I almost got memed into getting a .22 rifle for home defense.

a crossbow would be hella good for home defense if you actually hit them

instant screaming and crying about whether they should take the arrow out or leave it in
they might not even notice a .22

if they don't die they might try to sue you or something though, so better to just go with handgun of choice in decent caliber, a 12 gauge shotgun, or a more capable rifle

now you get to determine if I'm even wrong or if I'm just a weeb from NorCal

get on the case, anon

>>34114709
the latter

>>34114719
well fuck

>>34114644
saying "it is dangerous and can kill a human" isnt the same as saying "it is a reliable self defense cartridge", you autist.

>>34114644
a crossbow would be better for home defense. it would kill your attacker way faster. everyone who says to get a .22LR rifle for home defense is an utter fucking retard

>>34115008
An old fudd armed with a 10/22 and BX-25 mag of CCI Stingers is probably more deadly than your average suburbanite dad with his Glock 17 or Tyrone with a PT111 in room to room fighting,

STOP LIVING AMONGST OTHER HUMANS!! ALSO GET A DOG!!

For home defence you'll get a shotgun. For race war you'll get a .308

>>34114644
The only advantage of a .22 for home defense is it basically turns into highly accurate full auto dart gun. In the tim it takes to put 3 9mm rounds on a guy you can have 10 .22lr rounds on him.
I'll stick to 9mm, but just sayin.

>>34115363
What if I can own guns and revolvers in .22 and caliber .38 for home defense? What is a good option to go? Take in count I can only own 1 gun

>>34114675

A crossbow would be brutal. You'd get a PTSD for life. The screams of the intruder would never leave you, the dying eyes filled with agony looking at you in vain would never clear your mind. Are you ready to live with that?

I use a 10/22 with a 20rd magazine, I've practiced to the point where I can empty it in about 3 seconds and score all hits on a man size target at 10m. I'd be freaked out in a proper situation obviously, but I can put more lead into a target a second than someone with a pump action loaded with buckshot. It's light, easy to turn and point and my wife can use it almost as easily as I can.

>>34115411
.38

>>34116251
That's gonna leave a mark

A full auto American 180 is the only practical 22lr home defense weapon. Fact.

Post nudes.

My home SD consists of a Glock 30 .45 in a fingerprint ID quicksafe beside the bed, a Mossy 12 gauge with 00 buck behind the bedroom door, and an AR-15 in a concealed cabinet in the living room, and a .357 S&W on top of the entertainment center.

That being said, I have a .22 Marlin 60 that I'd be plenty comfortable with if I needed to use it for SD. 18 rounds, semiauto. Bad guy isn't leaving the house after breaking in. My only concern is that since I'm shooting until the bad guy drops, they may find some extra rounds in the back during autopsy, whereas there's much more likely a one-shot drop with the others.

I EDC a .38 S&W Airweight.

I have a piece of crap .22 RG revolver in the car console. I say piece of crap only because it's cheap and so I wouldn't expect it to last a whole bunch of rounds, but it's been completely reliable. If I could get to that first, I'd feel fine to drop an attacker. Maybe not more than one or two, though.

wounded deer wont just run for a few minutes, I have seen deer literally have a quarter sized hole through their heart and they still run 200 yards which doesnt even seem physically possible

furthermore my friend nd'd a 22 lr into his leg and he didn't even realize it until half an hour later. Would you trust your life to something like that?

Imagine stabbing someone with with a poker the diameter of a 22lr bullet except the poker can only go in three inches, why would you use that.

there is your problem use .22 Eargensplittenloudenboomer

>>34114644
one time a guy told me his 10/22 never jams, he let me fire it then I took it and rotated it with the bolt facing up and rapid fired a few rounds and it jammed immediately. He was not happy. Probably the nicest 10/22 ive ever seen though, stainless steel and thumb hole stock was sexy

>>34119443
my .22's jam like crazy I am using illegal magazines though fuck Canada.

Agree in part with this guy.

My deer - 3 year old doe - taken last year ran 50yds with her heart literally blown in two, no right shoulder or sternum (150gn Hornady SST in .308) she was dead when she hit the ground but not before she made the tree line. That said, tracking was easy because she basically left her entire blood supply along those fifty yards.

However from working with local fishcops I can attest to 22lr being popular with poachers. They almost always go for headshots and have great success with them. However they also do not care about lost animals or legal consequences.

I also know one guy who hunts feral pigs with a 10/22 with a 30rd mag. He just mag dumps at them and doesn't care if he retrieves the body but assures me it is effective at Removing Bacon.

>>34114644
You use 22lr to shoot their joints so they can't run away and finish them with a knife.

>>34120196
Amateur. You shoot them in the ballsack with a Red Ryder BB gun and then jump them with a spork while they're distracted by the pain.

If you want to shoot people, just get a Mini 30 and handload 125 grain hunting bullets. Say hello to stopping power.

>Because as .22 lovers will tell you
Found your problem, never listen to 22 fags

.22 hornet is the best .22

>>34114644
Were you the retard asking if you should buy a .22 or a .357 levergun for HD? Because if you are, we all told you the answer was neither.

>>34114644
buy a fucking ar-15, aren't they cheap as dirt now?

>>34114644
You really must be fucking stupid if you interpreted, "it can kill" to "it can defend".

here is a .22lr dropping a 400 lb hog in one shot
https://youtu.be/4J7kgpIaGeI

a .22lr is the same diameter projectile as a 5.56. it puts the same size hole in you.
however, with much less powder, it travels slower and tumbles when it goes in doing more damage then a 5.56.
So, do you think an AR is suitable for defense?
