Fair point on the pepper spray, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you. Maybe a tazer?

No .50 bmg? But I wanted her to be able to kill that awkward elephant in the room and break both of her arms off at the same time!

She has pepper spray. I don't know whether or not firing a gun will be hard, that's something I'll have to learn at the range. So I guess I'm looking for suggestions for 38 specials and .380 autos to have her look at.

Not looking to decide for her, or for anyone else to do so. I am simply looking for suggestions that I can have her look at as a starting point. I am worried about her being able to work the slide. I'm also worried about the trigger pull on a DA revolver. I think we'll have to wait until I...

Ok, so I have a very strange situation that I would like your thoughts on. My mother is pretty sick (paraplegic, heart failure, colon cancer). She is on oxygen full time, but doesn't need very much (they are talking about putting her on a device that only gives her oxygen when she breathes...

Woof. That's easy. It would suck, but the decision isn't all that difficult. 2 guns: Remington 870 (Food/Primary defensive gun) and Autoloading pistol (to get me to the shotgun) 50 rounds for the pistol, 450 for the shotgun (100 00 buck for defense and 350 assorted as is best for the game that...

Remington 870 with short and long barrel Semi-Auto Pistol (I'll take a Glock 22) .357 Mag Revolver Remington 597 (or 10/22, if that's your preference) Marlin 336 30-30 Remington 700 in 30-06 Find me a job that needs doing that you can't do with those. I know someone will say you need a "battle...

Ok, so I have changed my thinking yet again. I went back to the range, and met a guy who happened to own a CZ. He told me to meet him there the next day, and he'd let me shoot it. I did so, and while I liked it, I wasn't as comfortable with it as I was with the striker fired pistols...

go out and buy 10 gerbers... are they the same quality as the sebenza? no... but they are fine knives, and you can get 10 for that price.

Oh also looked at the Ruger SR1911

Yea, I keep going back and forth on budget vs buying what I really want lol (9 mm vs 1911 .45 auto). The 40 s&w idea was intended as a possible compromise. Right now I'm kinda leaning towards a 1911, just because that's what I really want. Buy once cry once right? Once I buy the 9mm ($400-500)...

Henschmen: well said, I think you've got me there.

I'm sorry for the off topic post, but sometimes people really bother me. Now for a more on topic post: I think that "brainwashing" for or against anything is a terrible idea. It is much better to teach children as objectively as possible the pros and cons of what ever the topic is, whether it...

"liberals"....? really? This is exactly what is wrong with this country. Just because someone has a different set of beliefs than you does not make them retarded, or stupid or any of the other insults that get thrown around when politics is the topic of discussion. I would be hard pressed to...

In other words, if rights can be forfeit as punishment for an indiscretion of some sort, they are merely privileges. Some privileges require a harsher offense for them to be forfeit than others. We may speak of those privileges that require the harshest offenses to justify their forfeiture as...
