Folks... The Wright to defend your home and family is not mitigated or diminished by any disability. If you have a preferred method of home defense, that you are comfortable with and you practice with regularly in a tactically specific environment then please implement that method of defense. I happen to be a firm believer in high pressure whipped cream at a designated range of no less than 7 Meters. Others of you might consider 12 Gage double0 buckshot. This is comparable to putting 9 rounds of 32-caliber slugs down-range at one time at a velocity of 450-ft per second. Alternatively depending on your individual situation and your tactically defendable environment. You might consider one of the semi-auto loaders with an extended capacity magazine. This information is all readily available on the web by typing in the appropriate search terms.

However, the bedroom occupied by my (extremely mechanically inclined!) daughter is exactly at the T where the two approach legs meet, were I defending in this manner. These are the factors that caused my disposal of a very nice collection of over 20 different pieces. 45/70, M1s, Krag rifle, Edistone rifle, *artillery Luger, 1917 revolver, 1911 auto, 30 carbine,, AR15, 03 Springfield, 1907 .45long, Walther PK, Desert Eagle in .50mag, P38, Radom pistol and Rifle and more, and so on and so on. What tickles me, there was a scene in the movie Scent of a woman, where a supposed Colonel, (or was it Major) went blind. He used to time himself to assembl his 1911 .45 Colt. Great, 45 seconds, or whatever it was. I had cleaned alot of pistols by then, and though I didn't like the manner of that pistol's breakdown compared to the Radom, P38, Sig's, High Power (also called p38) or any of the other and later Browning designs, I found I could both "break down" and "assemble" that pistol in *his same time. 27 seconds for the P38 Radom or Sig. Oh well. On Thu, 7 Jun 2007, Lenny McHugh wrote: > Well Dale had a very valid point. When I was a kid I had a small > collection of firearms and was fairly good with all of them.
