Are those legal? Seriously whats a good choice for a home defense weapon? Shootgun? Hand gun? taser?

I put off watching that movie for the longest time because it just looked retarded to me, from the trailers. Then I finally saw it and it was easily the second funniest movie I've seen in the last five years.

The same damn thing happened to me.

A home defense weapon should be a short weapon that is easy to control with one hand. In other words you want a pistol.

While a shotgun is very powerful and has the whole intimidation factor, it is actually a very bad HD weapon. A house is going to keep any combat down to under a few feet. This means that you will need to react quickly and with a long gun you just can't do this.

And yes you can own an UZI as long as it is not full auto. Hell you can even get some that are full auto is you can get a Class III stamp and can afford to pay out about $8000 for the gun.

No, I cant afford 8k for a stamp? I have stopped out of curiosity at an gun shop before, but nothing said 'buy' me. The few hand guns I picked up didnt feel right in my hands. The grips were too big or it feel too heavy etc.

The stamp is 200 bucks after you get approval from your local ATF office and Sheriff Department. The Uzi, which is the cheapest available Automatic weapon, is around 8K. Most are closer to 15 or 25K with some approaching the 100k mark. And that is of course IF you can find them available for sale.

Hmm. Not knowing you it is hard to tell what gun may be suited for you. Try an officers model 1911. Kimber and Springfield both make good ones. A Pig 239 might also be well suited for smaller hands.

I think the operative question is, "Do we really want it on our consciences if Jackman buys a gun?"

/shudder

Personally, I use a 9mm Browning Hi-Power with Glazer ammunition. Not shooting through walls or ricocheting are both good qualities in home defense, as is 100% kinetic energy transferred to the target.

Why are they so expensive? Surely police and military organizations don't pay so much for guns.

Bush Sr put forward an executive order that banned the sale of any new Machine gun. This means that anything made after 1986 can not be sold and there is a finite number of weapons on the market. Even sub standard weapons bring a premium. A new fully automatic M16 will cost about 1100 bucks for a police department. Maybe a bit more depending on the configuration. A used average condition M16 would cost me about 15K + the tax stamp.

I have huge hands. Little guns are uncomfortable to hold. Average guns are okay, but my hand cramps after a while (admittedly, not an issue for home defense). Tiny guns are right out. I was trying out my mom's Derringer. Now I know...it's a one (or two, in Mom's case) shot deal designed more to scare the victim while you run. But damn. That thing was uncomfortable to hold.

Never gotten my hand on any large-round pistols, though. Shotguns I have. Hunting rifles I have (and am a reasonably decent shot, I'm told). Pistols...meh. Too tempting to fool around with them. I watched too many cowboy flicks as a kid.

If it's a verb, then there's improper subject-verb agreement.

A .50 is a stupid home defense weapon. You'll only get one shot before the bad guy is standing toe-to-toe handing you your gizzard. And most first shots miss. Not to mention the fact that you're likely to injure somebody in the next room or in the next apartment or walking by on the sidewalk, since your wild first shot is likely to go through several walls.

If you don't currently own a gun, and don't plan to take the safety courses and practice regularly, do the rest of us a favor and just press the panic button. And remember, always keep the little hole toward you.

I do not know what level your reading comprehension skills are but the Person who the post was directed to was able to answer the question so I guess either his are better than yours, or you are simply looking for something to bitch about. Meanwhile the thread has moved on and it was more or less decided by the parties who were involved with the conversation that a gun was not for me and that I was going to stick with my panic button.
