Carrying a .22LR for self-defense is discouraged due to potential issues under stress. Stress significantly degrades accuracy, making precise shot placement with a small caliber difficult.

Furthermore, rimfire ammunition is inherently less reliable than centerfire, increasing the risk of malfunctions like failures to fire.
