Knowing how to use guns, I would have removed one or both of his knees.

In most jurisdictions, cops tell me, if he bleeds inside the house it's self defense. I would not allow for an assault charge or a civil lawsuit at a later time if I can beat the manslaughter first time out.

Guess what I saw today in a pawn shop? My husband and I had taken my mom to Dialysis and we had some time to kill. We have been looking
For a Bow so we went to this pawn shop and there were so many guns. I found a lady smith with a pink handle Snub nose. Cute.

They had a .38 Taurus. I don't like that brand. They a few Stars, don't like them either.

Taurus is all right. H&K is better.

I still like my Colt.

My husband has a colt and a few other guns. I like a revolver. Should have bought that pin LSW. Youi can find some good stuff in a pawn shop.

What might he have done if you hadn't had the gun?
He still threatened you when you had it.

It is conjecture , but I would want the gun in hand and I too would have used it had he moved towards me.

With the pistol, yes. With the shotgun I would have blown his head off. I am a lot more confident with a handgun and that's why the shotgun is gone.

I hope you can defend yourself where you are attacked.
And jurisdiction is everything for sure.

I was watching one of those Repoman shows and they said in Texas , after dark, you can shoot trespassers.

If someone broke into my house... I think I would fire at him. Scare him until the police got there. If somebody hurt one of my children or grandchildren.. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him till there were no more bullets in the gun.:eek:

What Ive always tried to explain to people that own or are thinking of owning a gun is the most important thing no matter what is that your comfortable with it. The brand nor size doesn't matter. So long as your comfortable. I have friends that shoot cowboy action and other that do IDp competitions and 3 gun competitions. And for all of them its different. My motto is.. if that is what you like - Go for It!!


Welcome to the thread Judy ;)

Taurus is actually making a comeback these days. Their pricing and quality of guns has gone way up. Mostly that's the semi-automatic ones. Im not sure about the wheel guns. They have a really nice 1911 in the lineup and its at a fair price.

I've said this before. When every kid in all of North America could shoot by the age of twelve, there was no such thing as "gun violence." There was violence, sometimes guns were used, sometimes frying pans, sometimes chainsaws.

Important to note that while this is true, societal/familial behaviour was also quite different then as well. There is no question that this also accounted for a lack of "gun violence"; likely to an even greater extent.

First han gun I ever owned was a two shot Derringer. Fit right in the palm of my hand. Hubby wants another Glock. A .9 mil.model 21.

Back in the day it wasn't as stressful and it wasn't as isolated in the big cities either. In today's times the only gun play children are getting is from video games. And not from the imagination like many used to have growing up. How did we all survive ?
