Though too, the instant justice available in armed self defense rather flits through the mind...

Aiming at the groin is a good pistol tactic. If you do the usual sighting mistake and line up with the front sight too high you hit him in the chest or the face. If your bullet goes right where you intended (within a six inch radius, which is about as good as you can expect under the stress of shooting when it counts) means either a broken pelvis which puts a man immobile on the ground right now, or shooting away any chance of him satisfying himself with rape and if the next two or three slugs have to take him in the center of his mass that's about one dollar's price for life insurance that just saved yours. Less, if you got a good deal on the ammo. Legally, it's advisable to use factory-loaded ammunition for self-defense shootings as a prosecutor then can't paint you as somebody who makes a hobby out of fixin' to kill people. Though I believe this angle of prosecutorial attack is less popular than it once was; expert witnesses have done a pretty good job of educating juries that there really is no nice bullet -- they all smart.

How about a printing press? That typeface ought to be pretty uncomfy... does italic or German Fraktur hurt worse?
