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

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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".
