Welcome!
So, you do
not own a gun right now or you are new to owning a firearm.
You are interested in guns or you would not be here. Let's
move past the whys and address some validation of your thoughts
about gun ownership and home-defense.
What is the
main principal of home defense?
The
main principal of home defense is to protect your family and
loved ones through superior force.
An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure. When camping, put you food
in high places. Likewise, put yourself and your family in high
places. Be smart about preventing criminal intrusion. But in
the rare event a bear walks into your camp… it may be best to
play dead/hide. Proper training will tell you that if you can
avoid the situation or leave the situation, it is best; however,
when that bear starts to maul and eat your children, you had
best have the correct firepower and tools to take care of your
intruder.

final end…)

What is a
Glock handgun?
Glock had
gun is a light weight, highly reliable, highly effective hand
gun that is easy to use.
"GLOCK was founded by Mr. Gaston Glock, an engineer, in 1963 in Deutsch-Wagram,
near Vienna to specialize in the manufacture of plastic and steel
components. GLOCK quickly realized the desirability of combining plastic
and steel, particularly for military products, and began to supply the
Austrian Army with machine gun belts, practice hand grenades, plastic
clips, field knives and entrenching tools.
In the early 1980s, the Austrian military decided
to acquire a new duty pistol asking numerous famous local and
foreign weapon manufacturers for their bids. Due to GLOCK's
excellent reputation with previous military contracts, GLOCK was
also invited to bid on this new contract. This was a new
challenge for the company, since pistols were not in its product
line at that time. However, the fact that GLOCK was a newcomer
to this field turned out to be an advantage. In this way, GLOCK
was able to develop a revolutionary new product according to the
customer's needs, rather than modify an already existing
product.
The result was a breakthrough in firearms
technology. With its polymer frame, the GLOCK pistol was
considerably light in weight had the highest magazine capacity
of any other pistol in its class. The pistol did not have any
external safety lever, hammer, decocker, or any other operation
controls which must be deactivated prior to making the weapon
ready to shoot. In this way, the pistol was faster, simpler and
safer to use than any other pistol. The new pistol concept
allowed the shooter to concentrate on tactical considerations,
rather than manipulation of levers or hammers on the pistol."
