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

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.
