Ted Nugent on Gun Control

If anything ever escalated to a point where I were going to pull out a gun, the only way that person would leave would be in a body bag...especially if it was in my home. There won't be any chance for retaliation. If/when I buy a gun, it will be kept in my home and if my home is ever invaded and I feel I need to get my gun, it's probably going to have to be me or them. No chance I wave around a gun with no intention of using after you've broken into my home...none.

That's the way i feel it should be.
If someone is dumb enough to try to break in to your home, they are taking a huge chance with their life. I'll shoot first and ask questions later.

A few years back, my wife and I heard some rustling in the back yard, we peeked out the blinds and saw a man back there. I grabbed the gun and went to the back door and hid behind the wall. My wife called the cops. He was messing with the nob and trying to jimmy it. He must have heard the sirens (and the cops were VERY fast), and he ran off...he likely has no idea how close he came to death.

If you buy a gun get a pump shot gun. That distenct sound of pumping a shell into the chamber is enough to make most theives run for there life.

I was thinking more about purchasing a handgun.

And if you don't keep a bullet in the chamber (which I don't keep a bullet in the chamber) then the sound of cocking the gun is just as familiar to a pump action shotgun.

Yea but a shot gun gives you a better chance on a dark night.

Well, I do understand the sentiment, however, when in your home, you should be able to see the intruder, and 2, a shot gun will spray pellets which could damage the home. I have bullets that explode on impact, so the worst I will have to do is pick up pieces of brain.
Oh, and I have practiced regularly out at the range...I'm a sure shot.

you crack me up. "i'd use the shotty, but those pellets are just so... messy." Would you prefer the .44 and the ginormous bloodstain? Shooting someone is always going to make a friggin' mess.

Hard to beat a sawed off for self defense...
