.22 long rifle is completely inadequate for defending your home. You might as well get an expensive air gun.

I wouldn't want to be shot with one but you don't need too much common sense to realize someone shot with the round, even at close range, is more than likely not going to be immobilized or seriously injured. They will still be able to cause you bodily harm.
