You might try reading the entire discussion before putting your dick in your mouth. The premise that shutyomouth presented, and I was responding to, was that somebody was beating up a family member.
It wasn't somebody breaking into the house.
It wasn't jack-booted government agents breaching your security perimeter.
It wasn't somebody coming at you with a knife.
It was some intruder beating on a family member. Try to remember this.
So, if you come home, or wake up, or whatever, and find an intruder beating up a family member are you going to pull a out an M16 or even a 9 mm and start shooting? Good luck with that and be prepared to kiss your family member goodbye. Yeah, I know, you can shoot with pinpoint accuracy and can hit a 4 inch circle on a moving target from 10 or 15 feet 100% of the time. Most people probably can't though. Even if you do you'd better make sure your loved one isn't behind the perp when you shoot.
So, yeah, I'll go after the intruder with the framing hammer or if I don't want to get so up close and personal maybe I'll pull out the closest Louisville Slugger or 9 iron.
isn't it time for you to go and check your security cameras? I think a possum may have triggered one of your trip wires you fucking hysterical paranoid freak.
Lay out all the alternative scenarios you want to Mikey, and all the " but I said this" bullshit, but the fact is you are still going hand to hand. Let's look at your scenario, which you will change of course to suit your needs...

Yes I am. 9 mm for your information. That would be the tactical choice for that situation. Living in a rural area, Even though that person maybe just "beating " my family member, I am going to assume he may have other deadly weapons. Assuming he is just "beating" them could be a fatal assumption. Felony physical assault can be met with deadly force.
I have multiple driveway alarms. They trigger when ever someone drives in walks in or other wise breaks the infrared plane. This then allows me to see who or what has entered my property. If some one got into my house, past the door locks, got past the German Shepard, and assaulted a family member, then I am going to shoot them, with the gun I carry or have within arms reach at all time. If the family member has not shot them first.

Don't have to hit a 4 inch circle. 3 rounds into a 16 inch body area is going to stop the threat. And to your surprise, since I train and practice, a 4 inch moving circle from 10 or 15 feet is really not that hard.
Even if you do you'd better make sure your loved one isn't behind the perp when you shoot.
No fucking shit. Training, training, training.

So you carry a framing hammer and 9 nine iron with you, or have them placed in your home where you can get to them in under 10 seconds ? In your car ? On your person walking the dog ? Still going hand to hand even with a weapon. Getting inside the perps circle that close is going to dramatically increase your odds of being injured or killed, rendering you useless of any further assistance to your beaten family member.
Make fun of all my shit as much as you want there pacifist Mikey. Those who can do, those who can't call 911 and wait for help.
