Yep, I hear you. Just got a good deal on a "difference-maker" last week, Remington 870 12 GA for about $300. Right now it's for home defense, but, if the goons come for me, well, just sayin', I won't go quietly.

I pray that day never comes, but it pays to be ready. Eternal vigilance, and all that.
