    Nope. No way that's a .22. The bore is too large.

    Depends on where it hits.

    I'll defer because I don't know guns well. I was going off of the size of the gun (yeah, I know that only means so much) and the one she's holding looks a hell of a lot like this gun which is a .22.

    Looks like a Walther PPK in .380, possibly another brand in 9mm. Pretty sure it's the Walther, though, and they don't have one in .22 like that. He has a Colt rifle.

    Agreed. If it's not a PPK in .380 then it's a knockoff. Given the house, I'm guessing it's not a knockoff but the real thing.

    It's a Walther, either a PPK or a PPKs. The size of the bore tells me at a glance that it is not a .22. It is most likely a .380, a common bore in small concealable pocket pistols. It might be in 9mm, which is only slightly larger.

    Walther makes the PP and p22, both of which are in .22. I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

    That’s a PPK 380. My mother had one of those for a while when she was in law enforcement. Super-easy to use, light, and accurate as hell.

    Flip side: protecting their home and self defense are absolute rights.

    So regardless of how terrifying this photo appears ... what if these two had been approached beyond the point of where you HAVE to make that decision to defend yourself ... and they had shot 8 people dead in self-defense?
