Inland Empire tuff

I wish that guy had burglarized that batshit crazy Scientology prison thing they have in Hemet instead. Don't mean to be too anti-religious, but Scientologists are fucking nuts.

I spent a fair bit of time in Hemet in my youth.

A man has every right defend his castle and a .22 will probably get it done 99% of the time. No AR needed until the Zombie Appocolypse occurs.

While most times just the display of a firearm will do but if you want to run with a .22LR it's your life.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying a .22LR pistol is the ideal weapon for home defense. But it can still kill a man plenty dead and has long been popular with hit men has it not? Once I was shooting 00 buck at watermelons in the woods near where @puppylove_sugarsteel resides. Picked up a cheap .22 semi auto pistol in the same session and almost felt that in the middle of the night getting out of bed I'd stand a better chance grabbing a .22 just popping off 10 rounds into a burglar vs getting the scatter gun deployed quickly.

All this said, I am not an expert and probably full of shit here.

Rule of thumb is use the largest caliber you can control and hit with. Of course that changes with training and experience.

So .454 Casull right? .44 Mag is a little light IMO.

Nah. 45ACP 9mm or 40 S&W if you cant use the manly stuff.

Nice commode.

Because I don't live out in the country and I'm not a fucking cowboy.

Just an FYI we used to be known as a nation of riflemen.

The story of how the .40 S&W came into being is pretty chinteresting- i.e., some FBI did end up dead in shootout with bank robbers in 1986. They were still packing .38 revolvers at the time.

They were packing 9mm autos lifted with Winchester 115gr Silvertips IIRC. one of the baddies took on the heart and continued fighting killing 3 FBI agents. The wound was fatal and doctors said they could not have saved him if he had been shot on the operating table. Some people are just mean.

That's why you use the failure drill. Also known as the Mozambique technique. 2 to the body, assess, if he didn't go down 1 to the head.

Some of the agents did have revolvers and I think one of the revolver armed agents finished them off though he was badly wounded.

Ammo technology has advanced but I still prefer my 45.
