I wouldn't carry a gun around just to have at home and to go practice with. I'll carry knives as they are easier to replace than a gun. I'm afraid I'll loose a gun or something worse. To be honest I've been cut enough over the years that a little spilled blood probably won't bother me. (Edit: Accidents. Don't go thinking I'm bragging about being a knife fighting wiz or something. Just at this point getting cut doesn't seem that bad anymore.)
Did any body watch the Pistol episode of "Lock and Load" with R. Lee Ermy? They fired different caliber pistols at blocks of balistics gel. The things were about 2.5 to 3 feet long. He test fired a DE at the block and it knocked him on his butt as well as flipping the block of gel over.
Then they fired the Rhino gun. Ermy said he felt it in his bones.
