OMFG - after staying up until 4:00 a.m. farting around on the computer, I was rudely awakened by the burglar alarm about ten minutes ago. Grabbed the .38 and charged downstairs to find the door to the garage slightly ajar. Cocked the .38, pulled the door open. Nothing there.
My wife hadn't checked to make sure the door was closed when she activated the alarm, and one of the cats had pawed the door open. It's happened before. :-)
Unfortunately, what hadn't happened before is me, tired and freaked out, having my thumb slip off the hammer of the .38 when I was trying to uncock it. Just shot a f#cking hole through the wall in the hallway which exited through the pantry door onto the kitchen floor. :-)
So I've had four hours of sleep, my ears are still ringing from the alarm and the gunshot, I just shot up my own f#cking house, and no way am I going to be able to go back to sleep now.
I really hate to break this to you, Fraz, but in light of the results of the Chiefs game today following your initial post, you're hereafter required to shoot a hole in the wall of your house each week and post a precise explanation of what the result was, at least until the next Chiefs loss...
I mean, you can't jinx them now that the defense is playing well, right...?

a .38 is considered good for home defense. You don't need a magnum for something intended for shots within five yards.
A lot of people would say a .380 is even good, cause it allows for minimum recoil, keeping you on target. If you somehow miss with your first shot, you want to be able to get that gun back down and on the person as fast as possible.
But in the end, its the piece you're most comfortable with. [Reply]
