Well, seeing as how the results of my previous thread have only made me want to move away from California, I think I'd better see what other calibers might be viable.

The Beretta CX4 Storm carbine looks interesting. Actually I think it looks wacky, but it is shorter in overall length, semi-automatic, and doesn't use any wildly expensive caliber bullets. That said, how's the stopping power for a 9mm round? Overpenetration likelihood? How's the accuracy for the CX4 Storms?

Also, if I wish to use it for target practice at the range, how much further out would the effective range be over my .22 LR CZ rifle?
