What's the smallest caliber firearm you'd use to protect you

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

9mm. I feel anything smaller wouldn't have the stopping power needed to stop someone in their tracks. Sure, they'll die, but it won't actually stop them instantly.

Although I was quite comfortable with my .40 caliber.

You people and your guns, I don't know.

Green Mango Ninja styles don't need no guns. Better hitting power, will drop all but the biggest beast.

Best of all - Ammo literally grows on trees.

I shit you not. My 12 gauge flare gun had inserts for .22, .22 WMag, .38, .44 , for shooting noisy birds at the cottage. With muzzle brake and silencer.

Fucking .22WMag was the only load to blow my gun receiver up. Quelle surprise!
