I got to thinking about this the other day after reading some posts on animals taken with the handgun. Now what animal would you equate from a danger/tenacity standpoint to a felon wanting to do you harm? A boar?, now would you dare take a .22 or .25 or .32 for that matter to that fight? I have never shot a boar, but I would imagine if that thing is charging toward you that would be pretty equal to the sensation you would get if faced with the dangerous 2 legged variety. Just food for thought.
