So... has your family planned for a home invasion? I have had many fantasies involving the use of a photo flash lamp and my Altoona Curve miniature souvenir baseball bat.
I don't have the flash lamp anymore, though, so that just leaves me with the bat.

I keep my 45 under my pillow, loaded with hollow points. Sounds uncomfortable.
What's to be your carry weapon?

Hope you don't sneeze in your sleep, or it could cause problems for your significant other...

He also had another device that you drill into the floor by your front door. It's a bar that prevents a criminal front kicking down your front door.Well, he could just break a window.
Reminds me of a guy who parks his convertible on a city street with the doors locked. Zzzzzip goes the canvas.

I never owned a handgun until I bought a farm. Here I am the police, and I take my job seriously.

Given my disorientation and sluggishness when I am rudely awakened, I prefer to load my Browning 12 ga. I believe that I can hit what I am generally aiming at at 3 AM
faced with a ne'er do well in the family room.
Also can anyone think of a more stress inducing sound than the cocking of a shotgun punctuated by
FREEZE Mo*&*( F(#&_^ ?

"I was watching oprah one day...." Hmmm....
I'll bet the "expert" never mentioned buying and learning how to effectively use a short-barrelled 12 ga. or any other weapon for that matter. Just hiding and cowering until someone shows up with a gun is not the answer.
If they get through our barking and biting dogs they will have to penetrate our solid steel door. The next thing they will hear will be a loud noise followed by four more loud noises in rapid succession.
If that doesn't do the trick, then I'll invite them to stay for dinner. My wife's potato soup would surely finish them off (sorry, honey).
We don't call 911 out here in the sticks. Notifying the coroner's office would be the only call needed.

Hope you don't sneeze in your sleep, or it could cause problems for your significant other...You know, I don't think he cares much from 6,500 miles away. :) He'll keep it under his side of the bed when he gets back, but for now I like it right between our pillows. :)
To: Kaylee Frye
Very nice! Looks like an H&K. What caliber are you getting?
For about the same price, you could get one of these.

It's an H&K P2000SK 9mm. I've had experience with H&K and really like them. I like the P2000SK because of it's small size and a lot of the features. Unfortunately, it's about $850, which is a hair much for me to just go spend.

Why a shotgun? Pretty cumbersome indoors.

A classic!
The claw hammer is the perfect touch.
I have a shillelagh . . . and a .45 ACP.

Very good choice. The Germans build nice weapons.
They are pricey though. My wife likes the little brother of my Sig P226. Hers is a Sig P232:

>>I keep my 45 under my pillow, loaded with hollow points. I pity the fool. My first shot is almost always dead on. Now I just need my concealed carry permit.<<
I'm curious. My Grandmother told me that my Grandfather (Southern Baptist Preacher) slept with a pistol under his pillow. And I've never understood... She didn't think it was odd.
Wouldn't by the bed or at the head of the bed be just as good without all the risk? Don't you move around at night or fluff your pillow?

Anybody that comes into this house without my permission or a court order had better have the hole already dug.

Planting rose bushes around the windows is useful.

OK, but I think I'll stay with a Marlin .44 Magnum rifle NEAR the bed...
I expect to be on the other side of the world next spring, and my wife can keep it on her side then.

I have a king sized bed and it sits in the middle between the pillows. The only other place I could put it within reach is on my nightstand, but I worry that somehow I'd grab it when I was looking for the phone. Since the only thing in the middle of my bed is the gun, I don't have to worry about that.
To: Cobra64
Cool. I think I'll stick with the one I picked out. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get it!
