Actually Harry, I'd feel very fortunate to use a pisol against a human
assailant.

If a person does not possess the confidence to face an opponent empty
handed, that person needs training. There are many ways to kill or
disable an opponent bare handed. Those who must rely on a weapon just
demonstrate their own inadequacy, although, it DOES make it a hell of a
lot easier. And you don't have to get your hands dirty or your hair
messed up.

Ultimately, the pen *is* mightier than the sword.



If someone breaks into my house at night while we are at home, he is going
to be facing a firearm pointed at him.

You'd be firing blindly from under your desk, you wimpy, lard-ass, pillow
biter. We're all scared to death of you... you might get a lucky shot!
WAFA!!!

A friend of mine has one of those J frame 5 shot revolvers. It's a
very nice little weapon. My youngest's back up weapon for a while was
a stubbie .38 - I shot it a couple of times - nice weapon.

Ruger makes a six shot .357 in a stubbie version - can't remember the
exact model number - I like that one a lot.

They are talking about having a renewable carry permit here in CT -
I'm not sure I could qualify to carry anymore. Hopefully, they will
grandfather previous permits over.

I hope. :)

Karate is great, unless the other guy has a .44 magnum pointed at your
head.

Black pepper. *I had a self defense guru tell me one time that for
close in mugging, nothing beats a palm full of black pepper in the
face.

When you think about it, makes perfect sense.

I also like the small personal Tasers. *Those look like a fairly
decent issue to use - non-lethal and you can deal out some punishment
without getting too close. *:)

Tom, that's fine if you have the pepper.

And Tom, if the .44 gave you that much grief, If I were you, I'd
seriously consider leaving the Desert Eagle alone.

seriously.

I did qualify that with a "maybe". :)

Somebody that I know who knows somebody that knows somebody who knows
somebody else (wink wink - nudge nudge) has an AK that, um..."works"
if you get my drift. He had it up at the Turkey Shoot the other day -
man, it still shoots sweet as can be.

That's one fine weapon.

The nice thing about it is that it's not a normal "stubbie" - the
barrel is two inches longer which improves accuracy up to about 45
yards or so.


Gosh, just what are you shooting at offhand at 45 yards with improved
accuracy with that retrofitted, 4" barrel revolver? Something really big?

Notice how your ex-best friend doesn't respond to you anymore. Sheez, not
only a year or so ago, you held Tom to the highest regard. Now, that he's
realized what a worthless piece of garbage you are, you lambast him at every
opportunity. You're such a nice guy, hairy. You must have lots of friends...
besides donny, and slammie of course.

I have the .357 model 60 J frame 5 shot. I have a Safariland paddle that
I carry it on that is very comfortable and concealable. When I went to
shoot it at The Gun Store in Vegas, I got all signed in, and the guy said,
"Where's your gun?" I pulled it out, and he was surprised. It actually
rides behind my midline. I like my KelTec 3AT for just a really
concealable gun, and I don't care to hear any jokes or comments on the
.380 Kurz, thank you very much. But when I want to feel safe, I take the
Smith. At times, I like my Ruger P93DC just for firepower. It rides
pretty comfortably on my appendix in a Galco. But still, the 3AT is a
front pocket, back pocket, inside the belt really concealable gun.

Nevada no longer has reciprocity with Utah, as Utah has no live fire
qualifications when getting a CCF permit for Utah. So, I have to watch
carrying in Nevada now.

MHO YMMV

Steve


Just get a Nevada CCW also. I am pretty sure they have a non-resident
program.

Certainly a fine boat defense weapon... :-)

Especially if it, um, "works".

I'm good for concealed carry from Delaware down to Florida, but I rarely
carry unless we're taking a road trip down I-95 to Florida and we'll be
driving at night. I don't drive north much these days, just a quick trip
last summer to Connecticut.

Yep.

The concept has been around for a while. Based on what I know, it
seems like an awful lot of work to produce a rather insignificant
increase in output - the input/output energy ratio if you will.

I mean if you have to power the thing with a nuclear reactor to get a
reactors worth of output plus 20% what's the point?

Unless there is some significant and major development in containment
technology, this is only an interesting experiment. And while it may
advance the fusion power knowledge base, which is a good thing (I'm
all for research and development), I still think that the only usable
fusion power in quantities to power everything and anything, will be
free space fusion power contained by magnetic bottles rather than
physical bottles and that is only going to be done in space - not here
on Earth where it is needed.

It's a Holy Grail type search. I'm all for going for it, but I'm not
holding out hope we'll get there in the next 50 years.

An absolutely idiotic choice for a home defense weapon. Crikey, it must
weigh four pounds. It's big, bulky, and fires a round that will likely
go right through a house wall, through a neighbor's house wall, and kill
that neighbor's cocker spaniel.

It's sort of the Cigarette boat of pistols, used, no doubt, by the same
sort of guys.
