Gnome: . . . the odds that if you don't have a gun, you are less likely to get shot. . . . .

Give some thought of changing your activities.
Look after your karma.

I'm thinking about a gun to take with me to a remote mountain cabin where I will be staying several months alone. I'm not a gun nut but have been around them all my life (my family had loaded guns in the car and the closet, lots of deer and elk meat). I was thinking shotgun as I don't want to spend a lot of time practicing and then recently cousins told me about a pistol that shoots shotgun shells called The Judge. Anybody here have experience with that one?

The sig P226 is great, but it's bulky and meant for a holster. Try the Sig P229 (smaller) or like ELM! Said, the better choice is a shield 9mm by S&W. The shield is fun to shoot, and can be easily carried ccw. Forget about Ruger and revolvers.

It's the Fourth....it's the patriotic thing to do! If you're not packing you're nothing better than a Euro wimp. Interesting info. on pistol accuarcy.....pistol may be but very few people can hit the broad side of a barn with one.
I wonder how accurate members of the ST militia are with a pistol.....not very, I'd wager.

I bet 'J Rigs' got a rack with the double barrel but what's clipped under the seat cover ???
There are every now and then's that .that never have to happen again if you carry.
There are also never agains that would have been just one more thing
instead of the Last thing because of a gun.
Ho, Please, .. .. .. Tell that to the wind as you lie dying . . .
Know when you need to & be carrying
THEN.....
The crutch becomes the extra limb
Creeps 'n ghouls rule the road
Is it scarier out there wit or without?
The paradox of carrying,
Having a "Bun in the oven"
1 chambered, ready to go,
. .draws heat
keep your 'bun' stowed
until you are forced To
By need hope ya know

See what happens when we all start playin' nice with fire arms, some one takes a shot

You could probably just point this mthrfckr at someone and they'd be scared off. Saves on the price of bullets, which Chris Rock says are going up to $5000/each. (No more innocent bystanders).
This next one with handy adapter is nice,
but hard t find since I think only two were made. .. .. ..

Americans need an intelligent American pistol, and definitely not a stupid pussy pistol.
A pistol that according to time and circumstance goes into service intelligently.
Americans should be intelligent and DO intelligently.
Not like stupid politards ........

Hey Dingus-
Sig 226 is a fine firearm no doubt. Check on the CZ 75- I actually had this with me last weekend with the crew. I can bring both the CZ and Sig for the next outing. You can try both, under adult supervision of course....

So, DMT, I know you're tolling but I grew up in Idaho and have been around guns my whole life. A gun is just a tool so ignore all the gun nuts. Get a simple, proven, inexpensive tool. The Russians took the German Walther PP design and came up with the Makarov. Go to a gun dealer and have him find you a good one. East German and Russian versions have good reputations. They generally come with holster and spare magazine. $250 to $500.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarov_pistol
500 rounds of ammo for $150.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Sig SP 2022, it's the 'bargain' model of the 226 in that it
has a plastic body. Of course, everything that matters is metal and it is a Sig so you know it
will always work, and well.
Jan, The Judge might not be a good choice for a n00b. A good simple revolver or a shotgun
would probably be better. I say a revolver because they are more intuitive and simpler
mechanically. I think the revolver would be better for a woman, too, because it is easier and
quicker to have at the ready in a bedroom should a break-in occur.

J Rig,
My compliments on the New Partners write up
I'll figure out what to say over there.
I also got given a rare day with the troops though.
Here is a nod to trying to keep gun schist light till Fritz shows.

Short Jokes ? I need some ?
DMT If yer troubles be then go climb High E,
Then drop a rope over the top of the Direct Finish of Modern Times.
You will again be a hero of appropriate size.

Also, once you have the gun, you should read this. Killing people isn't like the movies.
I'm sure getting raped, beaten, and killed in real-life is a little different than the movies too.
Probably a bit more traumatic and deadly in real-life...
More gun-pr0n;
My choice. Made in New York (for now).

Reilly, thanks.
The Judge looks kind of big and heavy. I like the look of the smaller revolvers. I was also impressed with happiegirl's story of having a shotgun pointed at the front door when a drunken neighbor broke it down and took one look and ran off. I was asked to join Univ. of Colorado's riflery team years ago so I am familiar with recoil and not a complete noob.. I passed up the team though to go rock climbing instead.
