[locked'n'cocked]

i'm not new to guns by any means. i own many and have grown up around them. for self defence however i don't understand "stopping power". i don't know if it is just me or what but i don't care what somebody shoots me with. if its a 9mm or a 45 it would suck. if it was a .22lr or a .25 or something i think it would suck just as much. i can understand if somebody was on drugs or something like that and needing to fold them up but a .22 hole in your head is just as bad as a .45 right? if somebody can enlighten me on this i would love it.
