What I use for home protection instead of a pistol
Handguns in Michigan are very tightly regulated and the penalty for having an unregistered or unlicensed one (even in your home) is a bitch. And if it turns out to be stolen property then it's a felony with all that entails. So I use this instead. Perfectly legal and no permits from the government are necessary. Packs quite a wallop and just racking it is the best thing for intimidating would-be prowlers.

Americans are alienated from the government! - Wall Street Journal (Peggy Noonan)
