Isn't it ironic that this is the same person who the gun grabbers tell us to call for help instead of carrying a gun.

They don't have the courage of their convictions.

No. My wife hasn't shot anyone yet and she gets road rage pretty bad.

Just think, your actions, may get you killed.... You are going to be nice and respectful to everyone.

I wouldn't have opened the door in the middle of the night, either.
But I'm not a cop.

Two reports from the media in a thread that shows how the anti-gunners are off in their demands and thinking. They say you don't need a 15 shot magazine, according to the anti's in New York you only need 7. But when 3 or 4 armed thugs bust through your door against just you, not having enough firepower could cost your life but Biden says you only need a 2 shot double barrel shotgun to protect yourself....

It also shows you can't count on the cops.

However while a armed home invasion can happen by chance, more likely the thugs new something about the house or people that made them target.

I just saw a similar story on I think it was 20/20 last weekend. A truck w/I think 3 teens in it pulled out in front of another truck. That truck had a married couple w/a kid in it. That truck ended up following the teens for I think it was 30 miles or so & when the teens pulled up in front of one of their houses, the guy followed. He go out of his truck, confronted the teens in their truck & then punched the driver thru the window. Two of the teens got out & started hitting him. The wife in the other truck got out their gun they had & handed it to her husband who proceeded to point it at the teens & the gun discharged, but it didn't hit anyone. The idiot couple, WITH THE KID IN THE TRUCK STILL BY THE WAY, left but then circled back & shot at the truck that was in the driveway still. I believe they're now in jail. Effing morons who can't control their temper made worse by the presence of a gun.

Got to watch out for thinking I'm the good guy and everyone else out there is scum except for the people I know.
Most gun deaths happen between people who know each other.
