"a to the motherfucking k"/: latour on weapons

[David Morris]

This is a very good post!  Thanks!

Twice since I've lived in this city my wife and I have been run inside our 
front door from enjoying an in-broad-daylight game of dominos or just 
sunning on our front stoop.  Both times we were avoiding being mugged by a 
group of young thugs approaching us w/ bandanas pulled up around their 
faces.  Both times I resolved to get a gun and was advised that an inexpert 
like myself should get a shotgun sawed off to the legal limit, maximum 
spray.  And both times I've later decided against it.  I don't want to be 
responsible for such deadly force.  I't would change me.  I'd always be 
having to decide if this was the time to pull out the gun.
