By Jim Wilson| Shooting Illustrated Verified When I was a kid just about every country home had what we called a “kitchen-door gun.” That was an old .22 rifle or maybe a single-shot .410. It was used to dispatch unwanted critters from the porch or yard. Poisonous snakes would be a good example. Of course, the kitchen-door gun occasionally came into play when dealing with even more dangerous, and bigger, critters. In today’s society, having a long gun safely stored near your external doors is really a good idea.
By Jim Wilson| Shooting Illustrated Verified Recently, I was remembering an old lawman that I used to know who spent years keeping the peace down on the border. He carried a Colt single-action revolver in .38/40, loaded with five cartridges and the hammer down on the empty cylinder for safety. When I asked him about having only five cartridges in a handgun that was slow to reload, he said that if you put five 180-grain slugs where they needed to go, you could reload at your leisure.
