but if you need 30 rounds of 45 ACP for home defense you either:
1. have to find a better neighborhood
2. get some more range time
3. buy a more accurate pistol
In LA and MS your car is an extension of your home is it the same in Texas?

I have an opportunity to purchase a 357 Desert Eagle from a friend of mine that has had less than one box of ammo put through it for 700 bucks.
It is stamped with manufactured for the Israel Army, or something like that.

I agree .45 ACP is a great deterence
but if you need 30 rounds of 45 ACP for home defense you either:
1. have to find a better neighborhood
2. get some more range time
3. buy a more accurate pistol

You guys are great, because God knows I'm going to buy a handgun for just about anywhere I can hide it once I'm old enough.
I've only shot an AR-15 and a .45 Desert Eagle before, though. Haven't shot the Ruger yet.
Concealed weapons permit, the way to GO!!!

It seems other use a similar system as I do. 
I love my Springfield Arms model 1911A Corvette Theft Deterrent System. Compact, effective, and the system is very easy to re-arm after it has activated. It also doubles as a home security system as well.
In case any liberals who are confused by the second amendment are trolling the boards, my Vette sleeps indoors. If the goblins come in the garage, they are technically in my home....and it's game on.
But I've always believed that comprehensive coverage with a reputable insurance company is your best defense if it gets taken anywhere else. You get a check for the car's market value and go shopping. Yes, you probably won't get what you think the car is worth, but given C4 values right now, you can buy a replacement car and not get hurt too badly. Maybe even upgrade a bit.

Learn all you can about your weapon, keep it clean and oiled, take a course and get your concealed carry permit, practice often, learn the laws regarding its use.
Be safe and happy.
PS....firearms are quite addictive. We all started with just one.
