    Lol your debate skills are on par with your comprehension skills, which is on par with your humor. Non-existent. Again, thanks for ruining the thread. Now grow up and stop it.

    You are so welcome. I hope I've made your day. I think you will find that my existence does not revolve around this thread. Can you say the same?

    Daddy this little man is picking on me, tell him to stop.....

    Home defense? Someone would consider that for home defense?

    It is a novelty gun and yes it's better than nothing but with all the options on the table why anyone would pick that as "their gun" is beyond me.

    One of the first rules of gun defense is you don't pull the gun if you don't plan on using it. You don't pull it in hopes of the action closing scares them away.

    Endless better options out there.

    My permit says it's a "Permit to Carry a Concealed Handgun", not AOW.

    I wonder if there would be a problem. I thought most permits say concealed firearms. You are correct, my NH permit is for a handgun, but the Utah permit says firearm.

    Interesting conundrum.

    I've always wanted an Ithaca Auto & Burglar. This thing is pricey though. You can pick up a Leinad for about $200, but no on MD Gun list. I was surprised to find this IFG Howdah is on the approved list. For that kind of money, I'm not impressed at the quality. Look at the porosity and pits in the metal between the two barrels.

    Not to be confused with the ammonium muzzle loading pistol, and has a Manuel extractor..

    Cute, but I'd stick with my Colt New Service in 45LC. Four more cartridges, and it's smaller overall.

    I think the old Ithaca Auto-Burglar was 20 gauge.
