Koosh Bullets

Later this year, you will be able to buy rubber bullets for home defense. Lightfield has been selling these projectiles to law enforcement agencies and wildlife officials for years. Each round is filled with a soft projectile that resembles a koosh ball. They look like toys, because they’re made by a Chinese toy factory. The best thing about them is that they aren’t likely to kill someone even if they are fired at point blank range. They’re so soft that they’re almost incapable of penetrating the body.

 

 

If you don't own a nasty old shotgun, I guess you could keep a bag of marshmallows handy and throw them one at a time at the violent home invader while saying "shoo, go away, you vile person!"

 

I'll stick to my original plan: any uninvited guest will be leaving in a body bag and a haz-mat bucket. If that sounds barbaric, just remember that a democratic president is responsible for it. Forty-some years ago LBJ cut off my hair and sent my innocent young butt to Vietnam where a whole bunch of people developed an intense obsession with the idea of killing me. I'm still here and I'm still an expert small-arms marksman.
