New Twist To Caliber Debate...

[AJBB87]

For your defense, would you rather carry...

1 round of .45
2 rounds of .40
3 rounds of 9mm
4 rounds of .38
10 rounds of .22LR

Please do not add your own category. If you don't like your options, don't participate.

Personally, I feel more comfortable with multiple rounds but what say you?

Would you rather be...

diagnosed with a noncurable terminal disease
beaten to death by 9 year olds carrying wooden bats
drowned in an ocean of vernors ginger ale
eaten by raccoons

This sounds bad,but if I'm down to your selection, I have already discharged what should be in the gun at the bad guy. Why would you not be perpared? Limit the number of bullets that you carry for defense based on caliber seems kind of obsured. just my 2 cents, if I was down to 1 I would be looking for a gun with more in it.

 

[AJBB87]

I know this is beating a dead horse. But it's just a new way to look at the question.

I KNOW THIS IS A BOGUS, DUMB, STUPID, WHATEVER, SITUATION

But there is no discharged gun, no previously fired rounds, no unpreparedness, no bad guy.

I have provided the scenario, and these are your ONLY choices...

The idea is to see how many of you who prefer larger caliber weapons, would still prefer them with a limited number of rounds.

Are you completely confident in your abilities...? Or would rather have opportunities to follow up...?

It's just a question, please stick to the given scenario...

Thank you

I was thinking that too but he puts some time into his comments so I was letting him slide.

Big John, maybe he is legit. I just don't care for his tone. When you post a question, be open to all types of answers. I'm just saying.

You know there's a way to create a poll on here, right? Prolly would've been easier to read the results.

good point. He could have made it a poll and avoided the tone.

With the scenario presented I would go for the 10 rds of .22 and hope I got good brain shots with each one.

 

[Arm America]

10 rounds of 22 here as well.
Not because I need additional shots, its because I prefer that opton if needed.

I'm also pretty certain a couple of 22 rounds would deter 95% of the bad guys.
10, I supect would slow down a whole gang.

 

[GlockRock]

10 rounds of 22.

 

[redneckpastor]

1 NUKE and kill em all!!!!!
i might be the only one that answered the OP
MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

[2cool9031]

Ok.....I'll answer....4 rounds of 38...+P of course..I carry a 5 shot .38 with +p ammo often.

 

[Archbishop]

It's a toss up between the 4 38s or 10 22s. I would probably go with the 22s. Is that 22LR, 22s or 22wmr?

Would you rather be...

diagnosed with a noncurable terminal disease
beaten to death by 9 year olds carrying wooden bats
drowned in an ocean of vernors ginger ale
eaten by raccoons

Drowning in Ginger Ale would be my choice. But Vernors? Not so sure. Canada Dry is better, IMHO. Both are lacking in stopping power. At least you don't die thirsty...

2, please. Final answer.

I come home to a 6 and 9 year old everyday who attack with everything they have. I'm 6'3" and 230. I imagine a flock of 9 year olds with bats would be a quick death.

(In all seriousness, I do like the original question. For SHTF, 10 rounds of 22. For self-defense carry? 4 rounds of .38. Another one here who is comfortable carrying a lightweight .38 with five rounds anyway.)

Here we go again!

Did Guns and Ammo ask to use one of your first 50 posts for its depth and originality? Me neither. Give the guy a break, he has a thread that asks a question about calibers a little differently. If you don't like his premise,how about a battlefield pickup. Which one of his choices would you choose in that scenario. I choose the 4 .38 option.
