However, if your wife doesn't mind cleaning up the mess after you shoot an intruder's head clean off, it is quite effective for home defense. My conceal and carry permit is due to expire in 2008. Perhaps you, me, and James could take the class together. What fun that would be. Droll,

Well...'heaving around' maybe a more fitting way of putting it. “But would you really want to use one of those for carrying?”

High capacity is a good thing, Glock is a trusted name for guns, but I must admit, aesthetically speaking, Glocks are ugly. Functionality first, beauty second. And the bullets will hurt however ugly the gun is. You wouldn't have had another option from which to choose would you, James? The very idea of owning a handgun is really out of the question for me. I simply can't afford to purchase one of them. When I do get around to it though, I lean towards Ruger, S&W, or if I've got big cash flow the Desert Eagles (whatever their brand name is, I can't remember what it is off hand). The .41 or .44 would work well. Nice. 15 9mm rounds will give you plenty of bullets to make up for the lack of punch.

This is next on my list after taking the women's self-defense course. We have the right to bear arms. Good for you James! This is next on my list after taking the women’s self-defense course.

I've actually read it and the commentary on it by Sun Pin. Not to brag, of course. Ah yes, the Art of War. I’ve actually read it and the commentary on it by Sun Pin. Not to brag, of course.

Never the less, if you've not already done so, read the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

We should head out to the firing range some time. BTW, a society with a standard of concealing weapons means that criminals KNOW some people may be carrying, but they don't necessarily know which ones. This level of uncertainty and risk for the criminal helps to reduce crime. Criminals typically prefer to avoid difficult situations. That's why they're criminals instead of workers. Pretty!

But someone pointed out everyone would know you were armed and if they had a bigger gun, you might be the first to go. I guess the thinking would go that if you conceal carry, they won't pinpoint you as someone to take out first.
