I disagree with the .380 assessment.  I use two kinds of ammo: PP and range.  I have two clips right now of PP.  The .380 works just fine as a defense weapon and is good for conceal/carry purposes.  All the ballistics and results I've seen show a pretty nasty wound if the PP is used and has a decent range.  Most self-defense gunshots are shot between 6 and 15 feet, some even closer.  The .380 is pretty close to the 9 in size also.

+1  spot on!

If you goal is indeed to kill someone as Hereon states above, than he is "good to go" with his "dirty harry" weapon, I just don't want to be his next door neighbor, or living across the street.  Additionally, if the scenario ever plays out where he does have to use that weapon to defend himself, I hope no ambitious attorney reads his post.


It was an ambitious (mad-dog) attorney who mouthed those words.  In concealed carry class.... What it means is that if you are not absolutely convinced that you can react with deadly force to someone who is trying to inflict same on you, then you should never pick up a gun.  And always, RUN AWAY if you can!!!  That has always been my first reaction.  And always will be.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

This thread sure went awry quick.

I thought it would be about the Death Penalty, but quickly became a argument about abortion, then a lovefest with handguns.

Where did I go wrong?

I don't know, depending on your moral and religious views, it seems to be on topic. 

The only variance is who has their finger on the plunger/trigger/scalpel.

The state conspiring to take a life is clearly different than private parties doing so, presuming you believe in life before birth/viability/whatever.

You are absolutely right, however the outcome and moral question remains the same.

Thanks! Now you know why that particular subject is not germane to the topic of this thread.

That only works if there is a god, otherwise you still have a lot of sorting to do, and yourself to answer to
