[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2542091, member: 118816"] Well to my way of thinking, "None of the above!" I know many if not most of you will argue, and I spent 30 years of my life preserving, "Freedom of Speech," although many, mostly politicians, news media and special interests abuse that freedom while screaming at others that they are racist, anti american or a myriad of other things demeaning to any or all individuals. Actually Freedom of Speech as it is treated here is more like it was intended. We all have our own thoughts and differences, and I know mine are contrary to what the norm seems to be. With that being said, to all the members of this forum, "Thank you for quietly listening to what I have to say, (there are a few of you out there that are not exactly open to any discussion, especially from a woman) and have at least listened and conversed in a friendly manner about the many topics I choose to respond to. So here we go again when I make the statement that, "Bigger is not better." It is my opinion (And we all know what opinions are) that a high velocity heavy lead bullet such as Buffalo Bore in a .357 Magnum coming from at least a 4" barrel revolver (6 " even better) is going to be more effective than any large slow moving bullet from any semi auto.
