I live in a rural area and often find opossums and racoons in my garage and dog house in the winter. I want to dispatch them so that they don't continue to eat our barn cats food and fight them all the time.
I have several 9mm, but I'm always overly cautious shooting those inside my building. Would a 22lr pistol with shotshells be enough to dispatch them without risking much damage inside the outbuilding?
I have used my 22 rifle in the past with hollow points, but it went through the animal and out the side of the building. I don't love having to use a rifle inside a building when I could just use a handgun with shotshells if at all possible.
Quit shooting possums. They are awesome little things. They eat ticks, and are immune to rabies so nothing to worry about.

Technically yes, but do you not realize slang exists and most of North America shortens Opossum to just possum? So good try, but you failed. I bet you were the kid that reminded the teacher about the homework weren’t you?
