I loved this bit from Pruden's article:
Unlike some politicians faking an appreciation of guns and the Second Amendment, good ol’ Joe makes a persuasive case that in his heart he’s a good ol’ boy. He owns two shotguns and a Beretta handgun.The advice he gave to “Kate” and to his wife, Jill, about when and how to use a shotgun, was actually not so good. If Mrs. Biden hears a bad guy in the woods outside their home, he told her, “fire two blasts outside the house.” Firing inside the house is not a good idea unless you mean really serious business.
The veep and his missus aren’t likely to hear anything suspicious in the backyard, either at the official residence on Massachusetts Avenue or at their own house in Delaware. The Secret Service patrols around the properties are ample and adequate. The peril in firing a Beretta off the porch in Washington is that she might hit a passing car, bicyclist or even the pope’s ambassador at the Vatican Embassy across the street.
Pruden is at a level of jackass exceeded only by Plugsy.
Anyone with even a modicum of the training so vociferously advocated by the anti-gunners knows that firing blind, without a defined threat of death or grievous harm (ability, opportunity, jeopardy) to the person, will end up with a trip to the pokey.
Absolutely indefensible.
