Still can't? Try .380. I'd rather be missed by .50 cal than hit by a .22. Debate over.

Amen to that. You could kill somebody with a pellet gun with a well placed shot. It all depends on effectiveness of the shooter.
If you look at all the shootout videos today, you will see that most of the thugs perpetrating the crime will turn tail as soon as they see their "victims" are also armed. They don't care what caliber it is. They just know this mo fo has a gun too, and he looks like he's actually trained with it. I don't care what you carry, JUST CARRY!
