no problems at all with someone using a 22 for defense. Just make sure she is very familiar with the gun and gets lots of practice."
How about Gerald Mason, who killed 2 cops with a .22 revolver in 1957 -one of which he shot through a windshield? or Richard Blackburn, who killed officer Mark Coates with a single shot from a .22lr handgun after being shot 5 times in the chest with a .357 mag?
More people than you can count have been killed or incapacitated by a .22lr handgun. I don't understand the statements of "it's better than nothing" or some such nonsense. If somebody has broken into your home, a .22lr handgun is just fine if you know how to use it.
