Thoughts on carrying a .22 as a CCW?

[RocketFoot]

What do you guys think about carrying a .22 as CCW? I am packing my P22 Walther today just for the heck of it. Here is what I think...

Pros:
Light weight
Easy to conceal
10 Rounds in the mag
Very damaging round to head or gut
lower chance of exit damage
Gun looks intimidating

Cons:
Small Bullet=small wound
Minimum stopping power
Multiple shots may be needed
Poor reliability of .22 LR

I'll tell you what...I wouldn't want to get shot with this sucker!

I'm not touching this with a ten foot pole.

I don't want my gun to look intimidating, because if I draw my weapon the BG wouldn't have any idea what my gun looks like, besides the muzzle flash of my 45. If I draw my gun it’s to use it not to scare someone.

It's not the multiple shots, it’s the fact the rim fire ammo is very unreliable. How many defective rounds/jams have you shot at the range? I know I have had dozens of them.

It's better than nothing.

Practice your fast head shots, because that's what you'll need to pull it off.

I'm just poking around...I really don't plan on carrying it daily, maybe in instances where I need a really small CCW, but I usually carry a 1911 or Ruger 9mm. I just have it today for show and tell at work!

It's perfect for this type of work.....
