A .22 would barely protect your home against a squirrel.

Roxann Klobucar, Westman's mother, was able to wrestle the bat from Farrell... hit Farrell several times in the head until he was subdued,..
Note to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig
Dear bonehead Bud. See. Good old fashioned Ash bats don't break after a few whacks.
Outlaw Maple bats next season. And Ash bats are also cheaper.

Me

A .22 would barely protect your home against a squirrel. I disagree. A .22 is an excellent home defense weapon for squirrel attack. Of course, if something else attacks your home--like, say, a human--you may want something more in the line of a 12-gauge.

Don’t bring a 22 to a bat fight.

A theft and he didn’t call the po po? What exactly was stolen? Probably weed or meth. Just saying.

Israelis hit squads used .22 Berettas. Two men, 14 .22’s to the chest.
.22’s kill more people than any other caliber.
I remember a subway clerk defended himself with a North American Arms .22 revolver. About the size of a Bic Lighter. One shot to the head, killed the robber.
.22’s are affordable and small and with minimal training and with even more mental training can be quite deadly.

I have a .22 semi-auto I would resort to during a break in... after the .45 clips have been emptied.

need more coffee...here I thought he (the homeowner/renter/whatever) had a bat modified to shoot.
Then, I thought, no, that can’t be right...but PETA is gonna be all over this.

“after the .45 clips have been emptied.”
My thought exactly. Have 4 clips of 230 gr JHP .45 first then restort to the .22 or maybe from the looks of this case .45 first then the bat!

"...North American Arms .22 revolver...."That's interesting; I did not know revolvers came in "fun size".
To: marktwain
Westman fired one round from a .22-caliber rifle, which hit Farrell in the right forearm. Farrell continued to assault Westman after he was shot, Evinger said.When going to a gunfight, always bring enough gun and more ammo than you think you'll need.

I have 230gr Hydra-Shok rounds in my clips — hopefully one shot will do the trick! ;-)

I knew a guy about 25 years ago who was shot by his ex wife on the courthouse steps in St Cloud MN. She shot him 5 times to the face with a 22 pistol and the worst wound knocked his front tooth out and lodged in the roof of his mouth.
She should have went for his vital organs.

Amen. The 1911 Colt - after a century: still the perfect handgun.

A couple of well placed 22’s in the gut and neck and the intruder is not going to survive.
I have a 22 for outdoor varmints and 2 25’s for indoor varmints and a 38 just in case the little guns don't do the trick.
