Home defense. What' you have ?
« on: March 27, 2023, 08:38:04 PM »
Besides the grenades and the 105mm, I have a single action Colt 45, a 32 Winchester and a few black powder pistols.  I have nothing that I would use in home defense. The 45 and 32 bullets would end up in the house across the street. So I'm thinkin a 12 gauge. Not a long gun. A shorty.

This one or something along these lines. What you have or not ?

That is subjective, as there is no such thing as a "safe" place. :devil

All shotguns by definition are long guns.

German Shepherds
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

While I don’t have a GSD I do have a well trained bulldog. He’s much larger than most English bulldogs and he comes from Euro stock that was bred for working and not the show ring.

He’s not quite to a personal protection dog level as he hurt his knee while working but he has all the commands down and I pity anyone who would attempt to put a hand on either my wife or I. 95lbs of beasty will be there to remove said hand.

At the very least they will give us time to make a move or get away. If you’re going to shoot them you better do it super fast and not miss because they will be all over you in a New York minute.

A pit bull and 9mm glock

Pray neither are ever used for self defense
