i think the idea is that you survive the assault/robbery, call the police, then they go out and catch him.

Well, in theory sounds good to a point. But they have never found the scumbag who murdered my brother. Now if my brother was armed, he may still be alive...

Naw! The 9mm is ok for sure. I just like having a slower heavier expanding bullet so more energy is transferred to the potential perp. But, if I ever was awakened in the night, I will reach for the shotgun first...

Well, Mr Flamingboat, if your (expletives deleted) self lives long enough to gain some sense, you might realize that not all wheelchair bound folks are old and have one foot in the grave. Part of the advantage of the weapon is it's size and the fact that it looks nothing like a "hang gun" (sic). The one round thing is a problem. But, once again, since most muggings occur "up close", being able to access the weapon rapidly and deploy it in close proximity to the target makes the odds of hitting said target pretty good. In fact, from a wheelchair, a good upwardly aimed gut shot with a hollow point round should make a would be attacker hesitate long enough to escape or maybe even reload and take a head shot.

Wrong. Many home robberies happen in mid day when it is bright and sunny, and they happen in very good neighborhoods.....such as where I live. Should I stay away from my home and go live at a shopping mall?

I am wheelchair bound and cannot operate a handgun. I'm also old, relatively speaking. (closing in on 60) I am however, anything but worthless.

I do understand that some people (you perhaps?) are very weak and die off when encountered with a little hardship in their lives.
Please feel free to use that one round in the manner you suggest.

9mm is a good round, but with that short of a barrel there can't be all that much speed. Still better than nothing.

Well you're the one who said you like to drive them crazy "just to mess with them" so it was a natural assumption to make. You've certainly managed to irritate the handicapped members of this forum so i have to wonder if irritating people is the reason you are here... :hmm:

Is it plural? I didn't know until I read back through the posts. Now I see it's digital trucker I'm not appologizing at all. At any rate I only said whay I would do it I was wheelchair bound wearing diapers.

That is because it was a rhetorical one.

Are you knobs still talking about a little pea shooter? For real? Europeans must not be able to fathom the idea of a weapon.

A clue for you guys - a much worse weapon exists there. Its called a baseball bat.

There hasn't been a Euro posting on this entire page so far Sub. Just a bunch of Americans being baited by a troll.

Well, one Canadian as well.

And whom is the troll of which you speak?
