Violence against domestic animals is a textbook indicator of psychopathy & sociopathy.  So yeah maybe you're not fundamentally a bad person, you're just mentally way messed up, either because you were born that way(psychopathy) or you experienced some sort of severe trauma or neglect(sociopathy).

except your parents don't keep a pet deer and lavish it with love and affection and consider it part of the extended family unit.

Why not get to know the dog, it can be rewarding looking after someone/something more vulnerable than you.

I think Mac just realises his parents love and care for the dog much more than do him.

A man was stabbed to death in Manhattan last night. The killer used a gladius. A short roman sword. I found that novel

Last week I finally got my first pistol: a Glock 23 Gen 4 in .40 S&W

I also found a guy in Nebraska who's willing to buy & fix my broken 870 but trying to figure out what I need to do to ship a gun and seeing how much it costs is all making my head spin.

Why would you want a broken shotgun?

I have accepted to just let the dog live and learn to like him. Getting a gun permit in NJ is too much work.

I don't get why people like 1911's so much. Every time I have shot one, I have been annoyed by the amount of recoil it has compared to a 9mm. I don't see how it is fun to shoot or a good choice for personal/home protection.

Pretty much that, 9mm goes a lot faster so it does better against body armor but unless you're some kind of VIP, nobody who can afford body armor is going to be breaking into your house, some people still prefer having more bullets in a magazine though.  .45 goes slower but makes big holes in people and because almost all factory .45 loads are subsonic, they work very well with suppressors, and some people will really go to that length for home defense so they don't have something that gives them hearing damage when something goes bump in the night and they can't reach for ear-pro.

1911s in particular have a few small quirks though that don't lend themselves to home defense.  They don't always feed hollowpoints well unless the barrel is modernized with a different ramp, and hollowpoints are more ideal for home defense because they do more soft tissue damage and are less likely to overpenetrate.  I've read that they don't like being fired at 90 or sometimes even 45-degree angles, it causes jamming and if you're firing around a corner this could potentially be a problem.  And the standard mags, because they're single-stack, are only 8 rounds, whereas a Glock 21(full-sized .45 Glock) will hold 13 in a standard magazine, a USP 45 will hold 12, a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 will hold 10, and so on.  You don't need a lot of .45s for a single guy unless you're a bad shot and/or he's a bigger guy but if you have a few armed people at once in your house, you'll want all the bullets you can get in a single mag.

Makes me think about switching to a Glock 21 for HD when I eventually have to move into a shitty area because I can't afford to live anywhere else in this state.
