shot guns are the perfect self defense weapon

But there is no reason on the 420, it is open and flat, for here. It is just that all the drivers follow my first Law of Traffic, discovered on Easter Monday 1983: "When it is busy the person in front goes slow".

Open up the command line.

Type ipconfig

Type ping followed by the IP address for Pentax Forums.

The result will be the response time from your computer, through your ISP, the Internet, the ISP of Pentax Forums and the server the forum resides on.

Easy

No pain

Yeah, but you've then got that ammo problem to solve.

Decisions, decisions.

Scatterguns are nice, and effective, but hard to conceal. Plus, you need some room to use them, and a bit of distance from the target.


I prefer a Ruger Security Six, 357 Magnum, 6" barrel, in stainless. Fits nicely in a shoulder holster under my left arm.

no need to conceal in my home

and with an 18 inch slug barrel ----

and if the plan works out:

I'm in the bed room with wife behind me on phone to 9 11

and I am saying, " I'm insured, take what you want, but don't show up in this door way"
