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

When you think about it, makes perfect sense.

I also like the small personal Tasers. *Those look like a fairly

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". :)

That's one fine weapon.

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

Especially if it, um, "works".

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.

I have always loved the looks of the Mossberg Mariner. And that nine shot
tube under the barrel makes it look like a 12 ga. over and under, 12 ga on
both holes. A sturdy gun that will hold up to salt water. Somewhat. I'd
like one for home defense, but I have a 1974 Remington 870 Wingmaster right
now that werks fer me.

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.

Who's talking about "home defense", Harry?

Maybe I'm wrong, but i thought we were talking about shooting a pistol
in general.

I believe I previously stated having a pistol like that is like have a
"cigarette-type penis boat," and that the same sort of guys would have
one, the other, or both.

I have no idea what purpose a pistol like that serves. I guess some guys
hunt with it. But it's too big and clumsy to use as an "oh-my-god-that
grizzly-is-charging" gun. It's certainly not a pistol for defense or
offense.

I looked it up. It *does* weigh about four pounds. Just what I'd want
for offhand shooting. :)

To each his/her own. There's no accounting for taste, right? My taste
gravitates towards finesse - old Porsches, Jags, Healeys, not Corvettes,
Hemis, or hot-rod Lincolns. :)

Some folks just seem to stay worried about being attacked.

All y'all's talking about pistols makes me want to go buy one. I
wonder what it is about some of us and guns. I personally don't think
it's possible to have too many. They're fun to shoot, fun to clean,
fun to just mess with, and nothing smells better than gun oil. Of
course, my wife doesn't think it's cool for me to dip the swabs and
then shove one in each nostril.

All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.
