I kinda want to get something small like this (Ruger LCR .22 LR) for concealed carry. I've never owned a gun before, and based on my reading revolvers sound more reliable (plus I've always thought they looked cool). Went with 22 because of that time ammo got super expensive and 9mm was ridiculous compared to what you could get going for .22.

But is this gun stupid? Is concealed carry stupid? It's okay if I'm dumb, I know very little about guns other than like the last few nights I've spent trying to research a good, small concealed carry.

      I said

      people who didn’t fall to the ground within five feet of where they were standing when they were shot

      he said

      If the person shot was in the act of running (either towards or away from the shooter), he must have fallen to the ground within five feet.

      I know I didn't quote him directly, but you have to either be a dumbass or an asshole to not realize that that was what i was talking about.

      Enough talking about this old as dirt article, here's a more recent one that demonstrates my point.

          this is such a simple thing the only explanation for your continued replies is that you're fucking with me. last reply, i swear:

          his explanation for failure rate is as follows:

          What percentage of people were not incapacitated no matter how many rounds hit them

          of course the definition for incapacitation is relevant for the failure rate, because the failure rate is defined as the percentage of people who were shot but who did not meet the criteria for being incapacitated, ie they continued attacking their victim or did not collapse within five feet of where they were shot. His failure rate is not using some other, unstated definition for "not incapacitated", it is using the inverse of the established definition for "incapacitation".

          There's really nothing more I can do but type the thing in the linked page in sightly different ways over and over, and I've done that enough times so I'm going to stop.
