Hell, even if you have a gun, the best bet for defending your home with it...is to leave the bullets in your pocket, Andy, and give him a buttstroke to the mouth. Promise, you'll have all the time in the world to call the cops after one good hit. The only time it's even -remotely- safe to shoot an intruder...is when he's already laying on his face with his arms stretched out - though I get that it would be difficult to explain that to the cops (if you get the chance...after all, when they show up and see a guy with gun..........).
(for those psychotics who think that a baseball bat isn't menacing or effective - enough-....go get a hatchet for all I care, see what happens when a burglar finds himself in an unfamiliar home with a naked lunatic waving a hatchet at his neck. Get your hands wet, if you just have-to-have that penetrative fix.)
I used to keep a sword by my bed but my wife kept bitching about how it looked so I had to put it up.
Fuck it, I'm going to get that thing back out.
