You however William, should make sure you've loaded your black powder

door.

If, God forbid, I went bonkers I wouldn't be a threat to the local
police, never mind a tentacle waving horror from another world.

And I gave up serious archery half a decade ago.

I'm far too old to risk my back doing that these days.

LoL, Oh well then, maybe your staff, or possibly your Indian fighting stick.


Never done the Indian staff fighting thing, although I've watched teh
Bombay Police at lathi drill a couple of times.

Lethal looking stuff.

I have acouple of rapiers about the place, but they're not what you'd
call a realistic weapon against anyone with any firearm made after about
1800...
