No wonder guns laws are so strict in chicago. No common sense.

Depends on what room I'm in.

Heck, when I caught the burglar in my house a few years ago all I needed was my swinging richard and, apparently, a murderous tone and demeanor to have him go into the dying cockroach.

So both are appropriate under circumstances.

In fact if in not mistaken when someone reports a break in the police advises to lock themselves in a room
and wait for the officers to arrive.

I wouldn't use one of those, far to flimsy and expensive.
I've got an old Compaq keyboard that would do better, tough as old boots and weighs about as much as two house bricks.

Whichever one I happen to be carrying at the time, if not there’s usually a blade handy…plus bludgeoning weapons are easily improvised, my Louisville Slugger is a favorite but any heavy object will suffice. grrr


It was 1990, give or take, I don't remember
When the news of revolution hit the air
The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters
When the boys started cutting off their hair

The radio stations all decided angst was finally old enough
It ought to have a proper home
Dead, fat, or rich, nobody’s left to #%&*$#

Hmm I think the basement scene from Tremors comes to mind. I've no idea which one I'll grab, what ever is closest I suppose.

I will take this opportunity to point out that one of my buddies at work, also a fellow gun nut, has a Maasai/Zulu spear from Kenya (I believe that is where he got it). Anyway, we laugh all the time about his plan:

If there is one guy, he just blasts away with the scattergun. If there are two, he says it would be "cool" to chuck the spear through #1 from the top of the stairs, and #2 would of course be like "WTF? Was that a spear??!!??" at which time my buddy vaporizes #2 with the scattergun.

It tells much better in person that in print but I'm sure you get the idea and it is freaking hysterical.


"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11
