24 years as an AB Ranger, sniper as my primary MOS, and K-9 as my secondary MOS, and now a gunsmith. I can promise you that they are not better armed than I am nor are they as quick to the trigger as I am when threatened. Anyone can be had but in my last active duty tour the score was 18 rangers dead and 600 scum bags splattered.
That was in the fall of 93 in Mogadishu. I wore a bolt gun out that day as did four other ranger snipers. The marines in the choppers pounded the crap out of a huge mass of bad guys and every time they got brave we took them out. It was a CF of the worst kind.
I now build and shoot long range comp rifles as well as assemble and tune custom AR’s. Our home is in the sticks with a clear field of fire of about 600 yards in every direction. No one is going to get past my dogs without some pain and a lot of noise. I can be had but it is going to cost them. I really do not have a single problem using deadly force against anyone who bothers me and mine with violence. I won't go looking for problems but won't walk away if they bring their crap to my place. I do not live alone. Everyone in this household has mastered the art of precision trigger pull.
