Dudes were quick learners. They mastered shavasana on the first attempt.

Which is why Laz is considering moving to Soviet Russia.

Been practicing your Aikido moves, eh? Grab a handful and GIT SOME!

I keep the .357 under the sofa-the .38 is the one that goes anywhere I am-the very first morning I moved here I was working at the computer when the former tenant of this property kicked in the door and started in my direction making threats. I’d already been told by a neighbor that the guy was a meth cooker/dealer, and I had the .38 on my desk-I pointed it at him, told him to GTFO, and my Husky stood up and snarled-it was enough-he left very quickly.

Mrs L carries a Ruger SP-101 loaded with +P .38 Spl ammunition. Anything more powerful is just wasted powder in a 2” barrel. But it will do the job.

Yoga Instructor uses Taurus .38 to Kill 2 of 4 Home Invaders ... Khalsa was born in Texas.

Any apparent contradiction may be sorted out in the details.

Not unusual.

Normally the areas we lived were fairly quiet but we still kept our guns within reach.

There is almost NO hunting in Chile so any firearms are strictly self defense.

I much prefer this to keeping a firearm on the nightstand.

Those are the 26 Bikram yoga asanas. Bikram is practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees, and each session is 1.5 hours. Bring two towels and a jug of water and prepare to get STRONG! She’s awesome!

I shot one of those a couple months back with regular .357 rounds. Rather stout, old boy. I'd have to really dislike someone to enjoy shooting that stuff in that gun. I think I put some Winchester 145 gr. Silvertips through it. Surplus ammo from the West Virginia State Police. Ouch. But it might have been a 3" barrel. :)

The lack of bars on the windows and door show this area, about 20 miles north of Santiago, has been fairly crime free. A wall surrounds the property.

20 miles/30 km north of Santiago puts you in farm and orchard country. Haven't been there in a long time but rural Chile generally didn't used to be bad - lock your rental car but don't worry too much about walking around town, at least in daytime. Think suburban Yakima, WA in terms of climate and population density.

Any detached house in Chile is likely to have a wall - with broken glass embedded in the top. Guns are hard to come by. I believe semi-automatics and military calibers are prohibited.

the first wall i saw in that configuration of glass on the top was the dupont estate on rt 141 as a kid. my understanding of the powder works there was the mangers houses were built in front of the bunkers facing the factory. safety was a big deal at dupont.

I’d hit it. I’d hit it. I’d hit it. I’d hit it. etc...

If you missed, I'd come out there and smack you.

I carry a Lady Smith snub nosed 38 in a holster. I used to have a Taurus snub nosed .38 but sold it since I like the Lady Smith better.
I agree. They’re a great woman’s gun.

I’m an anxious wreck. Always been randy so I did boxing in my late teens and twenties.

Don’t you have to be a calm person to do Yoga?

They didn’t sound like very good robbers. Doubt they had much!!

The young mobsters I knew growing up with at least put some effort into it. Scouting, planning. These guys were bozos.

What they were doing was wrong but being as I wanted to live past 25 and didn’t trust the police, I kept my mouth shut.
