To: South Dakota

Way back when I got my carry permit I bought a .380 semi-auto. My husband was a firearms instructor in the Army and he said it would be accurate for the test and to use but eventually wanted me to carry something more powerful. I prefer a revolver because it’s hard for me to use a semi-auto.

His logic is that while a .22 might be more accurate at distance, the .38 or a .357 has more power. He said in self-defense you don’t need distance. Self-defense should be up close and personal. In the case I am close to a crazed 200+ pound man that is high on meth, or whatever, the .22 might not stop him. A .38 or .357 will.
