How hard do you work to dispell myths?

*Heck, I bought a pump shotgun so I never have to shoot anyone, the sound of the racking will scare off even the most hardened criminals,

I can't stand when people buy in to these kinds of things. That's along the same lines of "shoot him in the yard and drag him in the house".

If that worked you would just need a recording of that playing when your alarm went off.

It is a good point about the emotionalism. I think to be successful you have to be fairly dispassionate to keep the other person from having something to feed off of. Not monotone just straight forward, it would certainly be a bad time to prove things or score points.

I gave up on arguing a long time ago. I used to get burnt up over that **** but, I learned to just let it go. Their is rarely any reason to bother.

One of my roommates argued that his Beretta .40 S&W was better than my suited to stopping an attacker than my shotgun with 00 buck, on the basis that buckshot won't penetrate enough to inflict mortal wounds. I tried to explain that buckshot was serious business, and he may be confused with birdshot. He was drinking at the time.

I spend a lot of time on this forum trying to correct myths but I don't think many people are listening!
