Neighbors to the rescue.
In a California neighborhood, a woman was attacked by three large dogs. Neighbors came out and shot the dogs.

Some things we learn from this:
- Shot placement is everything.
- Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap, life is not.
- "High capacity" magazines do not create killers. They do allow you to shoot enough to defend yourself.
- Learn to clear malfunctions.
- Select a firearm that is less likely to malfunction.
- Select the largest caliber you can carry and handle. (the largest dog was shot in the head with a .380, and was later destroyed - meaning it did not die from the gunshot!)
- Neighbors with guns are really convenient.
- Having your own gun is priceless.
- In a fight, a club is better than no weapon. A blade is better than a club. A pistol is better than a blade. A rifle is far better than a pistol. Heavy ordnance is better than a rifle.

You could have just written like this:
ReplyDeleteno weapon < club < blade < pistol < rifle < heavy ordnance
Agreed. With one change:
ReplyDeleteno weapon < club < blade < pistol <<< rifle <<<<< heavy ordnance.
I don't know who coined the term, but it's fitting: "Peace through superior firepower."
