That woman deserved it just because her husband wore a moronic shirt.

Well, a Desert Eagle definitely isn't right for home defense. What is needed is an M60.
240B replaced M60 few years ago. What this guy really needs is a tesla coil with motion detector on his roof. He could easily disguise it as a TV antannea. Then, a .50 cal on both apexes of his home at the windows (careful not to flag), then, you need a steel room that you can retreat to, with a Mk19 pointed at the chokepoint, and a big red button in case they manage to penetrate all those defenses.
Oh, and remember to bring your gas mask. (And anthrax aint that bad, I'm immune to it, get white phosphorus)

Not required to take one by law to purchase a gun; I did state I would attend one voluntarily.
M911 does sound like a good choice. My purchase of a desert eagle isn't set in stone, I'm still a tad bit shocked at the price of one.

You may want to even just get a standard 9mm. See how you like it. Take into consideration things like: Do I use this for protection AND for sport? Or just for protection? 1,600 is a lot to dish out to realize 3 months down the road that it just sits in your closet because 1$ a round is just ridiculous to shoot for fun.

roffle, I can definitely see that happen.

Possibly a bunch of other people already said this, but I'm gonna say it again anyway:
Take the safety classes. Just trust us on this one.
And, whether or not you follow the above advice, always keep in mind the two cardinal rules of gun safety:
#1: A gun is ALWAYS loaded. If you think it's not loaded, you're wrong. If you're SURE it's not loaded, you're REALLY wrong. Always assume it's loaded, and treat it as such.
#2: Never point the business end at anybody you don't intend to kill.

I think someday I'll get myself a gun. Pistol of some type, no desert eagle though.
My advice: Always remember that Russian roulette and semi-autos don't go well together.

Actually...I have a bow but not a gun in apartment right now. Wonder what a burglar would think if I pointed that at him.
As for the castle doctrine, in North Dakota, we not only have Stand Your Ground laws when faced with personal danger anywhere, or property crime in your house, but deadly force is authorized if we believe we are in danger, even if it isn't the intent of the bad guy, even if he isn't armed. Real men indeed, and we have a very low crime rate.

You know, I actually think Jeb Bush passed a similar law like that in Florida before his term was over. I remember the media criticizing the hell out of it.

Come now, go Hitman style. Twin .45's.
If you want a true hand cannon, go for the S&W 500 Magnum. If you don't hit him, you'll definitely make him crap his pants

Anything to bash a Bush, right?
Look bub, the measure was VOTED on and won by a landslide. If Jeb had vetoed it, there would have been riots. The liberal media had their time to vote, and they had their time to complain. Who cares? If they criticized it, as you claim, they were not representing the majority of voters. Do you mean puffington criticized it?

The problem with a 1911 is single action only. I recommed a medium or small framed .357 with glasers for home defense (double action) and the 1911 for the range (of course, the .357 too... mostly wth .38 rounds).
Anyway, that's what I had when I kept handguns after I read a 5-foot stack of magazines and considering my own experience.

I recommend a Knex Machine Gun. I have one under my bed and nobody has dared try to rob us yet. 
I also have a Knex Sniper Rifle, but I won't use that unless my house is under siege.

...what the hell? I support it; hell, I'm even a Republican. Not sure if you misunderstood "the media criticizing the hell out of it" as "me criticizing the hell out of it."

1) Jeb Bush was not responsible for the bill.
2) It was not criticized by Florida media. Only liberal hack sites went after the measure that was passed by a vast majority of voters.
It sure sounded like you were implying the bill was Bush's (Jeb) responsibility and that it was unpopular. If you didn't mean it to sound like that, my bad.
Now, about those criticisms. Citation? Hint: It was a VERY popular bill, only political hacks went after it.

I vaguely remembered it on TV. I forgot what channel it was but I remember a bunch of people in front of a reporter with signs protesting the passing of the bill.
Better yet, attend the CCW class prior to purchasing your first pistol. Reason being, the instructor will generally bring several pistols, and you'll likely have an opportunity to fire them which will help you make up your mind. And better still, you'll get an experienced view in what sort of pistol is most appropriate to the use you have in mind. Which brings up the question: What use(s) do you have in mind?
I personally use a S&W Model 625 .45ACP revolver with Glaser ammo (first chamber empty) for nightstand use. Revolvers are far less prone to malfunctions, are double-action by default, no safeties to forget about, and jam clearance is pretty much "pull the trigger again". On the other hand, my CCW pistol is a Kel-Tec P3AT .380ACP - smallest/lightest 6-round semiauto I've seen in an adequate caliber, which is important because I carry it a lot more than I'd carry a full-size 1911 .45ACP pistol, and any gun you have with you is infinitely more effective than the one you left home in the safe.
And
#3: Keep your finger off the trigger until you've decided to fire.
#4: Be certain of what your target is, and what your bullets will hit around/behind/beyond your target.
How is this threadjacking?
What is this thread about?
You expect people to say "Congratulations" and move on?
Some people support your decision, some don't, both make their arguments heard.
