Dangerous things they are. Reminds me of the old quote: Never strike a caddie with the driver. The sand wedge is far more effective.<br /><br />Jacqueline, the Ruger 22 is also a personal favorite. Although the 357 is very impressive too. A bit too much of a recoil though. <br /><br />J. H.

Interesting weapon that. <br /><br />I am currently starting a murder mystery and since I don't quite know what weapon of choice my MC would use, I can't say at this point. Personally, I loved carrying my father's old Ruger 22 SLR under the front seat of my car when I drove across the US; he wanted me to be safe and I definitely know how to use one. The other gun I might be tempted to use in the story would be my father's 357 Colt Python, just not sure yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the post and for some interesting things to think about; came just in time. Love all the other comments, too.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037261003957874781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-52914718309722658512012-11-15T14:50:28.762-08:002012-11-15T14:50:28.762-08:00I've used guns, knives, poison, and in my late...I've used guns, knives, poison, and in my latest, fire. My favorite weapon, by far, has been a golf club. It just felt so satisfying, somehow. Maybe because my husband plays golf and would like me to learn.Gayle Carlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783449240138097315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-654217261174395982012-11-15T13:04:02.406-08:002012-11-15T13:04:02.406-08:00I love the creativity behind choosing a murder wea...I love the creativity behind choosing a murder weapon. And I LOVED clue as a kid! I even wrote a book that has a live version of clue, but am not sure about the copyright of such a thing and so I sort of let it languish in my files. I should do some research and dust it off. :) <br /><br />AngelaAngela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-4057878120734751382012-11-15T11:17:29.790-08:002012-11-15T11:17:29.790-08:00Some awesome choices listed here.

I really can't go into any more detail without giving away the plot. <br /><br />Marylin, I remember those rods. Ouch!<br /><br />Dani, wonderful. I like poisoning too. <br /><br />Peg, you're right. Ice bullets and intravenous air is dangerous. While in the Boy Scouts I took some First Aid training. We were taught how to inject intravenously and the nurse pointed out, several times, about pushing all the air out with the plunger.<br /><br />Jodie, Very nice compliment. Thank you! J. H.

An earlier incarnation of THE MISSINGS called for succinylcholine, but I dropped it from the story line when I completely rewrote the manuscript. I might save that for another time.<br /><br />Alway intriguing (but I'm not sure how practical) are bullets made of ice and the injection of air into a vein.<br /><br />I have a gun-guy who I run those weapons by to make sure I don't do something stupid thereby calling into question every other element of my story.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-70123575294483297312012-11-15T09:20:10.237-08:002012-11-15T09:20:10.237-08:00I'm into herbology so poisoning is a good weap...I'm into herbology so poisoning is a good weapon for me. It's said to be a woman's weapon so all the more reason to use it in an unexpected way! I also like the idea of no weapon - like pressure point to stop somebody's heart. I'm kinda creepy, huh? :DDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-73452381827107216072012-11-15T09:14:37.955-08:002012-11-15T09:14:37.955-08:00Great post!

I found an even more interesting weapon for the one I'm writing now, but I can't mention it without giving the story away. L.J.
