I would never buy a handgun. When it comes to intruders, pump action shotguns are far superior and a lot more intimidating.

I've visited a few banks, asking if I could see their safes, and if they had any "extras." Now I don't understand why, but I'm hastily escorted off the premises...how rude, it was just a question!



Haha!

After spending a lifetime in law enforcement, the only thing I have to say is. GIVE IT UP. Only two items in your household, with time and perseverance can't be replaced. You and your family. Every graveyard has its dead hero whose life ended with there own self defense weapon. It's just not worth it. Even if you do come out on top, no matter what the circumstances, the taking of another human beings life is something you have to live with the rest of yours. Think about it.

This is the wisest piece of advice here. I have yet to find any possession that is worth more than the life of my loved ones or myself. I have studied martial arts for more than 24 years now, and taught for over 15. I always teach to give up your valuables if confronted with a weapon. Only defend if you truly believe your life is in danger. It is simply not worth it. We also teach that you should expect to get hurt when you defend against a weapon, it is that simple.
