[QUOTE="Tampabucs, post: 2147376, member: 9581"] You certainly could kill someone with a 22 with proper shot placement, but with adrenaline flowing I wouldn't want to count on making a perfect shot to stop someone. There's no way I would conceal carry a .22 for stopping a human. I always get a chuckle out of these micro pistols with super short barrels chambered in 25 acp etc,. I'm thinking if you truly got in a shootout is that what you would want in your hands? Imagine a guy starts a mass shooting at a walmart and you have a 22 or some micro pistol. Sure, it may be better than nothing, but I just carry the glock 30 that packs 10 rounds of 45 acp. I hope to never need it, but it's a heck of a lot better than some small caliber pistol, IMHO. I know this wasn't would you rather have a .22 or a 45, but if I'm going to carry then I know the direction I am going. I mean, if you are going to fool with carrying at all why not carry something that you know is adequate?
