I like my Sig P220 better for home defense, but my Remington 870 is better.<BR/><BR/>Swords are nothing to sneeze at, but then again anyone with a pocketknife or better is getting shot as soon as they cross the 21' mark...Natoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10529708894229717666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714774671217914435.post-11099389931782867842008-07-15T19:08:00.000-04:002008-07-15T19:08:00.000-04:00My friend has battle worthy swords as they used to do business in that realm. I say they are indeed useful, but learning from them I would not trust other items of lesser quality. You may end up like that guy on QVC: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7e77oXjFkIs <BR/><BR/>All in all a sword, axe, mace, flail, dirk, or a Roman short sword would be good ideas. I like the axe myself.<BR/><BR/>I like the fact you stated the firearm is not the end all be all, because it is not.Jennersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10530094976930472417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714774671217914435.post-59407144963998172642008-07-15T13:16:00.000-04:002008-07-15T13:16:00.000-04:00Yup. If you have one you have to know how to use it and to get to it when it is still feasible to use it. Guns are not the end all of defense. But I like 'em an awful lot. Ordered more 00 Buck today! I love that stuff.<BR/><BR/>MichaelStaying Alivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12833293437407206880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714774671217914435.post-30097191808900734082008-07-14T01:08:00.000-04:002008-07-14T01:08:00.000-04:00Only a FOOL thinks that guns are an instant win...Dragonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02127473453909413019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714774671217914435.post-37142412093014509102008-07-13T20:23:00.000-04:002008-07-13T20:23:00.000-04:00Only a fool brings a knife to a gunfight.

I hope that these are just bad feelings, but I did go out and buy a couple of boxes of shotgun shells today. I'll also do some canning tonight. <BR/><BR/>Strange times, strange world. Be careful out there, pay close attention to your surroundings. We can't do shit about the big picture, but we can have a say at the day to day level.Degringoladehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11893964959960977677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714774671217914435.post-33359982996374878652008-07-13T13:53:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:53:00.000-04:00No joke Dragon. My "heebie jeebie" level is a 9 today. Folks are gettin' jittery, and methinks it won't be long before the lighbulb begins to flicker, and the sheeple start hoardin' stuff. 'Twon't be pretty at all when they do, especially for folks like me with their drawers around their ankles....
