Gives new meaning to 'shooting a load'

Yeee-haw! Talk about stupid ideas! Let me give some advice and a quick tip in urban warfare. Never, ever, ever try to run down a dark hallway carrying a loaded long rifle. You don't believe me?

Picture this, 3:00 AM in the dark, noises heard in the kitchen, Dad hears a noise in the kitchen, rolls over, grabs the gun. Scenario A: safety is off and gun goes "boom", scares the crap out of Mom and causes irreparable damage to Dad's lower legs but does scare off the cat/burglar/teenage son; B: Safety is on or at least until Dad is running down the hallway at which time he manages to release the safety and collide with the wall discharging the piece; C: Dad grabs the gun, removes safety, calls 911 and waits sensibly in the room with the gun aimed at the door.

Now, 2 out of the 3 are bad but if he follows the "C" scenario he has made a smart move. A shotgun in the bedroom? Cmon! If you feel you need protection then get yourself a .38, load it with snake-shot and keep it handy. It may not kill the SOB but neither will it kill the son/daughter by accident.

Yeah, yeah, I know, "But I want to use my .44 mag and blow a fist sized hole in the mutha". Blowing a hole through someone is not the point. You want to knock down, incapacitate or scare off the perp. If you miss with the .44 that round aint stopping in the drywall. It's going through and continuing in a line until it hits something solid enough to stop it. Say, Aunt Martha who is in town visiting, sleeping two rooms down.

I would have liked to have seen Builly Mays do an infommercial for that.

It is funny.

Voice-over, "But wait! That's not all! With each purchase, you get not one but TWO bottles of Oxy-clean for the ensuing blood stains"!

I looks exactly like an onion news video, are we sure it for real?

I wondered that at first but their website looks pretty good - it'd be a lot of effort to expend for a gag - and there are a lot of folks who want their gun handy while they sleep.

Not sure I'd want a shotgun handy though. Lot of room for trouble.

I could laugh but in August I was laid up for a few weeks with five broken ribs and was in no position to stand up to an intruder. I kept the one scary firearm I have in a shallow wooden box next to my recliner-chair/bed, at the ready. Getting out of bed is one of the hardest things with broken ribs so I rented one of those recliner chairs with the motor that will halfway stand you up.

My scary firearm is a Walther P99 with a red dot scope affixed. That is, an airgun of that model, also made by Walther, a .177 caliber pellet. I figured I could at least bluff an intruder or shoot him in the face if I had too. I had only to twist the CO2 cartridge container to puncture the cartridge and slap in it, sorta like loading a clip, and it was ready. The CO2 cartridge leaks slowly if you puncture it and don't use it all within a few days or a week.

I don't thing I would point an air gun at someone who might have a real gun.
