Do you have any "mouse guns"?

Do you have any "mouse guns" or pocket pistols? What kind? What do you think of them?

I have got some mouse traps.

No good for shooting mice.

I have two cats...

I have got a cat. Trouble is she catches mice outside and brings them in through her cat flap.

Something like these might have been carried and used by certain people for protection or for loosing their money playing a game of cards. From what I understand these mini guns were not reliable nor effective even at close range.

Another name for them is "parlor pistol"

Really? Even at very close range?

That's a shame.

Not if you're the mouse with the thing pointing at you.
In that case it is a very happy thing.

That's what I gathered from Rick on an episode of Pawn Stars when a person brought in a parlor pistol and they went into a bit of history on them. Saloon ladies sometimes carried them too. Maybe depending on the model and the condition of the ballistics or powder used, would do some damage at very close range, but keep in mind these were small, and the load of the discharge would be proportionate to the size of the gun, and free aiming isn't like a scope and bench at a range with a high powered rifle.

Too small for taking down a raging elephant.

I know several ladies who do or did carry them before concealed carry was legal - or in states where it still isn't.

If someone's close enough to touch, I'm sure it would do some damage, but not enough to be a reliable self-defense weapon. Better than teeth and fingernails, though.
