[MERIT]'s Ramblings

~~[MERIT]~~ · 02-03-2019, 06:20 AM

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

Next up is the Taurus Spectrum [pictured below], a semiautomatic
pistol chambered in .380 ACP. It has a 2.8" barrel, a 6-round
magazine and it weighs just 10 ounces unloaded. You can usually
find one for around $225 USD. It also comes in lots of fancy ass colors.

================================================== ================================================== ===================================

There are similar offerings from Ruger, SCCY, ATI and Diamondback, but, for the money, nothing is going to beat a brand new Hi-Point. With a lifetime warranty and a +P rating, they are all you need to get by on the cheap. But if you prefer to go the used route, see if you can find a pre-owned .357 Magnum revolver that is in good condition.

I saw that last one sold at an arts and crafts store of all places. They called it a "glue gun".

When my brother-in-law moves, he's required by law to report to his new city / ward office and register his hands and feet as deadly weapons. Such is the law regarding karate black belts of a certain degree here.

Think I might add to the "Protecting Yourself On The Cheap" posts with things other than firearms, like best knives, pepper spray, tasers, knucks,etc.? Whatcha think?

I dunno. It's all equally boring.

Talk about different kinds of coshes.

Well, no matter what I write about, it will get shit on, so I may as well just stay in my wheelhouse. Maybe I will talk about the hollow Earth or extraterrestrials or the secret space program. If I can find something that others are interested in as well, then it makes it funner and facilitates positive interaction.

If you can connect brass knuckles if not probably pepper spray.

Against non-humans I think a knife.
