Re: Newbie questions on CHL gun selection

As far as the gun to use for the CHL, it must be above (i belive) a .380) so a .22 wont work. Also, just to clarify another posters comment on carrying any gun. If you qualify (take the shooting part of the exam) at CHL with a revolver, you can ONLY carry a revolver. If you qualify with a semi automatic, then you can carry either a semi auto OR a revolver.

Any size gun is better than no gun at all in a defensive situation. I have read a number of reports where for some folks 17 rounds with a hi powered weapon (center mass hits) wont immediately stop them, so realize that there isnt a magic bullet (which I am sure that you know) that will drop them. that being said, a .22/.380 shot to the skull or spinal cord will stop the attacker. There is alot of literature out there that goes into more detail.

Hope that you join the ranks of the CHL's soon!!!
