Same goes with a taser. A taser is better than nothing for those folks who have made the decision not to have a firearm for home defense.
So the BG enters the house with an illegal/stolen firearm to face grandma with a cane at best.
Kind of wish grandma was allowed to possess a taser.
Where does she live that she can't have a taser? They are openly and freely available here in Texas. Grandma needs to move here. :)
But this grandpa (with cane BTW, temporarily at least) prefers .45 ACP, .30 Carbine and 12 gauge (mine has 18.5" barrel, full length pistol grip stock) There's a video of me shooting the serious social purposes shotgun (I have a bird gun too) on YouTube. (Can't go to YouTube here, but it's under "Humblegunner" and something like "3rd Texas Cowboy Memorial shoot. Lots of other FReepers shooting their weapons of choice, plus the livestock on the range.) In the video I also have one of the .45s on my hip (EAA Witness compact) , where it looks very tiny indeed.
