I check out these threads almost every day. They are starting to cause me problems. Not only am I buying way to many handguns, rifles and shotguns, now I'm having trouble deciding what to have next to my bed at night.
It used to be I felt fine with my Ruger GP-100 there at night.
Then I needed more firepower, and the Hi-Power came out of the safe.
9mm is no good I heard, so I bought a Colt .45 Gold Cup.
Can't carry that Gold Cup...too big for me. That led to the Baretta 21 in .25Caliber.
The .25 Caliber isn't powerful enough to be any good, like sticking someone with an ice pick, so I had to get the Colt Mustang .380.
Saw an Animal Control Officer try to put down a rabid racoon with a .380, and knew I needed a .357 carry gun...and my S&W 640-3 came home.
Preacherman talks about no pistol being the right weapon for self defense, so I order the Remington 870, but someone says the pellets deflect too much. so $625 goes for the Bushmaster .223.
Now I can't decide what goes in the drawer, what goes in the safe, and what stays beside the bed at night. My wife is wondering why the Electric bill is late and the car insurance is overdue. And I'm begging to think she suspects that all these guns by the bed aren't just "coming out of the safe for cleaning".
Good thing I have my Ruger Mod 1, Single Six, .357 SA, the double barrel 12 guage and those half dozen .22 rifles to fool her with, and the double barrel 12's and 20's almost look the same to her I think, but she started noticing that some are side by side and some over under. I told her they work that way.
Anyhow, no BG better come into my bedroom, cause I could do some serious damage just by throwing all these pieces of metal at them. Oh, did I mention the bayonetts and knives???
