There is also the concern of over-penetration with a handguns, which leads to collateral damage.Depends on the structure, the caliber and configuration of ammo. You think a 12 ga loaded with a slug or 0-0-0 Buck won't penetrate? Ball ammo in a pistol will tend to penetrate further than JHP or the frangibles like Glaser, MagSafe or RBCD.

All of that is true but way beyond the beginners question and understanding.
