This lives right over my bed. 7 rounds of 12 gauge 00 buck just for uninvited guests such as yourself. Hopefully the dog slows you down enough for me to reach the shotty. If you're still going after that, I'll have time to reach my purse which has my Glock 19 and 45 Winchester Ranger +P+ 9mm hollowpoints. If you're still going after that, you are just more of a badass than me and you were fated to live while I die.

Well, there is me, no slouch when it comes to defending myself unarmed, though I make no claim as to being some kind of 'superman'. There is the norse style saex knife I keep within reach from bed. There is my fox hound, that sleeps 3 feet away, and finally there is my Winchester Ranger 12G shotgun that resides about 12 feet away.

Am I a 'keyboard toughie'? Perhaps, but that doesn't mean if someone broke into my house and was trying to do damage, that they wouldn't get my best effort to stop them cold. It is a survival instinct after all. I have a couple of years of martial arts training in krav maga, kickboxing, and various ground fighting and submission techniques.
I was in not one, but two branches of the U.S. military (Army and Navy). I will now highlight what could be considered a level of 'dorkdom'. Here is a picture of me, showing one of the things I like to do with some spare time. Get in armor and get medieval on people.

Funny how those who live in a Right to Protect state indicate they are prepared today and those that don’t pretend this might only happen when TS hits; tisk,tisk. As for me I have few outside defenses aside from my and my neighbors dogs.

Well that and some few miles from someone silly enough to come wondering into a strangers house. That said; I do have a few things at hand depending on where I happen to pass out and whether you are a bird or a buck.

Oh, as to my first point, I now live in a state that says I have a right to use force; better check where you live before you get too tough or the morning after could be a bitch… Google Castle Doctrine.

Jesus, is everyone on here a gun nut? I refuse to get into that because I would either off myself or a friend while drunk or something if I had one around. If my Easton softball bat can't ward off an intruder, I lose, I guess. Olaf, are you admitting you're a LARP dork?

On a serious note, to those that say they can respond to a situation with a gun almost instantly do they have children living with them? Do they ever have visiters staying with children? If their gun is quickly retrievable (as in not in a gun safe) and doesn't have a trigger lock on it they could end up with a dead kid. Kids can be tricky, sneaky little beggars and could end up playing with that gun. Kids also do dumb things. That equation could easily equal a dead kid.

I would tie to down and force you to listen to my French Reggae collection. You would bite off your own tung before sunrise.

Yup Turtle, Also you can keep the magazine out of the handgun for added safety. It only takes a second to load a handgun when it is stored that way. A child under 14 would have a very hard time loading a handgun, pulling the slide on mine is pretty stout.

Also to all those with children who are nervous don't forget it isn't just handguns in your own house you have to worry about. When the time is right all kids should learn how dangerous handguns are. What happens when they go over to a friends house? They have seen thousands of handguns on TV by that time and will be naturally very curious if they run into one.

and Zardoz said we were all a bunch of keyboard toughies, just for that I am going to type something really nasty about him.

Olaf that is a wicked looking helmet , is it yours or does your group share a common collection? did you have it made to your design?How much would something like that cost ?Is one of the women fighting in a subsequent photo wearing a wedding dress?Sorry if this post seems like work but you've piqued my curiosity .

Shannymara if you broke into my house in the middle of the night I would give you my valuables , pour you a warm glass of milk with honey and then make you waffles with REAL maple syrup .
