Great advice Grizz, thanks for all your time on this one!

Personally, I would go with the sawed off due to my laziness and because I might panic and all. I THINK I could hold the trigger and pump the gun, pointing it in the general direction of the perp.

After 8 rounds, I think I might actually have hit him/her/them.

Who knows?

JAAY,

Next time you're down this way, give me a heads up. OhioBoxster is here this weekend. We were supposed to hook up for lunch today, but I got called in to work for an emergency that never materialized. I sat around the command post all day reading the 986forum.

Just finished reviewing the entire thread. Amazingly civil postings. Struck me that we are more alike than I suspected. If there are anti-gun people out there they are polite. Saw no flames. But a lot of good advice.

Also surprised with the long, interesting life of the thread.

Second thought was to reiterate an important principle: If you are not 100 % willing to use a gun, don't make one available to an intruder.

70 Sixter, the anti-gun movement was more vocal the last time we had a running shoot-out over handguns:

The discussion got pretty heated and we were fortunate that no one was shot over the second amendment !

So true on the your last point. If you aren't going to use that gun, don't get it!
