Take a look at the first pic. The 6 weapons in the first pic represent 6 weapon categories:
1. Assegai / Short Spear
2. 1-handed sharpie/ouchie: short sword / long bayo / naval dirk / gladius / kuhkri / machete
3. Two-handed sharpie/ouchie: short sword / chisa katana, chinese war sword, etc.
4. Baseball bat / stick / basic club
5. Shotgun
6. Handgun
Now add to these 6 the following three catogories:
7. OC spray / mace
8. Taser (NOT stun gun)
9. Other NON-firearm weapon (specify)
Now, tell me YOUR choice A and choice B, among those 9 only (i.e. if limited to these 9 only), for home invaders, and tell me your spouse or "significant other's" choice A and choice B, please (which one you would tell or recommend your spouse or S.O. to use).**
Next, after answering that, in addition to those 9 choices, add the following three additional categories of long guns, as added in the second pic:
10. Pistol-caliber carbine
11. Rifle-caliber carbine
12. Other long gun (long rifle, machine gun, combo gun)(specify)(.50 BMG?)
Now, with these two added, tell me YOUR choice A and choice B among these 12, for home defense, and your spouse or S.O.'s choice A and choice B, please. Did your choices change or stay the same?
Is there a point to this exercise? No, not really, other than to satisfy my own curiosity.
**Edited: Note: As mentioned below, you can substitute sister/mother/children for spouse/S.O., and please do, in these questions. Anyone close to you who may want or need to protect themselves from a home invader, either in your home or in their own.
