While I agree that the .22 LR is not the most desirable round for self defense, it's better than nothing. For some people, my gal included, the .22 is the only pistol that they feel comfortable shooting and/or carrying. I don't know anyone that wants a 1/4" hole in them or 40 (mol) grains of lead somewhere in their body.
Change A 1'4" hole to a half dozen and it will do the trick. Just carry enough reloads to tide you over.

We are "peoplizing" the environment out of existence. Don't worry about it. The world will recover and survive.
WE WON'T!

Absolutely! Cole slaw is cabbage salad and salad is good for you. Just like potato salad and macaroni salad.
And my favorite, cranberry celebration salad from Fry's (Kroger).
Number 2 choice is from an old family recipe (I don't know whose family because I stole it from a restaurant where I worked): packaged cabbage cole slaw mix mixed with one part water, 1 part white vinegar, one part Miracle Whip, and 2 parts granulated sugar Refrigerate it and it will last about a month...or so I'm told. It never lasts here over three days until it's gone.

I'm 83 and you ALL are just a bunch of snot-nosed kids.
You'll be okay in a few years when you decide what you want to be when you grow up.

I think it was Sir Winston Churchill who said something about the English and Americans being separated by the same language.

Many people will opt for a .22 for self defense I say while it’s better than nothing I just see too many misfires to depend on them. I shoot a Rimfire Challenge every month and while it’s a lot of fun I see so many misfires. I think any center fire round would be more dependable. What say you? Personally I carry a .38 snubby daily.
A .38 snubby?
DINOSAUR!
I carry a 1947 vintage Colt ,38 Detective Special with a 2" barrel. It's unmodified except for the addition of a Tyler T-Grip. It rides in a "vampire" shoulder holster or a pocket, and is balanced by two speed loaders loaded with 90 grain Hornady Critical Defense
The smallest caliber I carry is a .380 Colt Mk.8 Government Model for really hot days when concealment gets difficult. David Fink at Gunsite has worked this one over until it work flawlessly.
People tell me that I am "under gunned", yet none have dared to try me out. 😄
A triage nurse in LA told me that the two worst wounds they had to deal with were .22s and ice picks.

Why don't we hear more about these places? Let's start tooting that horn.

Comic strip. This 9-year-old girl is of a different race, different nationality. Speaks another language. Has met some people of her race. She tells a friend that this other girl is going to help her learn her language better. And he can't understand - why does she have to help you learn how to speak your language?
The girl, at the age of five, was placed in an American orphanage where she learned to speak English. Obviously her knowledge of her own language would only be what your average 5-year-old would know.
In the comments, someone said something about "being removed from my people as a toddler had an effect on my knowledge of my language".
She was five. I always thought a toddler was two. Possibly three.
So, the reason for my question. How old is a toddler?
How old are you, Todd?

IMO, MacArthur killed many Americans in search of his personal "glory" in both wars he was involved with.
He was a latter day Custer.

I know what you don't know, but you don't know that am totally incapable of telling the truth.
Read it again and find the flaws in that statement............and then try to explain them.

They’ll install French drains while also applying a sealer on the outside wall and fill the hole with gravel. This company knows what they’re doing.
They who? Did I miss something?

I truly hope it expands here and spreads to every square inch of the country. Pubic pressure could do this and I think it would drown a lot lefties emotionally.
They'd blame it on Trump and the NRA.

That was a neat story. I could have done without the screaming, but that was a neat story.
I can and do without screaming most of the time. I'm told I'm missing a lot on the computer and tv and radio, but I'm not. I don't miss it much at all.

I had French drains all around. The chimney sat on a ledge of pink granite.
I have French drains all around my house. They were all disconnected at ground level when we bought the place.

I liked Saul Panzer in the Nero Wolf stories. Other than that I don't much care. 😐

My most unliked song of all time is Happy Birthday To You. I've walked out of my own birthday party because some smart ass didn't listen to me......and THEY get mad because I ruined all their planning.

I have one of those, too. It's a really nice job which replaced the first one I owned.
