Irony Deficit (Pray and Spray)
Although it's true that the first poster was joking, there IS a serious issue here. CCW holders really ARE responsible for each and every bullet which leaves the muzzle of their gun. If you hit and kill an innocent bystander, the LEAST you can expect is to stand trial for manslaughter -- and that's only the criminal side of things. The civil side and lawyer fees will bankrupt you.
EVEN if you shoot someone righteously, someone who is obviously a threat to you, unless he turns out to be a notorious serial killer, plan on spending around $10,000 dollars in legal fees (according to Mas Ayoob, that's about par for the course).
So, except for the very rich and reckless, self-defense is a very serious matter with very serious consequences. Finally, as someone who most commonly carries an NAA Black Widow with only five rounds of .22 magnum HP, the mantra remains: shot placement, shot placement, shot placement. (Yes, I DO carry a .45 when I can. But usually my clothing requirements/situation preclude anything but deep carry. I could, of course, have gotten a Kel-Tec for the same price, but the price of ammo would have prevented extensive practice. With the .22 cylinder of the Black Widow, I have spent a LOT of hours shooting at targets from seven to twenty-five yards ... and can confidently know what my capabilities and limitations are with it.
