theres an in depth discussion on what gun to get but does it really matter? if some nut comes into your house to kill you, any type of bullets you put into him are going to be a major hinderence
dude, i'm telling you... either a desert eagle .50, a .45, a .44 magnum, or like someone mentioned earlier, a .357. though if you're a poor fucking shot, you probably don't want to go with a revolver. and all this talk of 500+ dollars for a handgun... well yes, there are plenty that fall into that price range, but just the same, as mentioned before, you can find them cheaper at gun shows. as a matter of fact, i just recently visited a gunshow and purchased another handgun to add to my collection. i spent a total of $160 USD for a .40 semi auto pistol, and 70 rounds (50 target shots, 20 hydra shoks). bought the gun BRAND NEW and it hasn't given me a single problem so far. i'm confident that it would fulfill my needs for laying a mother fucker flat on his back. i sleep with a pistol religiously. but i live in the ghetto, so it's nothing unusual. :D
and dude i'm telling you, like a few other members, you don't need no desert eagle.... that's like bringing out a flame thrower for a cock roach...Quote:

long story short, that's serious overkill, and way more expensive then someone needs to get into (if not the gun it's self then the damn ammo) for defense... that gun is an offensive weapon, and there's no way around that...
you also have to take into consideration he very may well have neighbors closer then a half mile, and sheetrock is not gonna stop that massive fucking bullet...
i don't agree with H4H tho (for once) a 9MM will suffice, and do so just fine... think you can put 3+ bullets in him? out of a standard 15 capacity magazine?
I love that third video.Quote:

The law is BS...get a restraining order but realize that it is only a piece of paper and will provide you with the same amount of protection as one.
Large dogs are a good idea but they are living, breathing, feeling animals. Are they willing to take on an animal that may be pretty strong and not good with small pets or children? How about the vet bills? do they have a good fenced yard? etc etc. A dog isn't "an answer" ...it is a big commitment.
a good alarm system as also a good idea.
Get in good with the neighbors and have them watch for you as well. Use all eyes you can get.
Good luck and frankly I don't think you are being paranoid here....you are being realisitic.
I went through a period of a couple months where I had a knife under my bed, Blast Knuckles hidden in my desk, and some emergency PCP laced pot packed in a 1 hitter bat (They were some big guys that were after me).
I prefer the stun gun as the people who were after me wouldn't of killed me, but damn close. They were a little mad that I transported something for a rival and wanted me beaten senseless, and they are known to use only fists. I wanted a stun gun but couldn't get one, so I got the Blast Knuckles as they feel very solid in your hands, act as brass knuckes, and pack a bit of a punch. Air Tasers are the way to go if you are looking for a way to take someone down but not kill them or possibly shoot up your house with little holes and blood.
Gun: I highly recommend you buy a Glock if you are going to purchase a self-defense gun. They can be dropped from out of this atmosphere, go through all the different levels, hit the ground and still be fired*. They are extremely durable and can take a beating and still work great. The Glock 22 is a great gun that has a nice balance of stopping power and control. The gun can be fired relatively fast compared to a .357 which is slower than a Pentium 2 processor. In situations where you are going to be very scared, you are probably going to miss the first shot, that is where the .40 caliber comes into handy. The recoil is not alot so you can basically point and shoot off a few rounds accurately. Another great thing about Glocks is their high capacity magazines, 15 shots. You can hit a running target with 15 shots, just get some practice at a range and take a class if you want.
* Statement has not been tested by anyone, probably a complete lie.
I am glad to say I never had to use my Blast Knuckles on anyone, or had to use the emergency superman PCP as a last resort.
ps. 3rd video: That guy probably has shot 500+ rounds out of that thing and anticipates the recoil. 500+ shots would take many days out at the range because after shooting 3 rounds from a DE, I thought my wrist was broken (Just one hell of a kick).
Yeah,,,hell of a shot...Quote:
