This is why guns are needed for home protection (education, rifle, percent)

How do you think gold medalists do it?

They work at it, that's how.

I'm going to assume from your other posts that if a car hits you head on you'll karate chop it before it can hurt you?

Necessary depends on the situation. If the assailant is wearing body armor then AP rounds are good. Semi-auto or revolver is a matter of personal preference. I like semi-autos for increased capacity in case I panic and miss in the beginning of the encounter.

And with little practice and a lot of mind altering drugs you can do the same

True armor piercing rounds like a .50 BMG that will punch a hole through a tank are military only. They are not available to citizens. Body armor piercing bullets (aka cop killers) are a different story. GunCite-Gun Control: "Cop-killer" Bullets

Absolutely. The majority of my collection are semi-auto with the exception of a few revolvers, a couple of breach load shotguns and a lever action rifle. I want as many rounds as I can easily carry. The now infamous 33 round Glock magazine is not very useful outside of target practice. It makes concealed carry impossible.

Century Arms CARI1189X Cen CETME SA SPTR 308 16.5 20

and....

I believe you are mistaken on what a semi auto weapon is....

Also, please give your definition of armor piercing.....do a little research before you post back and you maybe surprised....

Your arguments are getting weak....

Some people are just unable to be "Chuck Norris."

Solution to problem......sign up with ADT home security....when the alarm goes off....wait 30 to 45 minutes for the cops to get there.

And no one HAS to be "Chuck Norris". They just have to apply themselves to their own self defense. The problem is that you immediately go to an extreme, when the extreme isn't necessary at all.

If you apply yourself, you can do anything.

Uh, no, I'll pay attention and move the hell out of its way.

Try that some time.
