So she's beautiful, and she jogs in beauty like the night. And
she went a little farther than usual, and she's late so she
takes
a shortcut through the park and its dark.
She notices the two bearded men falling in behind her,
jogging
at the same speed. It is desolate up ahead. She
tries to
outrun them, but shes tired. And alone. And she thinks of
her 4
year old daughter...
They approach, one on each side. She has jogging weights,
that look like small dumbells, one on each hand, each
weighing
two pounds.*
She thinks she can bludgeon at least one of them but she
knows she's outnumbered.
Then she remembers, these aren't just jogging weights...
These
are 9mm automatic revolvers made to look and function as
jogging weights, made by the Donny Boy 2nd Amendment
Company, and imported from China by Trumpster Imports.
She stops, turns, braces herself, takes aim, and BOOM
BOOM!!!
Out Go the Lights.
God bless you Mr Trumpster, and God bess the Second
Amendment.

If I recall right, the original British Pound Sterling was
literally a pound of silver. Possibly a Troy Pound,
though.... |

// 9mm automatic revolvers // |
|
| |
So, a recoil-slide action, like the Webley-Fosbery ? |
|
| |
9mm as in 9mm Parabellum ? That's a rimless round, intended for magazine fed automatics, not revolvers. Rimless rounds are rarely if ever used in revolvers, because of the problem of ejecting the spent cases. |
|
| |
If you really want a 9mm round, you could do worse than the 9.01mm .357 Magnum round. |
|
| |
[+] for the overall idea, however for that sort of close-quarters defence a 20-gauge shotgun round loaded with buckshot has an acceptably deterrent effect. |
|
| |
Why not just carry two Colt Detective Special .38's in covers that lool like jogging weights ? |
|
| |
Plenty of them around at reasonable prices. Only about 700g, loaded. |
|
| |
Most jogging weights are more than a pound; .50 Smith and Wesson revolvers weigh almost exactly 5lbs, loaded. |
|
| |
Running around with one of those in each hand would pretty definitely give robbers, passers-by, and some of the more hi-res geostationary satellites, pause. |

//rimless rounds are rarely, if ever, used in revolvers// |
|
| |
Not never; seems there's a few, modern even : most are loaded/unloaded by clips, and one has little spring detentes to hold the rim. Can't for the life of me figure out why, though. |
|
| |
Reads like an exciting novel. Looking forward to Chapter 2,
with different antagonists. Bun for the idea [+] |
|
| |
// there's a few, modern even // |
|
| |
Yes, we know. That is why we said "rarely", not "never". Please, do try to keep up. |
|
| |
I was hoping they would convert into nunchuku, or
flails, maybe. |

I'm not up to date on my concealed carry rules. Is a gun
considered to be concealed if it is disguised as something
else? |
|
| |
Actually a gun disguised as something else would be good
for killing someone, but not necessarily good for convincing
someone to leave you alone without having to
demonstrate that it actually is a deadly weapon. |
|
| |
Ahh, the everlasting "deterrence" debate |
|
| |
Somebody placed an extremely clever annotation about
willow trees... I'll be darned if it didn't get disappeared. |
