Honestly, do you read the posts here at all?
Kirk: You go ahead and protect yourself and your signifcant loved one's using the dialogue technique ala Barack Obama,
When faced with someone in my house who is intent on physical harm to me or my family,
I will rely on my 357 magnum Ruger double action revolver, and
38 calibre Black Talon ammo.
For those in the "know", they "know"
Black Talon means business. This American citizen not in the business of putting smooth air holes in a killer or those committing physical mayhem to me or family, but stopping them, "NOW!".
They mean business, so will I.
Kirk........You call 911, and fend off the armed guy in your house with a cup of coffee. Also ask him to wait for the cops to arrive before making Swiss cheese of you.
More and more police departments are changing their public statements about armed homeowners or private citizens.
Just in Oakland, California a month ago, an armed intruder was killed by a home owner that was armed legally with his own pistol.
The Oakland Police department credited the homeowner on how the situation turned out.
In Ohio, and many states the right to use deadly force to stop an intruder in your home/apartment/etc.. is being welcomed...........Thankfully.
Never the less, there still are a few "Kirks" lobbying in all the governmental branches who think their Mensa quality thought processes, will out smart a knife or gun weilding criminal intent on not being caught.
Kirk........As long as criminals get guns illegally anyway, do you have an answer to give to all the relative's of victims of armed assault in their homes?
So your heart goes out to them...........How sweet........
Just wonder how many of those relatives or even if you could bring back those departed victims, and tell them that they could do without a gun to defend themselves........
Use the old "stupid" people defense.............when using a gun.
You'll find that 99% of legal gun owners are probably of very high intelligence. At least they are smart enough to know that you don't dialogue with a armed "nut-case" whose entered your home with intent to do a crime with no witnesses.
You go ahead and fight them off with words, or a 911 call, and hide in a room and hope they don't find you.
I wanted to make a Darwinian joke right now, but my conscience stops me. Suffice to say, I want to survive, and I want my family to survive too.
You go and throw rocks at the bad guys. Keep a nice pile of them by your bed and each room of your house.
Ooh.......maybe rocks are to assertive? How about bean bags?
