Do you own guns? How many? What types? How long have you been a gun owner?
Merely my curiosity. Thanks.

Next gun on my got to have list, SW Model 500 (neighborhood protection).
No, but with the Model 500 I can probably get the guy breaking in two or three houses away (neighborhood protection was a just a little levity).Originally posted by Bertha Venation

Maybe if you saw a 500 the humor would be there. http://www.smith-wesson.com/admin/templates/large.cfm?stdImage=170231.jpg&model=500Originally posted by Bertha Venation

Tough question, depends on what you think you might run into. The type of weapon that you are comfortable with. The intended area you plan on using the weapon. Swinging a shotgun in a house is pretty tough at times, but they have their advantages. I like revolvers, others like automatics, it's in what you like and are "one with".Originally posted by Bertha Venation
Thank you, Ken.
What would you recommend to someone who's thinking about family/home protection?
I asked for myself, and, well, it's hard to say. Since I've never held a gun before, never seen one except at K-Mart or in a police officer's belt, and have had an aversion to them ever since the psychotic ex held a tiny, tiny silver revolver to my temple, I really don't know what I might be comfortable with or "one" with.Originally posted by Ken King

My suggestion to ANY female who is not familiar or comfortable with a gun is to get a twelve gauge shotgun. The sound of a female voice saying "who's there?" followed by the sound of the pump action is enough to send anybody running. Also with a shot gun - you do not have to be a good/accurate shot and do not have to wait until someone is close to you (which means they could possibly wrestle it away - women are not known for upper body strength) before firing.Originally posted by Bertha Venation

a-HA! The truth comes out! You admit that it would give you some pleasure to inflict the death penalty on someone who tried to victimize you! ^5 I'm with ya!Originally posted by Bertha Venation
