Lol.

So I landed myself a part time job unloading trucks in a warehouse. Sounds riveting, right? Yeah, those years of military training are finally paying off. The way I see it, though, I'm basically getting paid to workout, lifting heavy shit for a few hours a day. On top of the money I'm getting from the gubmint for going to school, I'm doing quite alright for myself.

Not that anyone asked, but I've started teaching myself Java via YooToob videos and the like. My plan is to make the next Flappy Bird and generate thousands of dollars in revenue through advertising deals.

Not really, but I still want to make a game without the steaming mess that GM is now.

On Tuesday I actually had to go to a class on campus to learn how to make a Cat-5 cable, something I've done hundreds of times before. I'd never met the instructor for that particular course in person and, wow, is she a character. She kept speaking really slowly as she was detailing the ins and outs of fast ethernet and it got to a point where I actually could not listen to her anymore so I just grabbed a bunch of shit from the front table and made a cable while she was running her mouth. This turned out to be a bit of a mistake as she noticed how quickly I finished and asked that I walk around the room to help others. Fuck me, right?

i still ended up leaving 30 minutes early.

And now, onto the best part of my blogs - the gun part! Here's what I plan to buy with my tax return:

2014 CZ P-07

She's a beaut, right?

There are a plenty of other loads viable for home defense.

What do think of birdshot?

Although depending on the intruder, shooting a leg might work just fine.

Don't underestimate the lethality of the leg shot.

I've heard recommendations for .410 "shotgun pistols" for home defense. Although in most situations, just having any sort of gun in-hand is 99% of the battle.

On the other hand, the sound of that alone would probably cause 99% of intruders to shit their pants and flee without any confrontation.

If Americans are to be believed, that's not the case at all.

In most other first world countries, that is the case. :P

As far as the whole double-aught buckshot… well, don't using double-aught buckshot then. There are a plenty of other loads viable for home defense.

My personal opinion is that if you're going to use deadly force, it should be because you, or someone else, is in immediate danger, and you need to stop them immediately. Bird shot doesn't have the stopping power that double-aught would have.
