I heard this all my life. Ill take my chances with a .40 instead.

I say this. I have a friend, who in younger days was an IDOT. He and another guy threw a beer bottle at some hood rats on a street corner. They were drivin a jeep with a bikini top, and a dude on the street pulled out a .22 and let loose on them as they sped off.

A bullet struck his friend in the back of the head, but didnt penetrate the skull. It stayed under the skin, traveled around his head and exited above his eye brow. DR told him if it had been a center fire he'd be dead.
