If you just want to scare them away, nothing says get the **** out like chambering a shell in a pump shotgun.

Home Defense
« Reply #62 on: April 02, 2003, 05:23:40 PM »
For the best home defense, a .22 rifle with 18 shots is the way to go.

Then grab the shotgun to end the suffering of the wounded. ;)

[edit].44 would do a nice clean-up also.[/edit]

nothing beats a short barrel shotgun for home defense.

The rounds don't kill the kids in the next room.
Hard to miss.
Stopping power.

Houses here are made of concrete so I can go wild with the caliber :)

I think I'll go for my initial Glock choice, or a 1911, depending on how they feel at the range.

Never been shot with a .22 rifle, eh? You'll only do that once. And the 'crack, crack, crack' of 18 shots will make anyone run for cover.

As for the M16...semi-auto 30.06 will do more damage.

And you might only get one shot with a shotgun.

But for everyday 'walk down the street and get it' games, .44 pistol takes the cake.

I gotta admit a 9mm has the edge with a larger clip, but I prefer to knock down with 1 Black Talon round from my Ruger P90DC .45acp, call me Old School.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

You guys are bad!
« Reply #71 on: April 03, 2003, 07:10:49 AM »
I’ve been reading through this thread, and educating myself about guns. You guys sound like you’re tooling up to go to Iraq!  Bit late now...

Clearly some of you are worried about intruders, and a violation of your property. But how likely is this? I know the US well, and the areas I went to/lived in appeared to be relatively crime free. At my office in Golden,CO in 1997, people did not bother to lock their cars outside the building. So I’m wondering where some of your aggression comes from, or do many of you live in rough areas? I’d just like to make a few quotes from the above passage.
    • If yah need to pull it and squeeze, you'd better kill him.
    • Shoot to kill or don't even pull the gun out.
    • Its American as apple pie and makes holes in torsos that are big enough to throw a small child through.
    • This ought to take care of them pesky home intruders![/b]
    Wow! Just what sort of visitors do you expect in YOUR neighbourhood??? :eek::eek:

    But as I continued reading, I came to realise that this thread might not be about guns. The pictures are there to hide the fact, but this is all about masturbation. Hangtime was the first to alert me to this when he said
    Quote
    and man, that .45 feels as good as my dick in my hand.
    So is a .45 a strap on rubber job? As for masturbation technique, Hangtime also said this:
    Quote
    If yah need to pull it and squeeze
    Once I’d read that, I knew I was definitely on to something! Men with small noodlees tend to have large hands, and vice versa. I have very small hands, but for men with large hands, some sort of adaptor may be necessary – I began to think we were talking about one of those silicon sleeve jobs when I read
    Quote
    grips with rubber wrap arounds as I have fairly large hands.
    A second reference to a silicon vag was made thus –
    Quote
    comfort with the weapon is more important
    I thought that would be obvious. Someone began talking about naughty pictures. I take it that a “20mm cannon” was a euphemism for a noodle –
    Quote
    should I be concerned about pictures that show a 20mm cannon in a childs bedroom?
    Indeed, I would share that concern, but only 20mm?

    Finally, there could be no doubt that this thread is about masturbation.

    Keep in mind that Animal has extremely weak wrists
    LOL Animal! I wouldn't worry about your wrists. After what it’s done to your eyesight, maybe you should have second thoughts about getting a gun! I wouldn't trust you with a starting pistol. Take up knitting instead!
    Quote
    oh.. and for real stopping power
    Ah yes, I see I’m not the only middle aged old fart in here, and that other people have difficulty with premature ejaculation. Some “delay spray” ought to deal with that...

    See you at the con, guys – but only if you’re nice. :D

    Given this reply ^ and the recent Bowling thread, I'm guessing Beet1e must be bored.

    Please do not feed the troll.
    If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

    Beetle is being his normal self. Which is fine.

    Yes Beetle my gun is my extension of my noodle. I rather like it..its short. stubbyand thick plus it packs one hell of a punch.

    :)
    Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

    ROFL!!! I 'm good at baiting. Indeed, I'm a master at it! ;)  But I never started an entire thread about master baiting. I just let everyone else do that - LOL :) Just in case those bad guys visit me, I'll be sure to lock the door tonight.

    Batdog! That's nice. Of course you know that European males have the complete thing - I guess that would equate to a silencer! America deems it to be unnecessary and it is removed at birth.
