I know, I know.....

but, I watch a lot of "The First 48," the biggest thing I take away from that show is that caliber, really, in the grand scheme of things, don't matter.

I saw a guy (in Dallas, no less) that was killed by a single .22LR shot to the back.
I personally swear up and down about how little I like a .380ACP, but I ain't standin' in line to get hit by one...

A single .22 bullet found on the ground is enough to make the newspaper in England. Hah

I remember when that post first came about, we all laughed about the "atrocities" found if one were to venture out to many of our habitations.
reminiscent of the box of shotgun shells found at WalMart by the "SoccerMom."

idiocracy, indeed.

Fallout,

A forum member is selling 2 .22 pistols http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... &sk=t&sd=a\

Both are good, I'd lean towards the MK III
