[QUOTE="Ryan Schaecher, post: 647418, member: 56872"] You could also say that if you drive a car, you are more than likely going to get into a wreck than somebody who walks to work. If there are no guns in the house, an accidental shooting would be awefully odd. If you never drive or own a vehicle, how do you get into a crash? As far as breakins in Arkansas.... we are no immune. My neighbors have had a lot of stuff stolen from thier carport over the last two years. Motion lights and security cameras do nothing but help the crook to see what they were stealing. The camera? It's now gone with the rest of the stolen tools and parts. I live in a neighborhood where atleast 1/2 of the homes are armed. Break-ins are rare, but have happened once or twice (the first home in my neighborhood was built 5 years ago). Places like Little Rock, North Little Rock, West Memphis (all within a 1-1/2 hour drive of my house) and others have a high crime rate (as high as Memphis, East St Louis and Watts per capita). I am looking at getting some of the Horniday TAPS rounds or similar frangibles in .40S&W for self defence. They are good for close range and break-up with contact with building material such as drywall. What shrapnel may penetrate one side of the wall should be stopped by the other side. Problem is that they can make a bit of a mess with a gut shot. Personally, a 20Ga shell with half powder load and rock salt is a nice touch. Not overly deadly, zero over-penetration, and the bad guy will hopefully think twice about what they are doing next time. The problem I see with fireing any gun in the house is that the concussion could be enough to break several windows, especially in a small house and the windows are all closed. [/QUOTE]
