I am in PA so we don't yet need a permit to buy ammo as is required
in
the PR of NY and PR of NJ. Why do you folks keep on hiring
politicians
who think that way?

Because the thought of someone opening fire in a subway because he got
brushed the wrong way is far too scary. We actually have cops that do
a good job of keeping us safe.

So you are satisfied with a cop keeping you safe?


What cops? I haven't seen any cops hanging out in my house all night
while
I
sleep. :-) We can barely get them to drive through my neighborhood once
each night. They say they're afraid of the owls.



Joe, I suspect you will die of some other cause and never have to
shoot some mugger.


Probably, but I was happy I had it one day when two dogs came within a
forbidden distance from my son and began acting in ways I do not allow.
That
ended well, although unfortunately, the dogs did not end up being shot.

By the way, "mugger" is not the correct term for someone breaking into a
house while the occupants are home. The correct word is "thing". When
someone does that, they are automatically relinquishing their status as
humans.


The correct term for a person who broke into your house is "A person
presenting an imminent threat of bodily harm while committing a
forcible felony". Getting that description straight will make your
conversation with the police go easier. You probably won't even have
to go downtown to fill out the report. (if you live in a castle state)


We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. When I'm threatened at that
level, the human will instantly be viewed as a thing, no different from a
paper target at the gun range. Hey - call me cold, but that's what has to
happen sometimes.
