Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.
Thanks for a good video and good perspective. The one point that I would add is that of the major (and even minor) self-defense calibers, the least expensive practice ammunition is for the 9mm. I say that from the perspective that the .22LR is more of a small game hunting and target shooting caliber and not really a self-defense caliber. With that in mind, most of us must take ammunition cost into account as we think about developing proficiency with a firearm. A hit with a 9mm is more effective than a miss with a .45 ACP, and if choosing a 9mm means being able to afford much more practice, then the likelihood of a hit is much higher. For the person just beginning in shooting, I'd urge them to consider 9mm just to be able to get much more practice for the same amount of money.
In addition to making someone bleed, I suspect that breaking bones could reduce the ability of an attacker to continue attacking. However, the drill bit principle is about the same with that idea. A more powerful caliber really isn't going to break bones more. Maybe a .380 ACP or even a .38 Special is a little less effective at breaking bones, but the major self-defense calibers are going to break bones about equally well.
Very well said.good info. My thoughts exactly.
