wrote: In article , says... My primary interest is defense at this point and that will be inside 7 yards. It will also be a situation where pinpoint accuracy is not as important as getting rounds on target as fast as you can from the retention position. A case of paranoia there. Pretty common among gun nuts. Do you carry a spare tire in your car? Is that paranoia too? |

Since the steel belted radial tire? A couple. Considering I was driving 50,000 miles a year, it was a very rare to almost non-existent event in the last 45 years, yet I still carried a spare, a jack and a decent lug wrench. I guess I was paranoid about that too. The EPA says that every extra 100 pounds you add to a car reduces efficiency 1-2% so it is safe to say the 50 pounds or so you have with the "doughnut" tire, jack and such costs you about 1% so it is not unreasonable to say you wasted 25 gallons of gas a year, just on your paranoia. (assuming the tire and jack were free) At a certain point my $350 Ruger and a few boxes of ammo are a bargain. ;-) |

You carry a spare tire because you need to, because you've had a couple of flats or blowouts over the years. It isn't paranoia to carry a spare and a jack. How many times have you *had* to use a firearm to defend yourself over the same period of time? Tell us about the times you were sitting down to lunch with your associates and out of nowhere other mobsters opened fire on them. We're you packing heat at the time? If not why not? Didn't that happen on more than one occasion? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Didn't that happen on more than one occasion? There were no such times. Once, in Central America, I was with a group of associates who were pushing for land reform when some members of the national army opened fire on several of our group who were sitting at an adjacent table. The attackers weren't mobsters, unless you think military officers are mobsters. |
