They Picked The Wrong House

I carry a 23 with a barsto barrel when I get home. I also wear second chance body armor with a second trauma plate duct taped to the back just in case. But you really have to watch out for my wife. She walks around the house with a .300 win mag NEF rifle. Anything less will get you killed in the streets.

It's the new .380 vs. 9 vs. 40 vs. 45 debate.

I veritable orgy of calibers

I understand that a 22 will kill a man I killed two pigs with one a couple days ago. Shot in the head. But I was referring to life or death and there are some calibers that do kill better than others. There are situations where a bigger gun will come in hanndy, so i leave the house with that. I only responded to your post because you would challenge anyone with your g43 to try and stop you? I personally don't challenge anyone to a gun fight. Having a gun doesn't guarantee you will be the victor. Yes any gun is better than none. Who made any argument to the contrary? I think this is done. I carry a bigger gun because I can handle it better it preforms better. I'd carry a m1 if I could to match my 1911. The comment about watching to many movies is funny. I know I must have got all my gun knowledge from movies thats why a carry the blaster instead of a light saber. Carry what you want I'll do the same but I still think you were butt hurt and that's why you made the comment about the movies. I saved the best for last. I do walk around my house slung, then again I was born that way.

No, you responded because I contradicted your point of view and you felt the need to defend it. You inferred the case that a pocket gun isn't enough gun and it's lazy carry. I disagree. Given the choice, of course we'd all love to have an M-16 in hand when the need arises(or some relic you feel is commensurate). Life dictates otherwise. Pocket guns have their place, and the tech is good. I don't feel under-armed for a second with just a little ol' 43 on me. Of course I don't walk around South Chicago at 2am either. I also, didn't challenge anyone to a gunfight. You just missed another point. You speak as though a pocket gun is nothing, I'm just saying you wouldn't stand in my way if I had one... That's all there is to it.

Your skill set is not mine. Mine is not yours. Think what you want, do what you want. I really, honestly don't care. Post about it here though and you'll get my opinion on it whether you say it's done or not... Have a nice evening. Enjoy the thought that you've somehow had an impact on mine... Continue on if you feel you must have the last word... :)

LOL... Who's the butthurt one? Seems like it's strong with you. I'm going to move on because your grammar gives me a headache as much as your inability to grasp simple points... Best of luck to ya round here...

Hear, hear... It would appear some folks still think it's all about size... They must have confused their pistol with their "gun"... Points for those who get the reference...

The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war & you don't rise to the occasion, but sink to your level of training.

Above all else, violence of action, speed & surprise. Fight like yer life depends on it ('cos it does) & NEVER quit. 'N if it's yer turn, then go down swingin'.

I'd wager a significant part of that statistic can be attributed to the fact that many people only have guns in the home (and don't carry them).

That is definitely a possibility.
 
Oh sweet thighs of a prom queen, what a mess.

Ah tote me a 19 elebben cause I'm better with a big gun.
SMH

I know some of these guys. These guys know me.
I ain't challenging anyone to a gunfight. The first thing I always do when I buy a new pistol is suss it out. No I don't "break it in" I make dang sure I can be proficient with the hardware.

If Felipe says his G43 will ruin someone's day, I tend to believe him. Don't let appearances fool you either.

I DO carry around the house, and believe me, I don't live in a urban setting.
Sometimes I pocket carry, because it more readily suits the setting. I have the frame to successfully hide almost anything. I still on occasion pocket carry. One is better than none.

I have several friends that have increased their carry size and capacity in light of shocking news events. None I know of are looking for a firefight.

I usually carry a G26 with G19 mags, about 95% of the time. I have owned numerous 1911s and I don't rate them high on reliability.

It may be a needle but it goes like a sewing machine. I understand shot placement and that's what I use on deer because they stand still and let you shoot them in the heart. A man on the other hand well you just never know so like a full length lager caliber gun. Is it not ok to disagree on things or do yall always pick a man apart and make penis jokes?

Only when they comment that they "hate pocket guns" right after someone has said they once carried a pocket gun, meaning me. And yes, we ALWAYS talk about penises. If you say that you "hate" something that fully half the forum probably owns, you just have to expect some pushback. Especially if you double down on your defense of the statement.

That just means you don't have enough of an imagination. You're probably just used to the mixers.

We are. That's why I only deleted "some" of it. Plus it was only a "soft" delete, so the staff can go back and get a laugh later.

I should have taken a job with you two when I could, since it appears that "work" is entirely optional. Although, deleting your boss's posts might become problematic.
 
We tried to tell you but noooooo........benefits and all of that!
We work.....We like to work at nothing all day.
Work fascinates us...we can sit and watch it all day!
But, I digress.

Ahhhh. A caliber war thread. No gun forum is complete without one...... weekly
 
I will say this. Living out of the city now, and 5 miles from the nearest town, and over 300 yards off the closest road, we are much less cautious. This may be a mistake, and I recognize what meth has done to the rural landscape, but the people here are just nicer. Crimes of opportunity are just less likely here. I have firearms available close by and keep a loaded 12 gauge pump in the bedroom closet, but worry less about this kind of stuff.

Am I being naive? It is a serious question.

I think you are less likely to be hit by a crime of opportunity like someone walking by your open garage and stealing a bike. But you are more likely to be hit in a targeted crime because of your isolation. If you are noticed, then criminals would be less worried about being noticed while they clean out your entire home. An example is a friend's hunting club has a bunk house. This thing is back off the beaten path a bit. Once someone found out about it, they came by after hunting season when no one would be around and stole almost everything in it.

I don't think you should be paranoid but I don't think you should think your isolation makes you impervious either.
 
A .22 on yer hip is better than a .45 or .357 left in the sock drawer. Believe me, I prefer to carry the largest caliber I can, but my wrecked lower back can't take the weight of one of my 357s, 41s or 45s. That said, my G26 conceals easily, is light weight & will pile in the bullets, center mass, as fast as I can pull the trigger. My wife is deadly with her Walther P22 & if she starts dumping a mag into me, I'ma find somewhere else to be, with a quickness.

With few exceptions, there ain't a trained gunfighter on this board & fewer still who could easily & calmly "make the shot" under the duress & panic of a home invasion. Get a gun, any gun, train with it & be prepared to use it, should the need arise.

It is the Indian, not the arrow.

Or why to not open the door.

Or both. When I had some guns, I used to have a dedicated door gun. Shotgun behind the door like some folks keep a baseball bat.
 
I had a situation when I lived in Texas. Bad guy comes to the door. I was carrying at the time and ordered him to the ground. Bad guy was not stupid and he complied. Called 911 and the lady said let him go. They were afraid I would kill him.BTW- I did allow him to use his cell to call 911 also. could not understand why they wanted me to let him go. Later found out they had the neighborhood surrounded and caught him a block away. He went straight to jail on multiple warrants. I Lasts I heard he was serving time and a cop came by to thank me for helping catch him. He was a bit miffed that i caused the guy to piss his pants thou :) The moral of this story- Carry at home too!
