Jack, please explain why we need battlefield weapons in a civilian

That's simple. Because the criminals are armed with battlefield
weapons. Don't know about you, but I think it's stupid to take
my 66 year-old fists to a gunfight.

How many times do you need to shoot that beautiful deer before you
drag it to the sausage maker?


Deer don't shoot back. Criminals, including terrorists do, and
sometimes with fully automatic weapons. The criminals obviously
want the ordinary citizens to be disarmed. But why should you
want exactly the same thing as the criminals?

Did you know that the crime rate is falling in the concealed-carry
states? Did you know that a majority of states are concealed-carry
states? If you were a criminal, would you really want to take on
someone who might be packin' a concealed Colt .45?


If I were a criminal, and I thought my victim might be carrying a
concealed Colt .45, I would use a different tactic.

The fear of being on the wrong end of a 12 gauge prevents many burglaries.
I have seen interviews with convicts and also the book "More Guns Less
Crime" that bear this out.
It is my understanding that since the Aussies disarmed themselves they have
paid the price.
In Texas, CHL holders have a lower crime rate than the cops.
The last intruder in my house got a .357 magnum in the face; blew the back
of his head off.
He was a 5 foot timber rattlesnake. I had a model 19 Smith.
