JohnN:

My bathrobe gun is a Titan external hammer single action semi-auto .25 because of its weight, but more importantly because my Jennings J22 is not as reliable against jamming. They are both "NOSTRIL GUNS", but more importantly, I know I am going to shoot in the face (Not the forehead, too tough.) if I feel the need arises.

One of my "House guns" is a stainless steel Tauras 3" barrel five-shot snubbie loaded with semi-jacketed hollow points with my preferred aiming point, if necessary, the "badies" crouch. The crouch is not a quick killing zone, but extremely psychologically disabling before even firing. Anyone knowing you are going to shoot them there is more likely to run, try to bargain, or throw down their weapons and beg for mercy. My other house gun is a High Standard Mark IV 9-shot revolver with a 4" barrel in .22 magnum and is a face and forehead (Entrance through forehead is guaranteed, exit is not and the resultant bouncing around inside the skull is a really nice touch.) shooter.

My Springfield Mdl. 1911A1 with 2 hardball loaded magazines sits in the basement near my computers along with my 6 7/8" bull barrel Ruger Government .22 target pistol.

My Jennings J22 sits in the garage among my mechanics tools with 3 loaded magazines of "Ultra" velocity .22 hollow points and is kept very clean to avoid jamming.

I am an NRA certified Marksman 1st Class with a .45 caliber Mdl. 1911A1 which doesn't mean diddily should you become engaged in a fight for life. Unlike one of the posters on this forum, I have no qualms about cutting throats, shooting faces, or destroying the sex life of anyone meaning harm to me or mine.

I also own a gas powered BB pistol capable of 10 fast shots that I can probably blind you with before you can pull out your .454 casull howitzer to do me any harm.

I say please, thank you, excuse me and mean it in my day to day life. I treat others with respect, but stand ready to stand up against the worst of life even if I know I am going to lose the fight. Beyond that, I don't fantasize about gunfights as I would rather bounce tin cans with a .22 than dress up like "Shaft", stick a .45 auto in a shoulder holster and walk around trying to prove how "bad" I am.
