<<It's tough maneuvering a long-barrelled rifle in a house.>> And the boolets make holes in the walls after going through an intruder. I used to and still do, keep a Dirty Harry .44 magnum in my nightstand drawer. That's my back up pistole. My go to home protection is a side by side double barrel sawed off 12ga shotgun loaded with #2 steel. No buckshot, into the body, not out the back into the wall. At ranges of 25' or less, popcorn is a killer loaded into a 12ga shell.

"Do you propose that ALL law enforcement be handed over to the cops? How many will it take? Do we WANT that many Big Brother in our neighborhoods?" The same law enforcement agencies that try to convince the average citizen that they do not need to protect themselves, "That's what we are her for...", take the other position within the court system. The Supreme Court has repeatably upheld that the police are not responsible for protecting the individual. They are protecting 'the community' as a whole, not the individual pieces. When you call 911 in the middle of the night because someone is breaking through your kitchen door and they take an hour to respond, your family has no recourse. Ira
