OK as long as I'm armed with my perfered choice of arms.

do a google search on the 'FBI Miami Shootout' and find out why the FBI switched to the .40 S&W and the .45 ACP.

I deal with ballistics: velocity, foot pounds of energy, and moa. BTW, part of my inventory is two Ruger .357 magnums, two 9mms, a .380, and a half dozen .22s.

Having been in the steel business for 30+ years, a .22 will not "Bounce off" the skin of a car. The next time you figure out where your car is, take an ice pick (those pointy thingies) and observe a hole in your car.

Too mant people have been watching too many movies.

Our neighbor who is an LEO carries a Glock in .40 instead of a 9mm. His resoning is that the 9mm is less effective than a 9mm in a glancing shot on a windshield at 45 degrees.

When he carries in civilian dress, he carries a Sig P232.
