My wife has kept a M67 loaded with 125gr. Nyclads at her side of the bed since I convinced her to retire her Luger 30 years ago. She knows where the Mossberg 835 stays and how to use it.

My mother, who hated guns for as long as I can remember, now keeps a 4 1/2" .32 HE handy. Arthritis makes shooting anything larger problematic, but she manages the .32 Long well enough. She keeps a German Shepherd/Lab cross and an Airedale as backup.

Her mother kept the same .32 HE and a Savage 30-30.

HER mother preferred a Colt Police Positive .32 New Police and a gas pen.
