its no secret that im a huge gun fanatic...but in real life when people ask me about a good gun for home protection i always tell them to get a large breed dog..
cause the untrained masses dont know how to use judgment in a gunfight..they dont know how to clear corners..they dont know how to use light...they sure as hell cant judge the angle of a shot in accordance to the backstop of a target...

Yep. Guns are DANGEROUS. People pray and spray and just act completely shocked at the damage they cause. Imagine the average dude with a 30-round AR-15, emptying the gun into his door and wall, while scared shitless. Killing unrelated shit all over the neighborhood.
And a poodle can be just as useful as a large dog for keeping the home safe. Granted, they can't rip people up as badly, but nothing gets past them.
And above all... people do'nt realie you don't HAVE to get into a gunfight most of the time. People think "there's a threat, i have a gun, I guess it's time to start firing". There are MANY ways to end situation without shooting. Would I actually RUN for a punk ass, 120 pound twink with a 2 inch switchblade, 50 feet away, while I'm holding my weapon? You bet your ass I would. AVOID + NEGOTIATE before any kind of shooting. Back off, run, and of course, give the guy verbal encouragement to end the confrontation. I'd look like a total punkass, running from some little twink when I could legally waste his ass with a gun... but heck yes, I'm running and yelling for help and all that. Avoid shooting if possible. Too many people are eager for that shit. "Can I shoot a guy if..." is the WORST question to hear in concealed permit classes.
