A Roman stabbing sword (not a replica.) Don’t want to disturb the neighbors but it could get messy.

I’m not going away if they come for them, I will stand. But I don’t own any, so no reason for them to even come check. The proverbial boating accident. :)

Get it? They have created a situation where honesty is not always the wisest intelligent survival tactic in this battle if you want to keep them.

Not running, just smart enough to not tell them and the world what I have in my back pocket without a warrant. The days of bragging are over.

Two pointed 30” lengths of 3/8ths rebar.

I traded my 870 for a Mossburg Shockwave and obtained several hundred rounds of the smaller ammo with the block. If I need a pump shotgun I have several wingshooters to take up the slack. I have several M1911 .45 pistols with different makes (Colt, Kimber, Para Ordnance, DoubleStar,) and an HSC and a PPK @ .380 for lightweight carry. Several .22 rifles from bolt action, pump, and semi. My favorite .22 is the '03 Springfield trainer with a peep sight.

People here are not bragging, they are talking about what works well for them. What they feel comfortable with.

My 1978 Marlin 60 is a rifle. I’m not scared to post it.

The last thing the government wants is a populace afraid of them.

Try the CZ-75, it’s like a “slicked up” Hi Power.

Speaking of edged weapons, I have always had a strong interest in knives, swords, and spears. I don’t ever intend to get into a knife fight as I am a bit afraid of them.

I still have a fairly good collection. A couple of weeks ago I bought 3 Spyderco folders. They are all made in China and sell for about a third of their American made ones. These were on clearance for $9, $9, and $7.

I am really impressed. The Chinese have really improved their quality. I can find no flaws of any kind. Everything is perfectly fitted which it should be for a $55. knife even made in China.

1. Savage 320 Tactical 12 guage
2. CZ 2075 Rami
3. AR-15

I have “a few” more but those would be my 3 in that category.

and 500 rounds of ammo is $10 on sale.

So is 22 LR so no price advantage with air gun. There are 50 cal airguns that will drop anything.

Rusty rebar is pretty easy to hang onto even wet. :)

The sound of a 12-gauge shotgun racking also gives away one's position. Just sayin'.

Not to mention you are carrying one less round.

I guess sharpened rebar would make an effective weapon. I do think I would wrap the part you hold with either tennis tape or athletic tape.

I think I would go a step farther. Make a spear out of it. The Spartans killed people by the bushel using their Dorys or stabbing spears.

I’ve never seen bricks of 22 lr for $10. Perhaps $25 for el cheapo plain lead.

The pellet rifle is quieter too.

That is a fact, you could wrap it. But if you practice Kali you learn to hold slippery weapons fairly well. I work out with 3/4” schedule 40 PVC because it weighs the same as equal lengths of 3/8” rebar. With this discipline all efforts and exercises universally ready you for and apply to open hand, knives, sticks, walking canes, and swords. It is one of the most efficient yet effective disciplines even for old and disabled folks. Check out Arnis and Kali. :)
