An Austin, Texas, city councilman preferred his trusty thutty-thutty to a shotgun. Excessive nose-candy had transmogrified his garden hose into a rattlesnake.
When I read "evil clowns in Wisconsin" I immediately thought of nearby Baraboo, WI which is home to the Circus World museum. Those darn northern WI folks have all the fun; we just have the UW with an old nuclear reactor. Hmm, radioactive clowns...
A 10 gauge loaded with 00 did for the only evil clown I ever knew personally. As I recall the gun was a Belknap hardware single barrel exposed hammer death trap.
A load of buck at contact range tends to be final. I suspect it would take care of the face nipping monk as well.
I say use whatever 12 gauge you feel comfortable with, but make sure you have some slug loads ready to punch into the little car that they will be driving.
3 days a week, Tue thru Thursday, a small armored SUV pulls up in front of the capitol building, and 535 evil clowns spill out and run up the steps, and where are all you shotgun men who are supposed to be defending us?

"Pellets probably hit their windshield," Hillstead said."
Those police spokespersons are getting to be more willing to go out on a limb and say something might be so than ever before. And this wasn't even a statement that "allegedly pellets probably hit their windshield" either!
stay safe.
wv = cargo. not if pellets really, truely hit the windshield.
Shotguns for clowns? I thought one was required to use a ginormous two-hand cannon-like revolver that has the flag pop out saying "BANG!" for clowns.
Here in Texas, we are all about "fair chase" and "sporting chance" but of course, some here have been known to compost stray coyotes with a laser-sighted .380 rather while jogging while others have staked out a shooting range from the bell tower on a college campus, so really anything goes.
TW: sarfel. As in the southern pronunciation of sorrowful, which is what a clown gets when shot with a shotgun.
Well, if it's evil clowns, I'd expect that they'd be coming at you in a VW, and there'd be 16 of them packed in there, 'cuz that's how they do that sort of thing.
Soooooo, I'd take something that could be handled, by me, in such a way as to be utterly effective (I'm no Tom Knapp) and easy/quick to reload.
That narrows it down to a SPAS or, and don't dare laugh at this one, an Saiga-12.
Long-time Baraboo resident here. Those aren't evil clowns, just disgruntled from having Madison so darned close to the southeast. I'd be more scared that some other Wisconsinites would dig my corpse up to have their necrophiliac ways with it... (Google the news!)
No, no...evil clowns travel in groups, you need a punt gun to take them down.
I like the idea of a pie, gun though...kind of like those toy guns that shoot those colored disks, maybe? You would get the splatter effect, with the right pie ingredients...
Rem 870 for me. With WI just 13 miles to the north, one can't be too careful about the clowns escaping and coming to attack us. Bad enough with all the clowns to the east in Chi-Town that may migrate our way if something bad happens.
How about a compromise? 2-3/4" shells loaded with custard and a graham cracker wad. Give them pie in the face at 40 yards. Good luck patterning the loads, though.
If nothing else it will be noisy enough that you won't have to hear all their little bells and horns.
One presumes our transient Arizonan sauted the wrong breed of mushroom for breakfast trimmings. Given your more recent penchant for abstract dining of late Young Lady, perhaps more emphasis should go into the source of the repast then the target profile that emerges after? :)
Rule 5: Always be sure your target actually exists, and isn't just a product of your chemically altered consciousness.
ReplyDeleteRule 6: When it doubt, stop shooting at the terrified family members fleeing your insane rampage.
Mossy 500. That way if you gotta toss it and split, not a huge loss
ReplyDeleteMoney quote: "He was not in touch with reality."
ReplyDeleteHistorically, of course, Wisconsin has been the some of some of your most insidious evil clowns.
Plus, always remember to double tap. Especially with evil zombie clowns.
D.W. Drang,
ReplyDeleteIt was not just the money quote, it was easily the most elegantly laconic understatement I've seen in months.
I roffled at that, too.
ReplyDeleteJim
Mossy 590 with M7 Bayo fixed. Best darn shotgun for just about any aplication. Maybe not goose hunting....
ReplyDeleteWell, we have been known to eat people around here...
ReplyDeleteBrowning Auto-5 in 20" barrel, extended tube, riot formation. 9-shots of 2 3/4" 12-gauge. Perfect for evil clowns.

You need one of those shotguns from the movies where they rack it 4-5 times to sound menacing before ever firing a shot.
ReplyDeleteShow those clowns you aint afraid of them!
"No one was injured in the incident. " - Hat's off to the PD for stepping up and ending this without bloodshed.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my 870 with 00 handy just in case they decide to cross the river!

Og, a Maverick 88 will save you about a C-note, since it's their economy model(read: non-union factory in Texas). Less crying.
ReplyDeleteWV: cropho- those corporate farmers getting paid to NOT grow food, so as to drive up the market price!
I say use whatever 12 gauge you feel comfortable with, but make sure you have some slug loads ready to punch into the little car that they will be driving.
ReplyDeleteFor clowns? One of those old bolt-action Mossbergs with a 34" barrel and a Poly-Choke. Paint the whole thing pink, with purple daisies.
ReplyDeleteClowns in Wisconsin? I didn't think Al Franken could find his way out of Minnesota.
Rem 870 w/ mag tube extension in case a bunch of clown-operators all come piling out of their little tactical-assault car.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with 8 shot. I want to see the clowns suffer.

Take off and nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
ReplyDeleteFailing that, I suggest using fire in some form to make sure they don't regenerate.

ReplyDeleteUSGI Remington 870Mk1, OO buck, bayonet affixed.
I'm not sure a shotgun would work.
ReplyDeleteI think something involving a pie, probably.

ReplyDeleteSee if you can find the old arcade game called Carnevil for practice.
ReplyDeleteAw crap,
ReplyDeleteI thought this could happen...been sleepless and don't have my crap in order, now I'm clown food.
Rats almighty...It's my own fault.
