You Break in My Home, You Ride Shotgun
Posted by Frank J. at 04:40 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (14)

I got this automated phone call the other day from the police warning that there have been a number of nighttime break-ins in the area, so I immediately though, "Hey, I need a shotgun."

So I went to Wal-Mart today and bought a nice 12-gauge pump action (my first ever gun purchase; my dad had given me all the handguns I own), but boy was that a hassle, made only a little bit easier since I have a CCW. I didn't think that had to do background check for shotguns, but I guess they do in Florida. At least on the questionnaire it asks if you've ever renounced your U.S. citizenship; nice to see they're keeping lefties from buying firearms.

So, if I hear a strange noise at night, that person is going to be hearing a very familiar sound. Pump action shotguns are cool.

I have a vague recollection of a scene from a movie, two men in a very dark room, long silent pause, then "click-slide-click". Another long pause. Then: "That's one hell of a sound, ain't it, boy?"

Yes. One hell of a sound. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

I hope you never have to use it, but if you do, God help the bastard.

My Aunt Rita just called from Nashville and told me a story about my 92-year-old uncle shooting a squirrel that had gotten into the house through the chimney. The image this creates in my mind is both humorous and chilling.

When I lived in L.A., I found the best way to prevent break-ins was my 120 lb. Rottwieler, Sophie. While my neighbors were being robbed on a daily basis, I could leave for work with my windows wide open.

Once, I even had to sic her on a bum who refused to leave my backyard one morning. I yelled at through the window to stop digging through my trash cans and he said "f-you, I've got a gun."

You should have seen him run when Sophie bounded down the stairs after him. He was lucky that he made it past the gate because Sophie was trained not to leave the yard.

My advice, keep the gun for self-protection, but get a big bad ass dog (professionally trained, of course) to watch your house.

I'm working on the dog option. But then I'll need gun locks to keep him from using them.

Nothing like the sound of A remington 870...Be sure not to make the mistake of using Buck shot as it oftern goes through walls.

We can't have shotties for personal fun here in Australia any more. One sadistic mass-murder and all large guns and all pistols are band. Oh!! The humanity!!!!

#5 - Posted by: Jake D on June 16, 2003 07:19 AM

So what shotgun was it? Details, please.

It better not have been made in China or I'll send you a case of monkeys.

#6 - Posted by: Kim du Toit on June 16, 2003 08:46 AM

It's a Mossberg 500 (has a big sticker on it that says made in USA). Holds six rounds soon as I got that stupid wooden dowel out.

#7 - Posted by: Frank J. on June 16, 2003 08:57 AM

So, if I've already got a Mossberg, does that make me as cool as you?

#8 - Posted by: Trevor on June 17, 2003 11:04 AM

Oh, and it should only take about 10 seconds to get the dowel out. But better to do it now than when some goblin is trying to break into the IMAO mansion.

#9 - Posted by: Trevor on June 17, 2003 11:13 AM

For you ladies, I recommend the Mossberg Bantam model. It's just like the 500 but with a 13" buttstock, 22" barrel and reduced distance between the trigger and grip for your pretty lil' hands!

No single female should be without one! I bought one for my daughter and she loves it!
