actually i disagree, my wife has a 9mm as do i, the reason i stay with the 9mm instead of going back to my .45 is the fact of short range stopping power. the primary purpose of my and my wife's 9's are home protection. the 45 will punch through at short range, < 10 yds. now in a shoulder wound i would rather have a 9 stay rather than a 45 punch, and who said that you only could shoot a "bad guy" once. we also go out shooting about 2-3 times a month just to keep familiar with the weapon. i see buying a handgun for protection and never shooting it until someone breaks in a bad case. by not being familiar with the weapon you are looking for trouble.

now for the NRA, good intentions but that is about it.
