re: #489 Rightwingconspirator

Far outweighed? That overstates the numbers. Every gun accident just about gets reported, if perhaps by the doctor. Many, many uses of a gun, without a shot fired go unnoticed by the statisticians. I ran off an attacker with a shotgun. He simply changed his mind about forcing in my door after hearing me yell I would shoot him if he did. He was arrested the next day.

Least favourite sound for a break-in perp to hear is a pump-action shotgun being loaded on the other side of the door.
Chook-chook.
