#2 Armed legislators... a fine old American tradition. Has anyone else noted that ever since dueling was outlawed, the level of civil discourse has deteriorated?

#3 Really light weapon with pretty good stopping power. 1-2 taps ought to put someone out of commission. May not be the best for a crowd of feral yutes, though. Takes too long to reload.

Has a stiffer trigger pull out of the box than I prefer, but that could be modified.

#4 Revolvers are fine and the mechanism is simplicity itself so low probability of FTF or such. That being said, I prefer my Sig p226 in .40 with a spare mag although it is a bit heavy.

#5 Ms. Chase sounds like my kind of gal.
