I regard fugitive Christopher Dorner as a very remote threat, but tonight I will arm myself

31. As long as you know how your firearms operate that is fine.

Some years ago an escapee from prison raped three women in my home town including the wife and daughter of our family physician who lived several blocks away. In addition he abducted two women. The National Guard, Highway Patrol, several sheriff agencies, including several helicopters looked for him for three days. When I came home to visit the second day my mother was sitting in the kitchen with a short barreled single shot 12 gage on the kitchen table. The hammer was pulled back and there was a slug in the chamber sitting on kitchen table pointed at the side door. Her second round was OO buck shot I freaked we put the shotgun up and I thanked God there was no collateral damage. My brother set up our Mothers self defense strategy we had a long talk afterward in that she did not know exactly how this worked.

Stay safe.
