I am going to the range soon. I went to grab some ammo at Walmart and they were out of 9mm and .380. They had plenty of shotgun ammo and .22lr. If a nationwide crises happens I believe that 9mm will go first. It will probably be the most difficult caliber to find because federal agencies use it. I just got a .380 for my potential EDC but I am rethinking this decision. I think I will just get proficient with .22lr.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
.22lr underrated caliber due to availability

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hi Pandora,
Take your point about .22LR,but having seen what happens to a Hog shot at 70 Yards with a 12 guage Solid Ball,I would have chosen differently.

Pop anyone with enough rounds of any caliber, and they will reconsider attacking you.
Ok interesting. I have shunned away from practicing with shotguns because I am afraid of the recoil ( i havr fired them a couple times before). I should probably start practicing with them again. I have heard good things about them.
Maybe I wont use 12 gauge at first. Maybe I can start with .410 guage.
Yes exactly. With .22lr I can put many rounds on target very quickly.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Hey Pandora,
Well to overcome your ambivalence,why not buy an over and under Derringer .22 LR on top and .410 under?

Hi Pandora,
And then again"Bella Twin was a calm, quiet, clear-headed Cree Grandmother walking her trap line. May 10, 1957, killed a massive grizzly bear with her Cooey Ace #1 . 22,An old single shot tied together with fencing wire.That was near Slave Lake, Alberta, and the bear Twin killed turned out to be a world record that stood for a good long time".
