Have you ever drawn down and been laughed at?

I dont care if its a .380 or a .22, if she was at the business end of your .380 she wouldnt be calling it a P!$$Y gun.

This may be the perfect reason to get her involved in learning how to use the firearms that you keep around the house incase you not home.....yada yada yada....

Glad that whole thing worked out well.
 
To all concerned...you're welcom...the story was meant to draw a smile or two. Now to answer the questions....




"1. You best figure out who's going to wear the pants in this family."
Nobody was wearing pants....thats the beauty of sleeping with WOMEN!!!
In fact I prefer neither of us wearing pants...haha...


2." Never admit you've made a wrong decision regarding such macho matters."
What can I say...when you've seen my magnum....a .380 just won't be that impressive...hahaha



3." Call her bluff. Forget the budget priced Taurus. This is a great excuse for getting yourself a Kimber, Colt, HK or some other high end "shoot'n iron"
You're darn right....I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT!!! I can't believe I never thought of it. Live and learn...thank you master Yoda.:D
 
Nope, never. In fact..........

One night about 12:30, I heard muffled voices between my house and the neighbor's. As I was straining to hear, the wife asked, "Do you hear voices?" That was it, grab a gun, (happened to be my Mark IV pin shooter) and investigate. Looking around the porch I spied 3 very wide-eyed kids, about 17 years old. Then it hit me and I said, "Anthony, is that you?" (the kid next door) He said "Yeah Steve." Evidently the kids were talking to him through his bedroom window. "Sorry fellas," I said as I turned to go back into the house. I heard one of them say, "That's ok mister, I gotta go change my pants now."
 
You might tell her that more civilians have been killed by .22's than by any other caliber. You don't have to tell her it's because a) there are MORE .22's out there than any other caliber and b) most beginners start with a .22, so there are a lot of them in unskilled hands.
 
Per the handgun classes I've taken, if someone has broken into your house it is not a good idea looking for them. You will be at a disadvantage. The BG may well hear you, sit in wait, and pop you as you walk by. If there is more than one BG even more reason not to go looking for them. You are better off setting up a defence in your bedroom and waiting for the BG to walk through your door. It may not seem like the manly thing to do, but it puts the odds more in your favor.

Normally I would agree with this assessment, but what if you have others in your house? Children, elderly, the unarmed?

"Normally I would agree with this assessment, but what if you have others in your house? Children, elderly, the unarmed?"


Then you have a plan to gather together the children, elderly and the unarmed into a room with you. Or, you all get out of the house.

To go in search of a BG and not be sure of where your kids are can be a big problem, putting you at an even bigger disadvantage against a BG. And, you certainly don't want to accidently shoot one of your kids.

I'm sure others more knowledgable than I am on this topic can give you a better answer.

Home searches are dangerous.....period. Searching a house properly takes 2 people a long time and for one person what seems eternity. 1 person would really struggle at searching a house and cannot afford the slightest foul up. You do have to remember however, most bad guys are not tactical....many would be shocked to be confronted by an armed home owner, but it isn't worth the risk. Get a safe room or set up a plan for your spouse "barricade" themselves in or back you up and you barricade yourself with the kids. Call the police before anything and try to think in sections. For instance, if you have a second floor that is small enough....get your spouse to cover the stairs while you sweep the rest of the house. Upon being clear, cover the stairs from behind cover. Make the funnel work for you.

If you are not 90 percent sure no body is upstairs, and you have no compelling reason other than your stuff to leave the safe room...ie. kids....then lock yourself in with a gun and dust anything that comes through the door. But try to make doorways, lighting, stairs and familiar territory work for you. Tactics win fights....not fancy guns.
 
I've just recently heard the "advice" is to hide in your bedroom, barricaded and armed.

What if the intruders decide to do a little fire-setting to destroy the evidence of their entry? Seems if you were barricaded in there'd be no time after the smoke started billowing under the door. Especially if you were on the second floor.

I'm also not entirely sure the police would be more interested in the people breaking in than my home defense stash. My father-in-law had 12 shotguns, some valuable, "get lost" from police custody after his murder, with the advice, "forget about it" to the family when they inquired about them to the police.

Joe ... sorry to hear that .. it stinks about every which way you look at it.:(
 
Joe...I would ask for the phone number to the internal affairs office. If no resolution comes by way of that go to the State Certification Board. In Texas this is the TCLEOSE council itself. If nothing there, a complaint to the Department of Justice would be in order, since this would be a conspiracy to commit a felony by a law enforcement officer...this would deffinantly be in their jurisdiction. By the way..."forget about it" won't work on the Federal Investigators...they usually have no sense of humor about this. I might be able to drum up some contacts for you if you email me privately.

Also...back to the origional posting of the thread...my girl forced me to go out and get her a "silver" pistol for my P01 since she recently discovered I wanted to trade it. Guess what she picked? A stainless steel Sig 232 in .380....you know....the "pussy gun". :scrutiny:

Anyways...it looks a lot bigger in her hand than mine....now thats logic.:confused:

Joe, when it comes to things like BGs starting fires, you have to have a plan and be flexable. It is good you are thinking about things like BG setting fires. It could save your life.

When it comes to the "missing" shotguns, I would get a lawyer and make waves. Maybe go to the media if necessary.

Good luck,
Rich
