You can incapacitate an intruder with tear gas or oven spray. If you shoot him with a .357 he will get angry and kill you.

I was in an arguement with my mother the other night, about my gun. (I live on my own.) She was concerned that, since I leave it in my bedstand drawer, I might shoot an intruder and be in serious trouble with the law. (I live in NH, so I'm not very worried about that.) I tried to explain to her that self-defense is a justifiable cause, and it's better than letting myself get killed. She only got more hysterical, and I couldn't get my point across.

She's not really a liberal, she just gets too much news from Peter Jennings.

The way I handlede that was to ask my mom, years ago, she died in 90, if she knew any women who ahd been raped or even mugged that were armed? The I said to her, "Mom, didn't aunt so and so's daughter get raped a few months back?" "do you think she would have been had she had a gun and knew how to use it?"

Try asking if she'd rather pay for Bail, or Burial?
