I tried to explain to some people who have never handled guns why Biden’s proposal re teaching cops to shoot perps in the leg rather than the torso is insane. They just didn’t get it.
As the number of hunters and rural raised people decline we are going to lose a lot more of the legislative battles

......and if you miss the smaller target the other guy blows you away.
Don't pull a gun but don't shoot to wound
Bill, while I applaud your vocal support for 2A, the statement above about shooting someone in the leg with a Desert Eagle is far from true and quite preposterous. With that said, carry on!If you shot someone in the leg with a Desert Eagle, not only would his leg be blown off, but the impact of the hit would destroy all his organs.
Some day I will own a Desert Eagle.

What gun would Jesus prefer?I will gladly give up my guns when our Lord and Savior returns and tells all of us to turn our swords into plowshares.

No sir. Decades of hand loading ammo and shooting game animals with said ammo confirms that shooting something in the leg, regardless of how large/powerful the round will not destroy all their other organs. The leg, particularly if heavy bone is struck, will certainly be destroyed, but not other organs. Now had you been more specific and said a well placed center mass shot, and limited the organs in question to those in the chest cavity, well, now you're onto something. Again, I salute your staunch defense of 2A.The math behind the claim is that the size of the projectile is .50 caliber. That is huge, and when fired it leaves the gun traveling at around 1900 ft/s giving it a power of around 3796 Joules of power. The percussion of that kind of power hitting a human body is enough to destroy organs that were not otherwise touched by the bullet. The claim came from ballistics tests. Looking for a link referencing the tests.
12ga pump shotgun. The pump action noise is a good deterrent by itself. Excellent home defense.Looking for input:
For the first time in my life I am seriously considering purchasing a self-defense weapon, or two. I have done very little shooting but did try a few different options during a couple of indoor range visits over the past two years.
Suggestions?

Are you "legally allowed" to posses a firearm in Chicago?Same here.
Yes. I'm in the burbs but yes the SCOTUS made it so several years ago, I believe. Must apply for a FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) card. Easy to get, really. It's the concealer's;ed carry that is much more involved.Are you "legally allowed" to posses a firearm in Chicago?

For the road: .40 cal Glock pistola. 16 rounds. Reliable action and good stopping force. Carried by Feds and local cops both. Be careful where you put your hands or the slide will rip your skin.
Have an experienced shooter train you on both. Wear ear protection when learning.
Now you just need to get "scope eye" and you will be all set!Lol. You'll love my story. Let me preface it by stating that I grew up in a very left-wing, anti-gun family. Once in the real world, I obtained my own, separate beliefs.
Anyway. About 5 years ago, I decided to buy a Glock and take a carry class (another state). My daughter - whose boyfriend was a few months away from graduating high school and joining the Marines - went with me. Once I purchased the gun, the two of us went to the gun range out back. Before lining up for the first shot, she told me she didn't think I was holding the gun correctly. Sure enough, slide slices the **** out of my hand. To make matters worse, I had to go back to the front desk and ask if they had any bandages.
I'm good now, but that first foray into gun ownership was quite a lesson.
