Jennifer, prior to computers some folks sat around the wood stove and cleaned and oiled their house gujn. a term from days gone by , however a hose gun could be a single shot rifle or something more along your line of thinking as a shot gun or" scatter gun". I've suggested to police cars that have responded here in days gone by that even though I do not wear a pair of six guns it is my right , according to Charleston Heston to protect my Home. the next question , regarding the semi auto would be when asked why do you want an auto or semi auto weapon. well I'd say that as a blind handyman my first shot fired might not hit the target so if one had, yes even a shotgun then it is a better bet that someone or something will fall. Not that I am feeling brutal or acting out of my cottin pickin mind, no not at all. I have even suggested that someone purchase and leave for me a well stocked Paint gun. so at least I could leave my mark. that idea came about one night when someone drove back and forth on this street on a warm summer night with a real bad exhaust pipe/ muffler. I had called our locall" Car 54" and they asked me to describe the car in question. so my response was" get me a gun . even a paint gun " then I could label that car/ truck. Ray's posting of knowledge on a revolver opened my thinking in different areas.. No, I'd rather not do any damage to my pool but If I always aimed above 52 inches . again I'd have to hit something. oops, well not to high because behind me is one of those cannister transformers on the power pole. I'd also like to own , for whatever purpose a Chipmonk" rifle". this single shot 22 rifle is very short and was originally designed to be used by trappers to kill off whatever might be caught in their t traps but not yet dead. Jennifer, I am not saying all folks, blind or not should have a house gun but someplaces it is a good idea. case in point. a friend of mine spent many nights on a back road in a real nice home and her hubby was an over the road trucker. she was , so I am told very accurate with a 22 semi auto rifle. shooting from the shoulder or hip. nobody would bother that house. since then she has got two fantastic geese whereas they make great " watchdogs".. As a blind handyperson, I would like to learn more about breaking a weapon down , cleaning and to reassemble same said.Lee
