...I can't wait until MS's "Castle Doctrine" passes and nationwide CCW reciprocity would be cool, too. That way my wife can legally draw down on thugs like she did
FOUR times last year at work in a parking lot on her way to her car. She was within sight of the Sheriff's Dept of West Memphis, AK at one of her stores in a bad neighborhood on a main street under a street lamp. She didn't have anyone to escort her to her car, except for Sturm and Ruger.
A girl asked me last week if my wife would have been better served if she had used pepper spray instead. I just said," With pepper spray, you have to use it for the thugs to take you seriously. Then you might have to wait for the cops to take a statement and/or arrest you for assault. With her gun, all she had to do was show it and the thugs were quite apologetic." They said something to the effect of,"Excuse me ma'am, I did not mean to bother you. Have a good night!" The two that didn't immediately run away were quite polite after looking in a .40 hole...
When my rabidly anti-gun(but highly skilled in the bedroom) ex-girlfriend was at home alone one time, Mr. Sturm and Mr. Ruger kept her company when she heard people "casing" my home while I was at work. It's a perfect example of no atheists in a foxhole during an artillery attack.
There are no anti-gunners when bad guys are beating at your door. All cries of "Guns 'r' bad" are replaced by "Where's the extra ammo?"
