 Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection The body of the post is pro-gun, but the signature line is selling us silk sheets.
...what is this bot trying to say?

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection The only functional, purpose-designed weapon I keep around the house is my great-great grandfather's cavalry saber; I have his boot-pistol, too, but I doubt that bullets compatible with it are commercially available anymore. I figure it's an even bet whether a burglar confronted with the saber would give me the full Indiana Jones, or get so freaked out seeing a guy coming at him with a three-foot sword that he'd take to his heels and not stop running until he was in Prince George's County.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection I have about a dozen Lord of the Rings swords, Captain America's shield and Thor's Hammer. I think I'm pretty safe. I also have Hellboy's gun The Samaritan, it's not a real gun but the size of it is enough to scare anybody.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection I have a police nightstick that I found in the bushes. And a wooden practice katana.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection I own an actual, honest-to-God katana. Guns are for sissies.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection My dad's hunting weapons are in the basement, and my sword and daggers are on top of the gun cabinet... So in case of a home invasion, I'm pretty much set.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection Wait until Uma Thurman comes and tries to take it away from you.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection I keep a machete under the bed. I used to sleep naked (although my wife put the kibosh on that pretty early on in our relationship), but I have to imagine that me naked with a machete would simultaneously blind any intruder while scaring them shitless. Of course, then I've got a screaming, blind, pooping man just wandering around my house...

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection It seems like there was a Venture Bros. episode like this. Ah, here: http://www.venturefans.org/vbwiki/Victo ... ._November.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection We're not allowed guns in the UK, but I have a Sabatier carving knife any slasher movie villain would be proud of.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection I'll never own a gun, but I have taught myself how to fashion a deadly weapon from a set of silk sheets.

Re: Do you keep any weapon or gun for protection Skeeter for the win.
I own a sword that looks pretty cool but would probably break if weilded against a stick of butter.
I also have pump action shot gun I inherited from my grandfather-in-law that will be just enough for me to buy a .22 in the face if I showed it. So I go with the alternative - leaving the house from my first floor bedroom window while the burglar escapes with my entire valuable DVD collection.
Unlike Stringbean, I would readily give up all my Opry pay if it entails my seeing the sun rise the next day.
