^^^
curious why your home piece would be a revolver when you can get a 9mm with 15 rounds or more
maybe you shoot exceptionally well

^^^ True dat! It's so much more satisfying to lie there waiting for Jerry Brown and Nancy Pelosi to come to yer rescue!
Big article in the LA Times today about all the first-time gun buyers, a high percentage of which are women and gays, who buy their first gun after big mass shootings. Vulnerable people just don't have faith in the gubmint to protect them.

They're more likely to shoot themselves or their ex-girlfriend with the stupid things.

Concealing and weight is an issue, but a sawed off shotgun doesn't require a spot on aim. Plus the sound of the pump action being engaged is universal in sending fear through any would be perp. Sounds like your gonna have some adventure & fun regardless though. Have a blast no pun intended!

don't live in the ghetto.
Around here home invasions don't occur in the ghetto - they follow John Dillinger's maxim
of going where the money is.

Ms55401....Minnestoa, pretty much over it. My first wife was from Wayzata. I froze my ass off working on the construction of the IDS Tower during the winter in the late 60's, was eaten alive by mosquitos in Crane Lake and consumed far too much alcohol in the Seven Corners.
Minnesota may be frigid in the winter and hot and buggy in the summer but at least it's flat.

With which hand and can I open my eyes?
More to the point, who here can hit a 50 gal oil drum at a half a mile from
a rolling deck with a twin 3"-50?

We did a 7 1/2 week 10k + mile road trip last summer with Isa. My redneck family asked what gun did you bring with you. Answer = none. Felt completly comfortable the whole time with two exceptions. Once gassing up in green river Wyoming some cammoed up survivalist/ trumper looking guy was eyeballing us at a gas station. The road out of there was straight and lonely... I caught a weird vibe from him. It carried on my mind that maybe he took a hankering to Isa. Decided not to sleep in the desolate rest area in the middle of no where. None of the side roads looked inviteing. too flat and easy to see us from the main road. kept going untill really late and tired and found a real campground.. managed to roll in and out in the morning without haveing to talk to the ranger;) That one night I would have been ok with 12ga pump in the van. One other night @ wall mart in Saskatchewan it was pretty noisy / urban and a local had warned us that there was tension and some violence between first nation people and whites. that was a little uneasy but not too bad. Its all in useing your head to try and control circumstances....

Depending on the pistol, I might be your huckleberry...
Last summer in a competition I shot a 97 at 25 yards (same B-16 target as the above). Took home the gold (yay!).
I'd think I'd have a fair chance at 20m on a wine bottle sized target but it would depend on the pistol. My comp gun is a .22 Walther GSP. But, I have a couple of .45's, .357's, 44's and a single shot or two that might do the trick. And a few that I'd be less than confident in.
