Wondering if you currently own a gun or guns and/or if you plan on purchasing any in the near future.
I went out shopping today for another handgun. I own a
.22 revolver and a semi-automatic .22 rifle (that I have never fired, it was my dad's). The guys at the gun shop say I should have a .38 for protection as a .22 won't kill a big guy who wants to do me harm quickly enough.
I'm not really scared or worried about crime and the .22 I currently own is used mainly for varmint killing on the farm (the occassional rabid animal, dangerous snakes, rats, etc.)
If push came to shove, Yes, I am absolutely certain I could kill someone as I've had some past incidents where I reacted in a way that leads me to believe I will simply react and do what has to be done.
I am going to take the concealed permit class. I just am not sure about owning the .38. I'm happy with a .22. I am looking at the small derringer pistols to carry concealed.
If you own a gun, could you give me your ideas on having a .22 vs a .38.
Thanks.
