Since I will be out of the office tomorrow I will get my Friday-type OT
posting in today.

I know exactly the emotions Jesse is experiencing with his infant
daughter; I was the same; very protective.  My daughter (whom I raised),
is now 34 and  turned out to be a much nicer person that I had any
reason to expect; she is a full time wife; mother of two little boys;
works full time; just finished her undergraduate degree (Bachelor of
Applied Science - Business); and is now in graduate school.  The 5-year
old is taking judo classes; the 1-year old looks like he will be built
like a football player.  I never had to get physical with or pull out
out the heavy armaments with any of her boyfriends; she had excellent
judgement in the boys she dated.  A nice kid in my karate class had a
crush on her, he was handsome, intelligent, articulate; so I encouraged
her to go out with him.  After her date she said she had a nice time,
but had absolutely no interest in him.   After that I got out of the
boyfriend picking business.

When out in the desert I carry one of my .357 mags, and my .44 mag.  My
oldest bro prefers my .40 Kahr when we are target shooting.  My
preference, should it ever come to a home invasion situation, would be
my sawed off 12 gauge that is somewhat legal.  I would much prefer that
nobody ever commit suicide by coming into my home uninvited.

while a rifle is good for long-range, the preferred daughter protector
 is one of these bad-boys

as I  read somewhere years ago "the sound of a shotgun round being
jacked into place is the most distinctive sound in the world of
firearms"

and don't forget the camera to take a picture of the perp er a date.
when they ask why you're taking a photo just respond with "I need to
know what you look like when I have to track you down."

I'm sure Mr. Whitaker will be weighing in soon with his
recommendations.
