Re: 22LR Carry
No offense, but the Ellifritz article does NOT advise using .22 for self defense.
First of all, where did that data come from? Why no link to the source and methods? And he notes that the data mixes police and civilian shootings. Police and civilian gunfights are very different, and police don't use .22's.
Second, the data shows that "The .22 required the least number of shots to stop an attacker as compared to the other cartridges." Is there any plausible explanation why .22 would be BETTER at stopping an attack? Or is this just bad data?
Third, if you really trust his data, then think about this: .22 failed to stop the attacker in TWO TO THREE TIMES as many attacks as the larger calibers. That is a stunning failure, isn't it?
If anything, your link is a slam-dunk against .22 for self defense. Failing to stop the attack in 2X to 3X as many cases? Wow. Just wow.
