GUN safety training course

So... uh... We can visit....?

Probably shouldn't. You'd keep me up late drinking.

shotgun for home protection. Perps know the sound of a pump action and know that accuracy is not an issue. Handguns are not accurate at anything other than close range. I keep a model 11 auto under my bed, ammo in the closet 4 steps away. Perps can still hear the unmistakable sound of the action when I chamber a round.

But most important --- Think of the great conversions you could have at your tea parties.

"Hey, did you see those new Gucci handbags that just came out?".

"No, but check out this Glock. I could cap you Mo Fos right now........"

LMAO! I think I just woke the whole family.

An old retired deputy told me once, "it doesn't matter what nationality or color they are, everybody speaks shotgun".

A shotgun does not make a very good carry weapon, a pistol does. You can have a pistol nearby 24/7.

As to the accuracy of a handgun, you can engage targets out to 25 yds while moving with a good degree of accuracy, although in 99% of self defense scenarios there is rarely a need to use deadly force against someone 25 yds away. If you do need to engage at those kind of distances, use the handgun to get you to a rifle.

The beretta does not make alot of noise when you chamber a round. Its more of a suprise weapon than a deterent. I have the same weapon same setup at home shells are stagger loaded first shot 00 buck, second shot Hydro Shok Sabot slug and so on. If you don't hit him with the spread pattern first shot The second shot you will have an accurate shot for aleast 30 yards when the would be jacker is attempting to flee.

Is that how the English say "kill them"?

Just have to remember what is in there, don't want to shoot a slug through a wall and possibly in to whoever may be behind the wall., Also a slug can and will bounce back at you if it hits something solid enough. Slugs reuire you to aim, shot doesn't. Nothing wrong with slugs, but 00 is plenty effective in a shotgun for defensive duty.

Some people like to mix rounds up, I personally don't. Much easier to use all the same ammo and you'll get much more consistant results.

Hydro Shok Sabot bounce?? . Lead Mushrooms with steel posts in the middle tend not to bounce back at you or over penetrate too much. Remember its not a deer slug its a people slug

I figure if by chance of a divine intervention the 00 does not stop the Fvcker he is gonna be beating feet out of there thats where the range of the slug comes in handy .

Funny thing about Colorado - You are only "allowed" to shoot a BG if he's "demonstrating intent" to harm you while inside of your house! What a load of crap. If I wake up in the middle of the night and find some guy walking around in our house looking around - he's going down, and I'll question him later if he's still breathing.

The stupid law actually creates the incentive for a second shot. If he's still breathing, you know he'll end up suing you later as he tries to prove how he was "harmlessly" walking around in your house. So...........boom, boom. No witnesses. But you do need to carry plenty of ammo because if he's in your house with buddies, you'll pretty much need to make sure you get all of them.

Good point. I guess you have to take out his wallet, see where he lives, then drive there and take care of them too.

Keep a couple of rolls of this stuff handy for those wrapping projects, scout out a dumping site beforehand and bring an accelerant to destroy any physical evidence.
