My wife has a 38. The officers at her job told her she needed a bigger gun. So she wants a colt 45. Lol.

5 shots to face and was still alive. Doesn't say much for a 38. Glad this isn't a story of a multiple homicide or a mother raped in front of here children.

It's not the round - I posted a video a while back of a trauma surgeon discussing the fact that handguns are subpar to rifles and shotguns for self defense. They are convenient and better than a stick or a bat. Would I want to get shot by one? No. But for home defense I am sticking to 12g. 00 buck.

Go back and watch that video - pretty amazing stuff.

This article ain't bad either…

And, of course MSNnow titled their coverage of this as "Trigger happy mom!" They've since changed it but, even when a gun is used to help save someone, they still paint it bad!

I'm thinking about getting a holster and screwing it under the top of my night stand and the clip will be hidden within arms reach too but a different location. The kids would never know it was there and I could be locked and loaded in seconds if someone entered my house in the middle of the night.

They make pistol safes that use fingerprint scanners to unlock them. Anyone have one of those? I'd like one like that for a shotgun and low enough to fit under the bed.

Looked at one today. Didn't wanna give Cabelas $250 though so, I passed. As my kids get a little older and are getting into more stuff that isn't theirs, I'll have one of these pistol safes. Would be pretty cool but, darn expensive for one for a shotgun.

She should be appplauded. Too bad she missed (yeah I know she connected with 5 out of 6 rounds but he walked away so she missed).

Now all the comments about kids brings to mind a question. Who has shown their kids all of their firearms and how to load them & make them safe? Are they or have they handled each of their firearms?

Yeah I know that is more than a question but here is my rationale behind it. I believe if you show your children what your weapon is and what it will do. then how to safely handle it under supervision you take the mystery and awe away so they will obey the rules and better yet know how to SAFELY handle it if presented with an unexpected occurance. I believe everyone should be taught how to safely handle a firearm whether they ever take up shooting or not or even like firearms.

Now my choice for in home defense is 12 gauge loaded with bird or squirrel shot. Why that load you say? Simple at 15 to 20 which is in home shooting distance squirrel or bird shot will penetrate a persons torso with a small spread and not penetrate the wal behind him that buckshot may. Perp is just as dead and not going to repeat the offense.

Totally agree with your logic about teaching children about firearms. When I was young my mom hated that my dad had guns in the house. She didn't want me or my brother to be anywhere around them. To us it was some cool toy that only the grown-ups got to play with, so naturally childhood curiosity would take over and we would take them out and play with them when she wasn't around. Once we started hunting and realized it was simply a tool, it was no longer "cool". We would only handle the firearms if we were outside shooting, hunting, or cleaning them.

What model shotgun do you have that holds 8 rounds?

I have an 870 pump that hold 5, is there an extended tube available?

I agree with this. My son (8) knows how to load and unlaod all my guns, I only have 4.

One time on the way to the duck blind we were walking the Marsh and jumped a deer. My buddy raised up and shot it in the neck from about 20 yards with 3" #7 steel shot and dropped it in its tracks. If it can kill a deer it can kill a human.
