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.
"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.
.22lr underrated caliber due to availability

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes 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.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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".
