My Gunt Rant in Response to a Former FB 'Friend'

67. Lewis and Clark explored the wilderness with a rifle equipped with a 20-round magazine

It wasn't paranoia - it was preparedness.

Living in the city, I have access to very competent city and county law-enforcement agencies that I trust to keep the peace, and our murder rates have been declining over the past few years despite what some would call lax gun regulations. But when I venture out into the middle of nowhere as I am sometimes inclined to do, with the nearest thing resembling a town being half an hour's drive away, some measure of preparedness is in order. You might consider a 30-round magazine "overkill," and for all I know, you could be right. But very few military experts that I know of, if asked, have ever felt that a shotgun would be adequate preparation if they found themselves isolated from civilization and facing uncertain odds. I have to trust that they know of which they speak.

But granted, I see where you're coming from. It's all good.
