... We live in a peaceful, prosperous country ...

What country is that? The country I work in, 13 years olds pull up in the alley, take target practice on the dumpster, then non-chalantly pull out in their stolen car. We had a standing bet 'Walk this block and back for $100 (daylight) - nobody, in three years, ever took that walk. Driving to work, look over - front lawn, one guy on his back three standing over him "M..f..r" Booom!. Better hit the gas, this is not the movies. No CCW in this state. etc., etc.

Now, the country I live in, is 50 miles away, peaceful, prosperous - haven't locked my door in 15 years, Canadian geese on the lake and friendly folks.

BTW, any opinion on the .454 as ursus horriblis deterrence?
