Doesn't take much to expose their violent tempers does it? .
Sooo, you deliver firearms to your "homies" that are banned in their respective state? Fantastic, you're a real asset to law abiding gun owners. What you're doing is a called a straw purchase and it's a big time felony. Your "homies" are also felons for having possession of illegal, unregistered firearms.
Criminal scumbag hood rats like you contribute to the gun violence in America, Thank you for being a true asset. .
Who said firearms. I said I bought some butterfly knives for a bunch of buddies as Christmas gifts. I'm a good friend, and I make good money, but i'm not giving guns to multiple friends as xmas gifts. Obviously reading isn't your strong suit. Low literacy rates tend to be common amongst racist bigots.
p.s. It's too late now to take back now, it's already out there, but if you are married I am sorry for the things I said as it relates to your wife.

Glock 9mm...the all around choice for home protection, accurate, efficient, lightweight...does the job
above 9mm, you're losing accuracy, regardless of range
I used to work with a couple guys that have a lot of gun experience. When I asked them for recommendations they all said the same thing.......it's feel. Get what feels good & has a good track record. One guy (ex-mil) said the Glocks are fine units, but that everyone he knows that used to have one has moved on from them.........not to bigger cal but to a different make of gun.......couldn't say why. I'm still a relative newbie to this. I've only shot about 6-8 times in the last couple years. My main goal is to become familiar & comfortable with handling a firearm, & have the necessary means to protect myself. I don't see this turning into a hobby (of course I never thought that about golf 25 years ago either). Simpler is going to be better for me at this point.

I keep it in the night stand, point and shoot, doesn't get much easier. I also keep a pump action .12 gauge with 00 buck in it close by - pistol grip with an 18" barrel - another small effective simple weapon good for indoor use. I (legally) carry a .380 everyday, which isn't much but will do the job. I have other guns too, but no need to talk about them here. My home security system of choice is a pair of American Blue Pitbulls. They respond much quicker and more effectively than the police or ADT.
MUGG - cleaning your guns or a gun outside is a good idea to let them know your armed, but be careful not to brandish your weapon as it could lead to more trouble than you want. Also, don't let anyone see too much as you might become a burglary target if they know you have a lot of guns. My advice is to move out to the country - away from the problem. You can't fix the problem, you can't kill the problem, you can't scare it away - let's face it - they won, we lost. Just move far away where the buses don't run. GL with whatever you chose

Taurus Judge .410, also shoots a .45
Some crazy .410 rounds available for it too.

Crazy_Train brings up a good point. I once thought about putting in the whole NRA yard sign or something to let people know what time it is but then I thought, "Sh!t, that'll just make people want to break in when i'm not here. My house is pretty secure. My guns, exceot those I keep at the ready, are pretty secure. Still, I don't want to invite burglary attempts.

Stu & MUGG - A home security sign, even if you don't have a home alarm system, is a huge deterrent to a burglar. Same as a "beware of dog" sign. Also a big deterrent even if you don't have a dog. If you have home security concerns I would recommend hanging both signs as well as installing motion sensor lighting around the areas you are concerned with. You could go as far as putting boards with nails sticking up on the ground under all your windows, but now were getting a little extreme - depends on the neighborhood and the individual situation I guess. If you have to lock your valuable guns up, you must be concerned with break ins.
Think about it, what target would a burglar look for - an easy one, not one with dogs and alarms and lights. Those are just the basics to me. FYI - I'm not a burglar, I'm just using common sense and a little of what I learned in a security class I took in college. I have a worthless CJ degree, that's why I run a warehouse now.

I have a home security system. And cameras I can access via the internet. And my house is in the country so there's not crazy bit of crime but coming from where I come from, i'm distrustful.

Good points. Advertising that you have a slew of weapons stored inside your home might not be the smartest idea. My neighborhood is "middle" middle class, & hasn't had any real issues with crime or tagging incidents. But things are changing. Criminals are becoming more brazen......they'll break in whether they believe you're home or not....... & I don't want to be one of the victims that wish he would've been prepared AFTER an incident. I've installed security lights........the signs would be a nice touch. I'm not planning on moving. You can't run & hide. I'm not consumed by paranoia........just want to be prepared.

stu - I'm like you - I trust no one and I live in the country where there is supposed to be hardly any crime. The only worries we have out there is a random kid looking for something to steal and sell if he's on meth or heroin or something. I would hate to kill a kid on drugs just for being a dumb kid. That said - less than 2 miles from my house, 2 kids - early 20s - broke into a home and held a 60 something yr old lady against her will for awhile a couple years ago - I would have liked to shoot them. Also, some crazy MFer with an AR was shooting at cops when they responded to a domestic call a few miles away from the house too. He gave up eventually, come to find out I was at a little loop football benefit and met the guy according to my cousin before it all happened. He was just a regular guy at that time, father of a little loop football player, went to work, paid his bills. Now he's a felon. Lesson learned - don't shoot at cops, you'll almost always lose.
MUGG - don't move if that's your neighborhood and you want to stay there, protect it and your family - I understand being prepared. I have over 500 gallons of water stored in my basement for who knows what. I'm not a doomsday prepper, I just have a lot of water, fuel and ammo at the ready. In some neighborhoods you just can't win, that's just the way it is and is getting worse in some areas. That's why I suggested moving far away from the general population. You know how it goes when there are a lot of people in one area, they get on peoples nerves for what ever reasons. I just really don't like dumb people, A holes and neighbors who make noise, which is nearly every one on Earth - either dumb, noisy or an A hole, sometimes all 3. It's best for society and myself that I remove myself from the everyday BS. I read a little of GGs thread, I would end up in the pokie like him if I were to "make friends" as my wife calls it. I actually look a lot like him but about 20 yrs younger, although I still have the grey beard, bandanna and bad attitude like he does - it's tough to control at times, so I just stay away from people.
I feel like going and shooting something now

I honestly hope that I never have to point a weapon at another human being & pull the trigger.........but I also don't want to be standing at gun point with no options.

I've stood at gun point to the head.. even if you have a gun, you have zero options other than to cooperate and hope he doesn't blow you away. It's a feeling I hope none of you guys ever experience.
Yes, you go into shock as well.

I've had a gun to the head twice, search, but the worse of the two was when I got of work late, had been working long hours, pulled over to take my boots off and put on my driving shoes and just conked out. Woke up to a kid bashing in the driver's side window with the gun. They weren't killers because if they were i'd be dead. I kept pushing the gun out of my face. I just kept saying, "Whateva, dude. Just don't shoot me and I won't even call the police. You win." Then the one with the gun has me lay on the ground. I hear his buddy say something to him and in my peripheral I see him look back towards the car and I just got up and ran. I was funning like sh!t too because I had untied my boots but hadn't taken them off. So i'm running in untied work boots. They never fired a shot. Didn't get the car. Didn't get too much of anything of value. Basic model digital camera and a bag with some clothes. There was a gun on the side of my seat. If I would've tried to reach for it I would be dead.

That's brutal. I'm sure you've grown eyes in the back and sides of your head like I have as a result. It's a sense we have now after being held up. The new added sense of being able to spot anybody that might be carrying.or looks like they're about to draw.
There's definitely something to be said about carrying a 1911 or similar smoke wagon because if we decide to counter then that one shot is powerful enough to spin 'em around.

stick to CFB assassin - no disrespect - I have checked your CFB threads for years, your a good CFB capper
The thread is about being prepared. The criminal is usually armed, your at a disadvantage if you are not.
In TX or anywhere else, if the "bad guys" know they have nothing to fear, then what is stopping them? Their guilty conscience? The police? I know a gun will deter people from doing stupid things, especially if you fire a round or 2 at them.

I've always eyes in the back of my head so that didn't change. What it did do is for a while I couldn't doze off in my car. I'd wake up startled, heart pumping. Silver lining. At the time the lady and I were on the outs. After that happened, we started working on it. And it didn't solve all of our issues but it forced us to confront them and work through them. It may of saved our relationship. I hax prior to that, in my teens and early twenties, had a gun in my face before. I'd been shot at, been in in a gun fight, and I wasn't even a bad kid by my neighborhood's standard. Never thought much of it. Never fazed me. That morning when I saw her face, I broke down. We both did. It was the firsf time I felt truly like a man in the sense that I felt like I had something to lose. I lived a fast life as a youth and really didn't care what happened to me but I realized how much I had matured because I didn't want to die in the street. And I realized I was blessed because a lot of kids out there would've shot me in the head the first time I pushed the gun away. I can't even imagine. Parents in another state. Getting a call. Your youngest son is dead in the street. Middle of the night. Wasn't even involved in anything illegal. Had just started a good job. Was he really legit? I know be did some things in the past but I don't know to what extent. It would've left too many questions.

I didn't bother to read the third one about the hooker - rules don't apply to people involved in criminal activity - ex of the "bad guys".
First one, no need to shoot. Second one, no NEED to shoot, but again to my point of if "bad guys" aren't scared of a deterrent other than the BS system we have, like a gun or a dog, then citizens need to be able to protect themselves and their property. If some one were breaking into my detached garage, I wouldn't shoot directly at them, maybe a warning shot and take it from there. If it were my house, I guarantee I'll kill them as soon as I see them breaking in and clean up the mess later - I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT!
Am I redneck or racist? - good question - I believe I am aware of what I see around me and am a good judge of character. Skin color doesn't matter. I know many more POS whites than any other color, but that's because I'm a white biker who doesn't engage with society regularly for obvious reasons - most people are fkn dumb. Redneck - ? I guess the shoe fits, but I'm not a racist. My mother through adoption, grandmother and aunt lived in their barn while Nazis occupied their house for 3 years in Poland 1940s. They were slaves for them, so I'm no Nazi, I guarantee that. I am proud of who I am, I know that too.

What got me to this point is one night a few years ago I was watching the news & saw the story of a couple that were robbed & killed in their home. Two thugs broke into their home at night while they were sleeping. They awoke, but the perps soon had them at gun point. She was 6 months pregnant........they raped her in front of her husband & then shot them both. Just disgusting. It occurred to me that if the same thing happened to me, all I had to defend us, or ward off intruders with, was a baseball bat.........hardly an effective tool for self defense vs any firearm. Now if some of you are OK with the thought of someone breaking into your home & killing you & your family, then fine. More power to ya. Some of us aren't. The world is not getting kinder & gentler.........quite the opposite.

Horrible story, makes me sick.
Couldn't agree with you more Mugg, Those that think they are immune to that kind of violence are just in complete denial. Doesn't matter what how nice of an area you live in, it can happen anytime to anybody..and the police will not be able to help in time.
By the way, you guys up in Seattle are in paradise. I cannot believe that I didn't know you had all the AR's ,suppressors and whatever capacity magazines. I see a move back home in my future. F California.

From the people I have heard speak who know about this stuff, the best advice I ever heard was to have something that you have the best chance to handle SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY while under extreme stress, regardless of size.
If you lose your mind and can't handle or fire a weapon safely or effectively, it's of zero use no matter how powerful it is. I'd rather take my chance with a .380 that I feel one with than a .40 or something that I don't feel good about even after extensive practice.
I know I've read more stories about a person who didn't properly handle their weapon and TH:AT is what got them in trouble than the person who lost their life because they didn't have a big enough weapon. I think we would all do better spending more time at the range and training than worrying about buying a bigger piece.
That's just me.
