Slavetrainer2007 -> RE: Weaponry, protecting what's yours (5/3/2007 7:38:31 PM)

I use a flak 88mm,.50 cal gatling gun, 20 mm cannon, gernade launcher and mine field to protect whats mine. I also got a sherman tank( fully operational with ammo) parked in the garage for those really tough opponents.
Ok maybe not. Realistically i was born and raised in the country, guns nor people waving them all about bother me. People waving knives or sword i would more than likely laugh at.
Though most people where i live dont lock their doors or even take the keys out of their car my perferred weapon is anything not nailed down. someone with a knife or sword would have to completely catch me buy surprise which is unlikely since i have a good guard dog that warns me if anyone even gets within 10 feet of my house. In self defense everything is a weapon. if you can pick it up you should be throwing it.
Gun wise, gun of choice 12 ga pump with a mod or open choke. i like bird loads they tend to hold pattern better. rock salt loaded in shells is a great alternative if your worried about killing someone. i pelt you at 10 yds with rock salt and it has about the same affect as a taser and you dont have to be near as accurate. Which is another thing i like about a shotgun. i dont have to be accurate good for use in the dark unless you can see in the dark. I rather have lights out and wait for a muzzle flash and then shoot. while rifles and pistols will shot through walls. shotguns at close range will blow sections of walls away again you dont have to accurate. The pump itself is scary to most people. you here the cha ching of a pump and yuour more likly to go running than try to shoot me. Also shotguns can be used to fire single bullets( slugs) a 12 gauge slug at 40 yds will put a hole all the way through a washer big enought to stick your thumb in. Over all for protection the shotgun is the best weapon of choice imo. The range and size of bullets also means its alot less likely your going to kill someone you dont want too. its a short range gun and while it will blow through interior walls at close range it wont travel much further than the other side of the room. a high cal pistol or rifle i can shoot clean through a house with.
a friend of mine as a nice little toy that shoots about a .177 cal bullet. from the size of the bullet and the size of the gun you would laugh. it looks like pellet gun. but it shoots a ballistic tip bullet that will drop a deer dead in his tracks at 100 yds. the entrance wound is the size of a pen and the exit wound the size of a coke can. its more quiet than a .22 and does as much damage as a 30/06 or 30/30.
while im a pretty good shot( use to do alot of clay bird shooting and live bird shooting) my weapon of choice is anything in reach. i dont need a gun or martial arts to feel i can defend me and mine.. all i need is a kitchen chair, a glass, ashtray , hell a candle, even a full bottle of water ,spoons, fork knives ,coffee ,my dogs chew bone, pillow, ottoman , microwave if i feel froggy, left overs out of the fridge, bottle of tide, telephone... bottle of clorox( take the cap off for a dirty bomb:P), soup cans. trash can... the list goes on and on and on. As long as i can keep them on the defensive even if its throwing a pillow to keep them distracted until i can pick up something else.. they cant get on the offensive. fortunately i have a pretty accurarate and stong arm.
the best weapon is to have the mentality everything can be used as a weapon. i could even kill someone with a plastic straw[:D]( no joke) They say a man defending his home is worth 10 men trying to take it.
But i really dont have to worry about any of that. we havent had a murder or armed robbery in my county in probably over 10 years. its more likely a farmer will die because he got caught in farm machinery here than it is for someone to get murdered or robbed.
