(14,933 posts)No, I don't see any realistic scenario where I would need more than 6 shots for home defense. Well, I can see two, I suppose. 1 involves shooting irresponsibly. And the other involves an army invading my home.
What are the numbers on full on roving gangs of 10+ people breaking into homes? And then, what are the numbers on a single armed person stopping them? I'm pretty sure at the point you have enough attackers in your home to need 19 shots, you are in a spot where you will need far more than a 19 shot magazine. Unless you think they are going to stand in a row and get hit, your in deeper trouble than your gun can get you out of.
As to police, in theory they put themselves into situations where they are more likely to be in a dangerous scenario. But even there, I find it somewhat troubling. I wouldn't be overly upset if the levels of police weaponry were reduced as well. As recent history has shown, they are fairly dangerous to the public at large as well.
