Some home defense alternatives
Slingshot: A steel ball bearing in the head will bring down an intruder. Hold still you nasty man, while I load this slingshot and shoot you with it!
Crossbow: This could easily be fatal. Same as above except for loading a bolt.
Bow and arrow: It worked on Custer. Ukm, the wascally injuns used firearms.
Baseball bat: If you know where to hide and can hit from behind, why not? Bad guy knows you're there. Oops.
Broadsword: If the intruder is unarmed someone with a good sword can bring him down with just a little training. Even a light fencing foil can be awfully intimidating if you file off the button and learn how to use it. Gitcha some, sir lacksalot.
Cellphone: Just hide and call 911. You do know where to hide in your house, right? Shoot the cellphone using the slingshot.
Super Soaker water gun loaded with something nasty that would hurt the eyes, but not damage the furniture, like strong soap, or tabasco sauce. That's the ticket.
Darts: Could be anything from very painful (in the knees) to very fatal (in the face or head)
Blow gun: And you probably wouldn't even need poison darts. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Tranquilizer gun: It worked on werewolves for Buffy, why not on intruders? I'm getting the feeling that spotted spud is jerking their chain.
Laser pointer in the eye. A burglar sneaking in at night, temporarily blinded by a laser pointer could then be clubbed with a baseball bat before he saw it coming. Yup, he is. :rotf:
A Panic Room: Expensive, and you'd need time to get into it. As with all the other items listed.
What other ways can we come up with to defend your home and family without needing assault rifles? Pisstol? :whistling:

3. Wasp spray . . .
shoots up to 20 feet. Shoot an intruder in the face and there's so no need to engage in person-to-person combat.
That's going to make his poker go limp. Yup.
Lots of fun in the thread.

5. Pies!
Preferably cream, but some fruits like apples or berries might be effective as well.

Either nads has every single person in that thread on ignore or she's on some special ops mission somewhere. Otherwise I'm sure she'd jump in to tell them everything they need to know about home defense.

I've heard about the wasp spray one. Supposedly, it's effective, as the stuff really is a nerve agent (not sure which one) that is highly diluted.

You should totally booby trap the floor under windows with marbles too. It was super effective in Home Alone :rotf:

Pair it up with a lighter and you've got a flame thrower as well.

I'll just stick with my .45 and 185 grains of P+ asshole repellent, thanks all the same, DUmmies.

Funny you should also mention that--I have a Remington Super-Express 12-gauge pump with a nice short barrel.

This guy watched Home Alone a few too many times.

I'm working on the 18" barrel for the 870 . . . for now, either the 870 with the 28" RemChoke (Modified) barrel, or the 1100 Magnum with the 20" rifle-sighted RemChoke (Rifled) barrel will have to do. I think I've got an Improved Cylinder RemChoke tube around here somewhere.

A couple short of a hundred comments in that thread.
A few of them got it, others not so much.
There even a few comments about evil guns.

85. That would be very effective
But you'd probably be prosecuted for cruel and unusual punishment.

25. Why is there an assumption
that somebody wants to come into your home to attack you to begin with?
Along the same thought, why do you wear a seatbelt while driving?

You're being too kind, they can hear you rack the 870, and it might be amusing to watch them pee their pants before dying.
I have a Benelli M4, they may or may not hear the safety click off.

They might hear me "rack" a round into the GLOCK but anything else I put my hands on will be silent.....they might hear a loud "BOOM" but that will be the last thing they hear......eternal silence after that.

BadCat, I already have to clean out Oreo's litter box. I don't want to have to clean up piss and shit that some perp is too rude to leave somewhere else.
'Course, I could just use the 1100 Magnum, and click the safety off . . . O-)

I've never understood that.
If I'm a bad guy, I shoot while you're playing with the pump gun.
Keep one in the chamber.

While I agree with the 'keep one in the chamber' sentiment, if you're around a corner from the miscreant, or on another floor, the racking of the slide does let said perp know that you're gonna 'deal with him' soon.

Your Grandma's black cast iron skillet. Hey, it works in old cartoons.

Darn I don't have any of those things. I just have a little 9mm. I can't even make a hole in a burglar that a 45 can. I'll just have to console myself with multiple shots and go for quantity over quality.
Good thing my gun holds much more than 10 rounds.

...Tranquilizer gun: It worked on werewolves for Buffy, why not on intruders?...
I thought Buffy dealt with vampires, not werewolves...
Besides, have you seen what silver is going for these days? :lmao:

Convert it to English units and it sounds much more formidable .354. As an added bonus you give a little FU to the metric system.

So um, if the goal is to kill or incapicitate an intruder, why are any of these methods morally superior to a gun? He's just as dead with a blunt force blow to the head (if you can even get a swing in) as he is with a gun.

Then there is the fact that some of their methods might not kill the intruder, but merely cause them permanent damage. What a way to set themselves up for a lawsuit.
Imagine the person blinded by by bugspray suing for everything they own. They can't do that if they are dead.

I set bear traps by the doors every night. Works real well. Ask my 3 legged dog.

The DUmmies might as well go full retard and just buy one of these.

Not scary enough. They need to paint it black, and that way they can call it an "assault table".
