In-Reply-To: your article <1534@jade.BERKELEY.EDU> Article: 10:55 For those of you who are competent to use a handgun for self-defense, you might consider the Glaser Safety Slug. It is EXPENSIVE, about $15/box of 6, but it is VERY EFFECTIVE (and I mean VERY EFFECTIVE) against unarmored human targets. Also, its unique construction prevents accidental penetration through walls. The bullet is designed to break apart upon impact, releasing many small pellets into the target. This is probably the best round to use in a confrontation within the bounds of your home, in terms of lethality for the bad guy and safety to innocent bystanders. (Of course, if the bad guy is wearing body armor, aim for the head.) Jon Kaplowitz cbosgd!erc3ba!jfka
