DU gun owners " Have you ever felt under gunned carrying less than ten rounds in a mag

[The Straight Story]

32. Had a 13 round hand gun when I was a security officer

Funny thing is, I didn't kill anyone and I am the same person now I was then (and as when I was a deputy).

The place I was doing security work at was an abandoned apartment complex, one of our guards had been shot out and there was a body found in the dumpster the week before.

13 rounds is not much when you are all alone in a place and you have drug dealers, etc wandering about. 5 or 6 of them, you miss some shots.....

Several weeks ago here we live we had over 20 people at one house, a mini-riot. The cops took forever to show up and if those people had come down 3 doors no idea what we would have done. One friend (whose house they were at) was bitten and beaten up.

We call the cops time after time - and no one is ever arrested (no one was that night, even though we had multiple cop cars here, ambulances, etc).

I don't own a gun now, and would not have used it that night if I did unless they came down our way. But I sure as hell would liked to have had one if things had went bad for us. And have enough rounds.

If you rely only on cops/govt to protect you don't be surprised when they fail.
