"And if someone you don't know walks around near your home, you promise to ask first and shoot later?" People do "walk around near my home" all the time, because I have an un-fenced yard in a block of fenced yards, and live in the middle of the block. People often use my yard as a short cut. I haven't felt any urge to shoot them, or even tell them to "get off my lawn". You project a LOT!

He owns what antigun folks call an "assault rifle" ... one that was used at Columbine. Plus a shotgun with sawed stock and barely legal barrel, rigged to carry under a coat on a sling. But they never leave his house. Ha ha ha.

Looks cool, but I just bought an old Savage 12ga pump and sawed off the barrel and stock. Just the racking sound is scary! I tried it out on some 1 gallon plastic milk bottles filled with water - they EXPLODED! 00 buck

It's the legal absolute minimum length. It was a goose gun and had a barrel 10 miles long. I've got it on a shoulder sling. It's real easy to carry under a coat concealed.

What is at that link?

Hi-Point Carbine....Developed during the now-defunct 1994 Federal assault weapons ban, the Hi-Point carbine comes with a ten-round magazine that fits into the pistol grip. With the expiration of the federal assault weapons ban in 2004, aftermarket fifteen-round magazines are now also available in most states.
....
The Hi Point Carbine has since been designated an "assault weapon" in the State of Connecticut with the April 4th, 2013 signing of Public Act 13-3
...
Hi-Point has developed a strong following despite the 'ugliness' of their products. A frequently heard epithet refers to the original Hi-Point configuration as "that Planet of the Apes gun." Their guns consistently score high in evaluations run by Gun Tests Magazine. [7] All Hi-Point firearms include a lifetime "no questions asked" warranty that transfers to anyone who purchases a used Hi-Point firearm. [8]

Hi-Point 995 with stock from Advanced Technology, Inc and 15 round magazine.

The Hi-Point Carbine became more widely known after the Columbine High School massacre. Eric Harris, one of the two shooters, used a Model 995 during the shooting.
