While this may or may not be true (I don't know Joe's background &
training), he is hardly likely to find any real pros, such as SEALs, FBI
SWAT, etc., committing piracy. Most perp'ing these kinds of crimes are
stupid addicts weakened by their habits (Smart crooks become politicians and
pass anti-gun laws to protect their less intellegent brethern). This gives
Joe an edge. When two young men broke into an elderly (80s) man's home
recently the geezer shot one of them to death with his own gun then chased
the other away. But you'll not read that one in the N.Y. Times or Washington
Compost.
