Don't believe in guns but I want something that would cause a second thought in someone's mind when breaking in but without hurting anyone one. Had a few break-ins in my apt. bldg.. Perhaps a dart that can knock a person out for a few minutes.
thanks--

Sounds expensive, why not a crossbow? You can get those for anout 8 dollars in some cases, here's a link! While not a gun, they are still not dart guns and can quite easialy kill a person, but I don't know where you'd find a dartgun! These are pistol crossbows, that is they are not as powerful as the ones that look like a rifle, but are still powerful, depending on which draw weight you get! (obviously a 90 lb crossbow is much more powerful than a 40 lb. crossbow!)

A dart gun is a bad idea. A Taser might do the trick, as the electrical impulses effect your target immediately, but a tranquilizer dart is going to take at least a little bit to take effect. Imagine a horse or other animal getting hit with a tranquilizer. You're not going to be able to get a tranquilizer as strong as those ones, if you can get any at all. In that time, the intruder is going to be able to do whatever he likes, whether it be stab, beat, or if he has an illegal firearm, shoot you. You'll probably die, and he'll have a good chance at claiming self defense or something and might get off easier had you not shot him. The ABSOLUTELY BEST device I've seen for home defense is the Mossberg 500 HS. It's a .410 shotgun, which is pretty weak compared to shotguns, but still strong enough to take down most intruders that aren't wearing armor. They come with a front and rear pistol grip, heat shield on the barrel so you don't accidently burn yourself after shooting, easily opperated thumb safety and rear slide release, that trademark Ka-Chink! noise, and, for even more intimidation, a bright red laser. The laser, however, is pretty pointless, since it's a 18" barrel with a long spreader choke, and the shot will spread rapidly when it exits the barrel. Using a smaller shot with this will enable you to use it indoors without having to worry about penetrating walls. A good way of keeping anyone from ever thinking about coming in once you get the shotgun is to go to a shooting range and shoot off a couple shots, which you should do anyways, but keep the best targets, and tape them up to your door if it's allowed. If you were a criminal, would you rather break into a place with a poster saying "I support gun control, this house is gun free" or a silhouette target full of holes?
If you really are set on having a dart gun instead of an effective gun, you can always look for a .22 air rifle with animal tranquilizer darts, but you'll be more likely to end up on the news as a corpse than prevent a break in.
Or, like I said before, you can get a Taser, but they're restricted in some areas, and while they'll usually take anyone down, it'll only last for a few minutes, and if the police aren't there yet, they'll be more pissed than a beaver in the desert. I think I've gone on too long, you're probably not going to read all this, but hopefully you do.

if you shot me with a dart gun I would beat you to death before I went to sleep just out of principle. and I'm a nice guy. A burgler would undoubtedly do worse. buy a shotgun, a short one even a .410. A .410 doesn't know it's not a 12 guage doesn't kick like a mule cost 100 bucks won't kill people in the next room and will get rid of that raccoon that tears up your trash. And you'll always be alive in the morning with a safe family.

Yo Bro!
You don't believe in guns so you want a gun that shoots darts! A gun is a gun is a gun no mater what the projectile being "shot" is If someone breaks in my house Ca law states if i shoot an intruder he/she must die inside my house not outside the door. You want to knock a person out for a few minutes? That's just gonna piss them off and won't do you any good. Many states outlaw dart guns or blow guns to anyone. You need to rethink your defense tacticts, get your apt. alarmed or learn to handle a weapon that will STOP intruders.

I'll never understand the mindset of the rabid liberal. I want to shoot someone, but I dont want to use an evil gun. What do you think the bad guy will have in his hand to use on you when your l;ittle dart gun pisses him off? A gun, and not a legal gun like you could own, but an illegal gun.What do you think will happen if no one can legally own a gun anymore. Is any of this sinking in?

Dart gun won't do it....without an anesthetic to knock him out
it's the same as getting a flu shot; just an ouchie.

I would never allow a handgun in my house. I keep the hunting guns locked up. I also keep a war club behind my bed. Noone would ever **** with me when I'm holding that thing!
