i probably watch too many movies.
i just figured i could shoot their hand or leg and run away and call the police. heheh
i guess thats how a 22 year old girl would think

if you feel that you would not want to kill anything, than i _highly_ suggest you do not own a firearm for defensive purposes. own one to go out to the range and plink around, a .22 is fine for that. but keep it unloaded and securely locked at home where it would not be easy for you or an intruder to get to.
in a defensive situation you cannot hesitate, or that weapon could very likely be used against you. if there is _any_ doubt while not under the stress of such, than it would only be presumed worse when the situation arises.
you've got to be able to pull the trigger, or it's more of a danger to you than anyone else. you have to *know* this before hand.
