How do you sleep when there is rapid gunfire out your window at 3 AM?

What do you experienced gun toters think of the Beretta neo 22 pistol. http://www.beretta.com/Defence-Pisto...=82&f=2&id=826

I think I'm at my breaking point now to buy. I have not handled a pistol in 40 years. I did hunt a lot in my younger day and owned and handled 12 gauge double barrel and a Marlin 30-30. I am not yet licensed to conceal and carry. It is not something just to confront a person with but for personal protection while hiking around - which I do a lot alone.

I may have told this story but I am a veterinarian and do submissions for rabies testing for the local health dept when they request them. Some months back a man was jumped by 2 Pitbulls while out in the woods alone hunting. To his luck the offender launched into his backpack water pack on his back and began to shake him. He told me this saved his life. He was bit on the arm in the struggle. He pulled his weapon and the Pit was history. I probably would only carry this while in the wilds...but is it big enough.? most of you will say no but wouldn't it still do the job???

22 is enough for a person or dog with multiple shots... don't shoot for the skull though cus it will probobly bounce off. If you are really looking for protection you may want to go bigger .40-.45 (human/?) .44 mag if you need bear protection.
