Yours is an extremely valuable post and observation, and I assume it is true.
I have been following this .22 theme and was very interested in Molotov Mitchell’s WND video on the subject, which was later on Gordon Liddy’s talk radio show with all kinds of heated arguments.
You are the first to make this one.
A lot of talk on this thread about incapacitation etc. But the sad truth is that God forbid you have to use it to defend your life or the lives of your loved ones it is not a good idea to leave an injured, desperate and talkative individual in neighborhoods where John Edwardses and hand-picked juries may be found.
Golux,
I have to bow my head and think through what you have posted.
The lawyer contingent adds a component to protecting your family, that is a complete wild card.
G. Gordon would not hesitate to use a .22. OTOH, you have to do what is best for you and yours.
In your case, putting an end to your antagonist, in short order, is better than defending yourself against his lawyer if the SOB lives.
Its a personal thing, you have to make your own decisions.
