A .22 is all most people need. Aim small, miss small. 1st time I shot mine I nailed bullseyes 1st 4 or 5. Quick reload as well.

sgammo.com stopped taking orders because they are about 10 days behind on fulfillment.
Several shops in my area are completely sold out.
One shop (who I'm buying a can from) was about to order a 55-gallon drum (12,500 rounds) of 5.56 to repackage and sell ... partly because that's all he can get right now.

The great thing about .22 is that it is easy to not only get back on target quickly, but to just keep it on target in the first place.
That big spinner is going to work the wrist and forearm a little just by virtue of the action sitting so high in relation to the wrist; it creates a natural pivot/lever where all the energy goes.

STFU and do his job. Stop projecting his flaws on Obama and the Democrats. This happened under his watch and he’s still lying about the test kits. Testing started way too late and you can’t get tested if you want to get tested like trump said you could. Recklessly trump put many American’s in harms way. The majority of test kits are still promised to come. But when? And still trump could have used the World Health Org test in the meantime until the USA developed their own testing and procedures.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday that the blame for the slow pace of testing for coronavirus in the U.S. does not lie with either President Trump or the CDC.
Fauci told Hugh Hewitt on "The Hugh Hewitt" show that a "technical glitch" resulted in the delay in production of usable tests in the U.S., something Fauci prescribed to random error.
"It was a complicated series of multiple things that conflated that just, you know, went the wrong way. One of them was a technical glitch that slowed things down in the beginning. Nobody’s fault. There wasn’t any bad guys there. It just happened," Fauci said.
"Was the glitch or anything about the production of the test President Trump’s fault?" Hewitt responded. "Or actually, let me put it more broadly, would every president have run into the same problem?"
"Oh, absolutely," Fauci replied. "This has nothing to do with anybody’s fault, certainly not the president’s fault."
His comments come as the U.S. health care system and the Trump administration have faced criticism over the low numbers of coronavirus tests being performed throughout the country as thousands of Americans have confirmed cases of the disease and thousands more have self-quarantined or practiced forms of social distancing to avoid spreading it further.
I am no expert on home defense. Killing people is not a passion of mine. LOL
However, I rely on two primary home defense weapons. A shotgun. Just engaging it will chase intruders off. It's number one in my opinion.
However, if someone would be able to get close to us while we are sleeping [my dogs would bark like crazy if someone was breaking in, but let's just pretend they didn't hear them] I think a smaller weapon is probably a better tool. Something that is easier to maneuver and shoot from any position.
Again, I am not an expert on such things. Just my thinking of how I defend my home.
"President Trump’s surprisingly sober press conference on Monday was reportedly sparked by a British study suggesting that the U.S. could face 2.2 million fatalities if the coronavirus epidemic goes unabated."
Hell the mitigated numbers are insane! We're looking at 1.1 million deaths by the time this plays out even with everything we are doing?

Depends on the shotgun. My home defense shotgun has a shorter barrel than a field gun and a folding stock. I can use it to clear corners and doorways quite effectively.
Also, don't forget that there is a difference between cover and concealment. If you know where the bad guy is on the other side of a wall or doorway, shoot through the wall. Twice.

LOL...........but, good points. Again, I am far from an expert on such things. I just know my two weapons of choice for home defense. That doesn't mean I am correct. Just conversing.
For what it's worth: My Dad (retired FBI agent) his choice of home defense guns is a shotgun. I think because you can shoot it and not aim well and hit anybody in front of you.
He told me a story one time. About how FBI agents and bad guys would get in firefights. And the adrenaline would be so high that both sides would empty their guns and not hit anybody.
I bought my new gun today. And Ammo. It was a miracle as there is a massive run on guns and ammo right now.
I wound up just going to my range since they also are a gun store. I went in there and their gun shelves were mostly empty.
I asked if they have any shotguns? Nope Can they order shotguns? Nope Do they have any 38s? Nope
So then I must have looked exasperated because then he says if I want a home defense gun he has a 357 magnum.
I say no, that has way too much kick.
He says it can shoot 38 caliber rounds.
I say give it to me. So thats what I bought. And ammo. They are only selling ammo to people who buy guns or use their range.
My Dad has this gun and I shot it before with wad cutter bullets, so I was already familiar with it.
I feel much safer now.
So one day people are talking about not panicking - being sensible etc. The CV is like the flu. yadayadayada - the next we are out of toilet paper and sanitizer and folks are hoarding. Now folks are out stripping the shelves of gun stores like this is the Walking Dead.
Really can't make this stuff up. Do whatever you all need to do. Personally I think in the best of times feeling like you HAVE to own a gun for protection means you are living in fear - the public on mass going out panic buying at a time like this is most assuredly a fearful reaction. smh.
For all you know, the last ones standing could be the gun owners.
Its better to be safe than sorry.
I am a single white female living in a black neighborhood and driving a Jaguar. If any looting happens, they are coming to my house first.
You should move elsewhere. That’s what you told the people who can’t afford to live in their own cities like NYC, Boston, San Fran....remember? Your guns will likely be turned on you in this dreamed up zombie war of yours anyways. Pffft the trump era. Go buy some TP.

U.S. government, tech industry discussing ways to use smartphone location data to combat coronavirus
The U.S. government is in active talks with Facebook, Google and a wide array of tech companies and health experts about how they can use location data gleaned from Americans’ phones to combat the novel coronavirus, including tracking whether people are keeping one another at safe distances to stem the outbreak.
Location data isn't really anonymous though, it really can't be. Getting this kinda data right now requires a Warrant from a judge, are we just going to go around our legal protection process because people are freaking out over this?

Smart move. It's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Wow. I'll just say that I know you are not the person that this makes you sound like and leave it at that. But I do want to point out a couple of facts to help give you some peace of mind.
Jags are sweet cars and I love the way they look... but it ain't no Bentley or Rolls. A Jag is basically a nice body on a ford taurus chassis. All dressed up but the similar under the hood.
And most black people that I know would avoid targeting a white woman just because of the price they would pay in an American court. Everybody knows a black on black crime would be treated much differently.
Lastly, if you really feel that way, why the hell do you live in a black neighborhood? I can't imagine feeling like I'd be target #1 and still being comfortable living there. smfh

Thought everyone else would like to know that MAGA hats outsold Paper Towels last week.
So they can use them in place of TP?
Sorry, couldn't help it.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Add that most phones do not have accurate enough GPS to identify the 6ft social distancing recommendation.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.
And yea, we’re apparently calling it the Chinese virus now. I was skeptical about people being upset when they called it the wuhan virus, but it’s now clear there’s an agenda behind it.
I hate to say this, but don’t be surprised if this is a precursor to ramping up the trade war with China.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

In general I like black people very much and all races of people.
So I never had a problem living here and I like my neighbors very much.
The real threat with this virus is not the virus, its the people. Because desperate people are waaaaaaay more dangerous. And shutting down the country is gonna make a lot of desperate people if this goes on for very long.
I am a victim of home invasion and physical assault by a black man, so I keep it real. I am not naive about what happens in society.
People riot and loot about stupid things. You think they aren't gonna riot about this? Why do you think the government is trying so damn hard to prevent a panic.
So let me get this straight. We have someone who rarely posts in the political form, which was designed expressly for talking about politics, to tell us we should ignore what the president, a politician, said which set us backwards in properly giving the warnings he should have been giving the American people weeks ago.
Well alrighty then....

We should all embrace the wonderful socialism displayed by the Trump administration today! Government check for everybody, free medical for everybody, guaranteed rent/continued housing for everybody, government control of factory production and oversight of private industry for the good of all... Guess we have a socialist country under Trump! And centrist dems will not complain because MSM and their corporate donors want this too.
If he keeps this up, I might have to vote for Trump!

I predicted this last week in the other thread, did I not?
Y'all better start listening to me, I know whats up.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
wow bro, it might drop below 18k today. How many triggers went off today so far? I knew it would take a hit when Trump spoke about bailing out working people, the markets hate that.

Please don't trick anyone into investing now 40. Have you not been listening to how bad they think this will get? The markets are going much lower before this is over. I won't be surprised to see runs on banks soon.

But apparently that was an isolated single model. So you are right.
And you missed my point about the Jaguar too. If you're gonna loot someone, you don't go to the poor person's house. You go to the house of the person with money.
You were in the military. Did they not teach you how to think tactically? Time to get smart. Omg.
