Sharp as a Marble

I want to know how I can get a scholarship to Thug-U. You know, the school where criminals are trained in the art of disarming gun wielding victims? Because I hear that charge all the time - "If you have a gun, the criminal will simply take it from you and use it on you."

Wow! There must be a pretty intensive course you take on how to disarm people if criminals are that good. Not only must you pass a rigorous hand-eye coordination drill, but I hear the written part is a bitch.

No, the reality is that most of the time the perp is going to see the gun and run.

But "they'll take it from you" is a better sound bite than reality.

I wanna go to Only Wounded-U -- it's an academic (literally) gun-free zone because an itty-bitty-weetle bullet doesn't really do anything to a Powerful Madman...

Then all you need to do is take the thug's gun and use it on him.
It should work both ways.

At Thug-U, they're taught Thug-fu. Didn't you know that?

Gun Advice Question, and sorry for the somewhat off-topic: I really like shooting the Ruger 22-45. But I'm guessing the 22 isn't really a good handgun to keep in your closet to use on intruders, eh? A 22 only slows bad guys down, is the general wisdom?

So assuming that's true, what do you get for a bigger handgun that will stop an advancing thug but that is user-friendly without a ridiculous amount of recoil? Recoil is the main reason I don't just plan to buy a Glock 9mm, although if that turns out to be the best gun under the circumstances I guess I'll just learn to handle the recoil.

When I finally do get a gun, that is. Currently a projected, rather than actual, plan.
