Excuse me but the chosen LEO back up gun is a .380 and they do carry them.
Where did you get this nugget of info?
From all that I have ever heard, seen, or read, the .38 snubbie is "the chosen LEO back up gun".
Now, to remove all of your confusion. When was the last time you had to shoot a human being to save your own life friend?
Well, I once shot a guy in Iraq, but looking back, I don't think that my life was really that much in danger.
He didn't die btw.
Did you know the sword is by far the most lethal weapon man has ever developed to kill another man.
A handgun of any caliber is only 20% effective as a lethal weapon. I just love internet caliber experts
I don't know where you got that notion but I think that it's total BS.
Swords don't compare to firearms in lethality.
Which is why you don't see armies fighting each other with swords these days.
Which would you rather face, an 8 year old African boy who is armed with a sword, or an 8 year old African boy armed with an AK-47?
What about a 70 year old woman armed with a sword, or a 70 year old woman armed with a Glock 19?
FWIW, I would say that the most lethal weapon man as ever devised to kill his fellow man is probably poison.
Now if you're talking about what primitive weapon (pre-firearms) that has killed the most people, I'm betting it still wasn't the sword.
I think the spear has killed much more people than the sword.
The spear was one of man's oldest weapons and was created long before swords were created.
Lots of societies never even had swords, of any kind.
But I can't recall ever hearing of any society that didn't use spears.
