...listening to NPR today and they were asking people to call in if they had ever had to pull a gun on someone...guy calls in from florida and says he had a crack-head invade his home...he grabs his assualt weapon and points it at the guy, but he keeps coming...turns out he's some kind of martial arts guru and breaks the home owner's nose and takes his rifle away from him...the home owner comes to hearing the clicking of the rifle which is pointed at his face...apparently, the intruder couldn't figure out how to release the safety...they struggle for a while and home owner ends up with the rifle...three rounds to the belly and one to the head later and the intruder ain't no more...[X(]...home owner claims he would be dead if he was defending himself with a pistol or shotgun...really?...not completely buying that one...
I suppose it's possible. God knows I've struggled often enough with an unfamilar weapon. And I can belive that most people can figure out a shotgun or a revolver (but NOT a semi-auto pistol, I've had more problems with those that I wasn't familar with then any other type..everyone seems different). But do you really want to count of the stupidity of a intruder? [&:]
The lessons here are: always use a defensive weapon that YOU are most familiar with. Never point a weapon at anyone that you don't intend to use on , then use as intended.
