The armed homeowner

Here's a video of a citizen in Tucson defending himself against four home invaders - note that the first assailant seems to be carrying an "assault" rifle with a high capacity magazine. Yet there are those in government who think a five or six-shot revolver is all the protection you need.

Perhaps Sheriff Joe could explain to to us proles just how a double barreled shotgun would be used in a situation such as this, hmmmmmm?

I'd love to see how Feinstein and Biden would fare if they had to use a gun because their bodyguards weren't right there. The after incident inquiry wouldn't be much help to them...I'm betting.

Ask the next gun-free zoner if they would be willing to post a sign to that effect in their yard or window at home. They will be proud to do it, but refuse to allow you to deliver it. James O'Keefe is so creative.

I'd say the guy was lucky the bad guys just turned and ran...like the cowards they are.

But, if had a reason to believe that the bads guys were gonna harm me, I would take that chance, too.

But, if I had a reason...proofreading, it's a good thing...

To follow up. It happened Feb 2009 and by April they had caught 3 of them and the fourth was arrested in and brought back from Mexico in Jan 2011

Yet there are those in government who think a five or six-shot revolver is all the protection you need.

Yet there are those in government who think if he were unarmed (because he might accidentally hurt himself or they'll just take his gun away from him and use it against him) and if he'd just given the 4 armed thugs whatever they wanted and put himself at their mercy then the thugs would have no longer felt socially excluded and then they'd turn over a new leaf and become productive members of society.

Colonel: Yes, that's a far more accurate view of what liberals really think.
