    Don't really need one here but these are hanging out around here (or will be shortly):

    Browning 9mm High power (AKA: king of nines)
    Winchester 30/30 lever action
    12 Ga semi auto (from a former sheriff)
    16 Ga of somewhat unknown origins
    .357 Magnum Revolver
    .22LR rimfire for soda cans
    22-250 Varmit rifle

    For home defense, king of nines until the .00 buck is loaded into the 12 Ga then it's hole punching time.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Hey Ron-p. Are those safety slugs pretty good. I heard that they cut down on accidental death because they shatter on impact.

    I live in a nice area also, but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

    I bought one of these a while back, and have luckily never had to use it. I did have a friend use it on me once so I'd know what I was dealing with. He just barely tapped me for a second and it was hell!!!

    I don't really do guns, not on principle or anything, just don't have any...

    The best thing to say about defense is nothing.

    That said, I rolled a 150 lb buck from standing postion at 90 yards with my Ruger Security Six .357 mag.

    Yep, I don't have too worry about killing several neighbors if I shoot someone in my house. I fired off a few in the desert and they pretty much shatter into nothing upon impact.

    It is that exact same pistol.

    Steve. How do you like the G17? Some feel that a 9mm doesn't have good enough stoppping power. I beg to differ. That may be my next gun. Hell, with 17 rounds that will be plenty of stopping power. I love my G23. It is a very reliable and accurate pistol. I will most likely stick with the Glock family on my next few purchases.( 9mm, .45ACP, and .45GAP)
