- I am trying to decide on an appropreate personal protection pistol and or
- shotgun? I have looked at ballistics and energy on impack for different
- ranges. I figure a maximum range of 30 yards, for this porpose. I also live
- in a neighborhood where homes are close together, and thin walled. For this
- reason I dont want something that will go through my house and the neighbors,
- ect. I do however want one shot stopping! A possible might be the .22 Magnum,
- the ballistics i've seen rate it up there with a .38, but I havent seen many on
- the market. I am not in a situation to get up if the first shot misses and
- beat the perp. over the head. I'm open to suggestions.
