[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 968609, member: 3286"] People die from getting shot by .22's all the time, yet I can't ever think of anyone suggesting that a .22 is the best choice for a personal defense round. Capable, and likely are two different things. For the scenario listed there are a lot of variables a. No one on this board KNOWS that it was target load shot shells. There is a huge variety of shot out there. b. The shooting happened in the summer, which makes it pretty likely that there wasn't much restistance offered by the clothing. c. The true distance that the victim was shot from isn't accurately known. If people want to risk their own lives, more power to them, but when someone asks a question about a RELIABLE self defense round, please please please for the love of life, don't pop off about how a .22 or target load shell can keep someone alive by being a viable defensive round.
