Off another list….
tell me freedom haters and anti self defense folks, what would YOU have done?
==========

Two minute response, that is good. Not good enough to stop a 30 second
attack, but pretty good. I am surprised the wierdo seemed to consider
making a move when you were holding a Benelli. It is good that you were
aware, or you could be dead. Obviously he wanted to lure you out where he
had an advantage. He probably had friends in the shadows or out front.
Another defensive use of a firearm to add to the other 5,000 a day (2
million plus a year)?
