i dont share that philosophy. i would rather the intruder hear that and run. if they dont, ive trained enough to face an intruder that is aware of my armed presence.
You can get shotgun and pistol rounds designed to flake apart upon passing through sheetrock.The odds that you will actually shoot "the bad guy" with a hand gun and not your neighbor or gf by accident aren't too good. You shoot and miss, that bullet goes through the wall across the street, into your kids room, etc. Sheetrock doesn't stop bullets. If you need hand gun to make you feel like a man that can protect himself then you really should put on a skirt and go swish it around somewhere.
On the other hand I think a nice shotgun is perfect for home defense. Easy to hit someone, intimidating and less likely to kill someone far away.
Yeah, and that is something we shall have to remedy IMO.
Sounds like you have one 'chambered' 24/7.
I was referring to the stick you keep chambered.Sounds like you are wrong.
Thanks for playing.

Yeah, why not? If it fits and it's your thing, all power to you. :\
You'd have made a great Nazi.
lol guns are illegal here. So are bombs and stuff. You can't just get that at the store like in the states. A robber would have a knife, at most.
Trust me I'd probably be terrified at first and back off, but the rage of knowing he is in my house wanting to take my items, I'd suddently react in any way possible to stop him. I would not really be scared to kill at this point. Probably get charged, but could maybe have a small chance of getting off for self defence. The issue would be the after math after he's down. I'd probably just keep hitting uncontrollably. Would be gruesome, but he'd never, ever rob a house again. You don't need a gun to protect yourself.

LMAO!! guns aren't evil and have minds of their own. Why does everyone think that gun owners will eventually end up shooting their families or innocent people? you act like gun owners are always playing with their guns in an unsafe manner or just itching to kill someone. it's like 99.9% untrue.

You somehow completely missed my point. This is why people hate most gun owners, they are too stupid to read a complete post let alone be trusted with a deadly weapon(same reason I hate most drivers too). I have no issues with gun ownership. I just think having a loaded pistol next to your bed is selfish and careless. 99.9% of people may not be itching to kill someone, but 100% of people can make a poor decision under pressure, and everyone is vulnerable to being temporarily insane.

Quick question for you. If you were the cop, what would you have done in the 1st scenario? You see a guy running down the street with a gun drawn, you identify yourself as a police officer and tell him to stop. Now what do you do when the guy turns toward you with his gun? What do you think is going through that cops head at the time?
