Starting the Season off with a Bang - Literally - Page 5

Frazod · 08:23 AM

OMFG - after staying up until 4:00 a.m. farting around on the computer, I was rudely awakened by the burglar alarm about ten minutes ago. Grabbed the .38 and charged downstairs to find the door to the garage slightly ajar. Cocked the .38, pulled the door open. Nothing there.

My wife hadn't checked to make sure the door was closed when she activated the alarm, and one of the cats had pawed the door open. It's happened before.

Unfortunately, what hadn't happened before is me, tired and freaked out, having my thumb slip off the hammer of the .38 when I was trying to uncock it. Just shot a fucking hole through the wall in the hallway which exited through the pantry door onto the kitchen floor.

Shit.

So I've had four hours of sleep, my ears are still ringing from the alarm and the gunshot, I just shot up my own fucking house, and no way am I going to be able to go back to sleep now.

Sure hope my day improves with a Chiefs victory.

That is all.

A lot of people would say a .380 is even good, cause it allows for minimum recoil, keeping you on target. If you somehow miss with your first shot, you want to be able to get that gun back down and on the person as fast as possible.

But in the end, its the piece you're most comfortable with.

Apparently you missed the smiley. I was razzing him....a bit of fun. Personally, I prefer a .45

I did miss the smiley. And a .45 is a good choice, IMO. Knockdown rates are 100%, meaning even if some amphetamine-head happens to threaten you, he's still going down.

Cause if any of you have ever seen a meth head get hurt, its crazy. They can get their hand cut off, and they'll keep going. I'm not going to lie and say I've had first-hand experience, but I've seen enough videos, and heard enough stories from my paramedic aunt that I'm convinced.

Then you either learn the Mozambique drill, or buy a 12 gauge pump with an 18" barrel.

No methhead is going to be able to withstand the hydrostatic shock from #4 buckshot.

I suppose you'd hide under the bed and send your wife down to investigate the alarm.

Probably. And I'd use my kids as shields too.

StcChief · 03-03-2009, 10:02 AM

damn cats... I check all entrances before set alarm.

Frazod · 03-03-2009, 10:42 AM

I'd actually been thinking about this, since we're having the house painted this week. The walls in the kitchen will now be a darker color, even though the hole is near the bottom of the side of the door, I think it will stand out more now. Probably time to fill in the hole and paint it over before my mother-in-law notices it.

Never thought I'd have to bondo my refrigerator.
