I'm giving up my guns

[fjolnirsson]

Hmm.
As my own personal opinion, if it is to be your ONLY weapon, I would go for a pistol, simply because of potential for ccw. If you have an effective round in the weapon, it should suffice for home defense.
my two cents, ymmv.

Btw, sounds like your dads a great guy. Good way out of a sticky situation, although I would a gun back in the house asap. Hel, I wouldn't be without at least one. Ever. Always.

Shmackey - Do you believe that NPR is not biased?

Thaddeus, see my original post:

"Like almost everything else, NPR requires that I think about what I hear, and I can disagree with what I don't like. (Question for those of you who watch Fox "News": Do you believe every single thing they say?)"

In other words, of course NPR is biased, as is Fox "News." All journalism is biased. So we process what we hear and we make intelligent decisions. My opinion is that NPR has more material worth processing, for a number of reasons. If I wanted to listen to something that I was supposed to just absorb without intelligently assessing it, I'd call my mother-in-law.
