I just love these liberal academic and their studies. Guns deterred crime for my family in St. Louis some years ago before carry permits were common. So, we carried an 870 in the trunk. We brought it into the Motel 6 hotel room and put it next to the nightstand. I pressed the slide release on the side bottom. The chamber was empty but could be loaded with with a quick slide motion.
3AM and the door gets unlocked and the ball and loop on the side of the door stops it. I rack the action as the door gets kicked open. I caj see them. They cant see me.
The woman in the lead hears the shotgun loading sound and yells, “Don’t shoot We be leavin. We be leavin. I approached the door and looked out, loaded with 00 as the woman and two male accomplices scurried like rats down the stairs.
Just the sound of that 870 loading diffused the situation.
Liberal: But....but....but....you should of just dialed 911....the police would be there...in....minutes.
Nice!
“Just the sound of that 870 loading diffused the situation.”
As one of my buddies likes to say:”Sounds like the gates of Hell slamming shut.”
