| Otis Da HousKat:
Issues of government tyranny and standing militias aside, I am pro-gun and firmly in the, "When seconds count police are minutes away," camp. I feel like most people's dads don't start hanging out with a bunch of illiterate tweakers who come busting into your house for a quick score because they know he carries a lot of cash on hand, but if they did trust me you'd be glad to have a shotgun on hand. |

Pistols, as fun as they are to shoot, are designated "sidearms" for a reason. Not to mention handguns have steeper learning curve and are in some cases even easier to disarm than carbines |

Sure, they have a steeper learning curve and are easier to disarm in some cases, but a civilian should know their weapon inside and out anyways, and if someone is close enough to disarm you you are probably dead regardless. Do civilians need a more malleable weapon? Do civilians need more ensured stopping power since the goal should be incapacitation, not necessarily death? |
