An absolutely idiotic choice for a home defense weapon. Crikey, it must

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

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

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.

Dude - that's so true. Wives get all uppity just because you leave
your black powder rifle barrel in the tub to soak after a long session
at the target range.

Seriously - where else are you supposed to do that? Just because it
leaves a ring around the tub - damn... :)
