You ever do drugs? When someone's high they can feel like superman. Amped up on meth or crack and it will take a lot more to stop them than the average person. Then again, the likelihood of being attacked by a sober Joe is a lot less likely. --70.44.xxx.xx

Why have you been tased 5 time?! --70.160.xxx.xxx

I'm not sure I'd have purchased a gun for an employee. I'm generally not one to be timid about a lot of "what ifs" ... but that would be a big one in today's climate. Being your employee puts you already on the line should the terrible occur = you handing that individual a gun would not be extra ammunition (!) I'd not want to provide a plaintiff/victim (probably criminal) --72.70.xxx.xxx

I like the 9mm. --73.120.xx.xxx

Where are you getting ammo right now? --73.120.xx.xxx

6x6 good question. I ordered 2 cases and the delivery date it out to late November, normally it takes less than 10 days to get it. --64.130.xx.xxx

When I was hit the first time--- lightening bolts were in my eye's-- it was amazing light display. --99.103.xxx.xxx

That's worse then being tazed I would imagine. Sounds painful. --73.120.xx.xxx

--47.155.xx.xxx

The instructor I had said that if you ever have to shoot someone then make sure you kill them or they will sue you. I would bet the family would anyway. --73.120.xx.xxx

Then shut up! Let the adrenaline subside & get thinking clearly. --70.160.xxx.xxx

6x6 i just bought 50 rounds of 12 gauge 4 shot today at my local gun/survival store i was surprised at the volume of ammo he had based on what everyone has said lately about everyone being out --104.229.xxx.xxx

I have M&P 380 & G43x. very difficult to find ammo. plenty of shotgun shells. --107.77.xxx.xxx

6X you have no idea. Do you know that passes to anyone your touching at the time-- yea they forgot that part in the lecture. (think on what i'm saying here) --99.103.xxx.xxx

m&p is 8 & glock is 10. what do you have myob that is only 6. g17 is 8 (?) --107.77.xxx.xxx

myob: always best to go out the back door then to be a rambo. but I keep short barrel shotgun under my side of the bed to deal with home intruders who get past the dogs. pistols require targeting. shotguns just need pointed in the general direction....I suppose just a lot more splatter to clean up. --107.77.xxx.xxx

and so on, you get the picture. From what I remember a 9 mm will do the trick in two shots on average while a .380 can take 3 or more. NOT SURE. But a .380 gun can be very small and easily hidden, while a 9 mm is larger and harder to hide from plain sight. --47.155.xx.xxx

Practice and practice! A .45 will rip right out of your hands if you have no experience. --70.44.xxx.xx

I'm looking for a shotgun. A tree crew came to my home and one of them was looking around my house and asked how many bedrooms my house had. You know they want to take our homes. --71.104.xx.xxx

If you carry, you must have personal and legal liability insurance of the type to protect you with costs of legal fees and false claims. It is very cheap compared to being on your own when the smoke clears. --184.57.xxx.xx

On a side note: I lost a .380 recently that was in my brief bag in the floor board of my pick up. Here's how. Although I layed my black brief bag flat on the floor in back before going into h-depot. What I think happened is I have a key fob that when you get close to the truck or touch the handle the locks open. I was halfway in the store and went back to the truck but didn't open the door-- but must have activated the unlock without realizing. That afternoon notice brief was gone. --99.103.xxx.xxx

MYOB--You have a six shot magazine,not a clip --73.141.xxx.xx

You may want to report that lost .380. If that's used in a crime, it's linked to you. --70.44.xxx.xx

I use to have a 44 magnum revolver 4" barrel. No fun. Traded it. --73.120.xx.xxx

Sig makes a really nice P365 that is a sub compact 10 round 9mm. --74.130.xxx.xxx

as NE says. 22 will kill you dead just as any thing else will kill you. but if I have to shoot I don’t want to wait for them to die. 380 & 9mm will do the trick at close quarters. shotgun is best home defense. ALWAYS best to have mindset to go out the back door if able. too many wannabe rambos.. --107.77.xxx.xxx

you all seen pulp fiction where they're in the room and the guy comes out of the bath room blasting? all the shots miss the 2 bad guys-- i can see myself as the guy coming out blasting and missing everyone. --99.103.xxx.xxx

lol myob. is why I have shotgun for home defense. point in general direction & no miss....is a magazine though... --107.77.xxx.xxx

Problem with a 9mm is that they are harder to conceal. If you want peace, prepare for war. --68.118.xxx.xx

The saying goes, your pistol is to buy you time to get to your rifle! Haha. Where's LTD?? --70.44.xxx.xx

NE, my 180 pound St Bernards job is to give me time to get to my shotgun --104.229.xxx.xxx

the 18lb pug once chased off a coyote stalking the 80lb pound dog. she is the alarm dog. big dog is attack dog. --72.180.xx.xxx

--99.103.xxx.xxx

I had to look it up. I thought it was a new type of gun or something. --73.120.xx.xxx

6x6 yes my stepson got us the whiskey barrels for him and the 136 pound St Bernard puppy,they look real nice with the barrels on at Christmas.I do believe not many guys would break into my house with him here,his bark is real loud --104.229.xxx.xxx

Did ANYONE see what I wrote before it was pulled? Just say yes or no. --71.104.xx.xxx

It is still there. --73.120.xx.xxx

6x6, I believe 2 of her postings were pulled and IMHO they did her a favor. Unless the posts I am thinking about are somewhere else. --68.107.xxx.xxx

--70.20.xx.xx

Stop the favoritism. --199.192.xxx.x

had good information you needed to know about who is behind the latest home terror movement. Too bad. Follow Dan Bongino. He knows on Twitter. --71.104.xx.xxx

Read my OT climate and see the last reference-- "so where ya gonna go" if your a parrot-head you'll get it. all aglow! --99.103.xxx.xxx

good point myob on keeping spring fresh. thx for advice. --72.180.xx.xxx

Thought I was in an iffy neighbourhood until I started to read the other posts,now not so much. Living in New Haven it would be similar to treason if I got something other than a Winchester. After all there’s a whole Street named after them,and they’re hard to beat.....????.......................charlie,.... and coming from Northern Ireland they even have a reputation there in the fields of oats and..........potatoe drilling --32.214.xxx.xx

That should be “drills”....... .................charlie.................................. --32.214.xxx.xx

Maybe I’ll go with the Texas lad from Georgia and get the air fryer thing a may jog just to be on the safe side ,Don’t want to ruffle any feathers with the lads on Winchester Avenue.............charlie.................................. --32.214.xxx.xx

Boy do I have a lot to learn. My husband just got a shotgun for the coyote that was hanging out in the back field. Looks like I need to go take classes at Sig. I’m certainly not ready to carry and would probably sell if it comes to that. Missing LTD in this conversation. --73.17.xx.xxx

I'd toyed with the idea of getting a gun, years ago, and learning to shoot...but then I read there's a lot more costs than just buying the gun, you have buy a proper case for it, maintain your abilities...the article made it sound expensive and I can be kind of cheap...is it very expensive? --72.188.xxx.xxx

--107.216.xxx.xxx

ah Sid......what “clips” do you have that hold 15 rounds (?) or perhaps referring to a magazine ? two different things as any gun owner or ex military knows....a short barrel shotgun would work best for self defense. I do also have glock43x with hollow points..in the magazine...still. always best to go out the back door first if possible. your reference to “marksmenship” for self defense is irrelevant Sid. That applies really to target shooting in the military. your “advice” is what give responsible gun owners bad press. --107.77.xxx.xxx
