If you teach her to shoot it decently Stats show a 22L will stop an attack with an average of 2 well placed shots. Less recoil would make better shot placement ect. This is for a small house not Afghanistan. As a vet i would be comfortable with it under those situations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768087807293352525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892675833560671041.post-978070081144442872015-12-28T23:36:49.923-05:002015-12-28T23:36:49.923-05:00I have to go to bat for the phoenix.
