True enough. But look at what was posted:

"...on what to learn on first, so how about an old persons first gun. I don’t want a pistol."

huldah1776 asked about something to learn to shoot with. I provided an excellent starter firearm (and one that I still use often).

Your are right, easy to learn on. The 10/22 is a great firearm. Just don’t expect it to protect anyone. I have seen reports of bad guys hit 10 times with a .22 and it does not slow them down. 20 ga will kill with one shot any person on earth. I assumed the poster wanted a self defense firearm. The .22 is a recreational / small game firearm. As long as the buyer knows that, no problem. So we were both right. Have a good evening.
