On Saturday, a .25 in my pocket beat hell out of the 9mm I left sitting on my desk at home.

Good to hear nobody got hurt and a crime was prevented.

Note that it was Starbucks coffee that was used as the improvised defensive weapon.
Very fitting that Starbucks should get the honor, as they've been pretty good about not placing restrictions on guns (behind what the law in their various locations might already prohibit).

I hope this thread doesn't digress into whether caffeinated has more stopping power than decaf.

Re: Coffee as a self defense weapon?
Then espresso is like a .50 cal, right?
Unless you wimpied it up with milk and turned it into a latte. Then it's just a .25.

So was the coffee fully loaded (lid off) or half loaded (lid on)?
