If you are willing to learn how to build a gun, look around for shotgun-pistol kits. A local gunshop may be able to help you look for it. It's a pistol that can fit in a back pocket and can turn a target into confetti. It's single shot, but that's all you're going to need since it uses shotgun style ammo (I believe it can also take a standard bullet as well).If you wanted a handgun for strictly defensive, concealed carry purposes, I'd recomend a .357 snub nose revolver. Easy to carry, easy to draw, and more than sufficient power to drop and attacker. The recoil is heavy but easy to manage, and most models have speed loaders available.

Is it a .410? A lot of guns chambered for .410 shells can fire a
.45 colt round, at least from what I've read up about them.
Of course, if you're really aching for the extra firepower, a
454 casull round would quite nicely.

yeah, and the state we happen to be in is indiana, not arkaland. look it upArka wrote:Uh, yes, that would be my choice IF I still trusted my capacity to disarm knife-wielding assailants. Sadly, I don't, because I no longer weigh 200 lbs nor lift and throw 200-300 lbs with relative efficiency.
The big thing is the balance impairment that I mentioned in my previous post. I'm not going to try any crazy stuff when it requires conscious thought for me to just stand upright. I'm still hoping that will rectify itself as the illness that caused it recedes into history, but for now...
BTW, you're wrong about the relative legal ease of concealed carry handguns vs. knives. Most states have the same permit requirement for concealed knives as for concealed handguns.

It's something to keep in mind if you go over state lines a lot. The four states surrounding Indiana aren't nearly as leniant with knives as our own. Most have a limit to the size blade you can carry, open or otherwise, where we do not. Wouldn't want to get thrown in jail over something so trivial.yeah, and the state we happen to be in is indiana, not arkaland. look it up
Actually, compared to a lot of states, Indiana's pretty leniant when it comes to weapons in general.
Well you guys always complain about people polluting threads and getting way off topic. Unless people want to post a picture of themselves getting shot by a gun or something, stop talking about guns in the post a picture of yourself topic. Or I'll shoot.

Well you always bitch about "as long as what you're doing doesn't encroach upon me, then I don't care." Well most people don't wanna read about convoluted and unnecessary opinions in a topic where we're supposed to make fun of how everyone else looks.Original Sin wrote:actually, I really don't give a damn about off topic stuff. The conversation started here somehow, so I'll contribute to it so long as there are people that keep talking about it. It's not like we have a terribly large amount of stimulating or intelligent conversations around here anyway.

I'm not going out of my way to keep this going, either. Anyone's welcome to PM me about it, but if they post in this thread, then I'll answer it in this thread. I didn't start the damn thing, so I'm not gonna go out of my way to finish it.
If you really want a topic to go away, then don't respond to it...if you're such the internet god everyone makes you out to be, you should know that. By telling me to shut up, you're only prompting me to respond. I'm certianly not going to sit around all day and add to a conversation if no one else has anything to contribute.
