The funny thing is that I would rather have a tazer but they are illegal for private ownership, guess they would rather have me kill an intruder.

I was looking at maybe a .38 or even a .22 long rifle automatic that lookes like a .45 - $500. It needs to be something that would not knock my wife on her fanny if she needs to use it.


It has gotten to be an outdoor sport around these parts to break in on older people and rough them up.


BTW if you were to read Madison's Notes on the Philadelphia Convention you might conclude that "A well regulated militia" was in reference to the fact that because they did not want a standing army, the federal government was to take over the militias. The states did not really want this, but the problem was that they all used different arms and in a time of need they might find that they had the wrong size shot, etc.

This sort of became moot after 1812 when Madison foolishly got involved in a war he need not have and it was an Irish regiment that burned the White House. I used to pass the historic house in Brookevville, MD where Madison brought the government during that event, on my daily commute. That was when they discovered that a militia was no match for regulars.
