Woh!
I thought i was the only one thinking of the Garand and the M1911. seems im not the only one who appreciates such weaponry
. but, true that the bullet would cause some damage. not as much as a shotgun perhaps, fired at medium range, but itll put a hole in the wall. its better than getting shanked by some lowlife in black fatigues, who proceeds to run around the house like a child in a candy store and steal all your stuff.
however, a German Shepard, or another active dog would also be a must-have. hell, it could even be used (somewhat) in lieu of a weapon, granted he doesnt somehow get the upper hand before the dog severs his jugular. if you simply dont want a firearm around, get 2 or even 3 German shepherds. a man has to be one HELL of a trooper to take on 3 dogs at once, and win with his life or even most of his innards. German shepherds can be extremely vicious and will tear you up.
