I like the way the thread has curves in it ....
I'm learning a lot and this still relates to the topic, loosely.

It's too bad the proposed bill on cars and hotel rooms got nuked. It would have been much clearer.


Most of us can rack a slide on a SG fairly quietly, so if I really want to shoot someone that doesn't know I'm there, I can. I keep my carry arm (XD-40) on the nightstand and my SG not much further away (pipe empty). My XD is always loaded, so they won't hear it either.....
One problem nobody has covered is eye sight at night. My eyes dry out at night (I sleep w/ my eyes open), so I might not be able to focus well enough to shoot the pistol accurately. I need the extra advantage the SG offers. Five "00" bucks and one slug have a better chance of hitting than the 22 golden sabres. Maybe the addrenaline rush will over come they dryness, I can't say.

As for the laws.
I would much rather explain to the investegating LEO why the guy is dead in my living room INSTEAD of bing the one in the bag. On the other hand;
I don't see a need to shoot someone on my property, unless they are waiving a gun around. My dad and I could have done that many times in the house/ranch we had years back.
My truck isn't worth me sitting in the can while my kids grow up. Posessions can be replaced. It sucks to think about, but that's just the way it needs to be. Relying on a jury to decide if I was the agressor isn't fun to think about.

One parting thought and thanks.
I like the way everyone can discuss views and not get crappy with each other. Good job people!!!!!!
