Was not sure where to post so here seems good as any as this is a 2 fold post.
Woke up this morning at 3am to my Daschund growling very low at the foot of the bed. I've never heard him do this before. My "normally fearless" boy was scared. Heard some noise coming from the garage and grabbed my "enforcer"..M1 .30 Carbine and went to the garage door. Two jerkoffs jimmied the door and we're trying to wrestle my Bike out of the garage. They scattered when they saw the barrel pointed at them and heard the round chamber. Thankfully the bike dropped onto the side stand.. Lol. A quick stash of the gun and a call to the cops. Never heard back from the cops except to file a report for the insurance folks. Poor dog didn't get brave till they were gone..
Bought a good chain lock first thing.
Main question.. I'm not sure it's even legal to own the .30 let alone use it in self defence. I know a lot of you guys discuss the topic of carry so I'm asking for some advice on a good handgun to own for self defence and be able to carry. I'm familiar with Florida State Laws and have a clean record. I want to be able to protect myself,family,and property. It's an unfortunate fact it's an ugly society these days and way to many seem to think they can just take what they want.. Feel free to PM any info or post here. I did grow up around guns but just never felt the need for one. The carbine was a gift from my father in law.. It was his in WWll and sentimental to me. Thanks guys..
Glad to be alive and not having to fill out stolen bike report.
