I agree. I believe that’s enough of a deterrent that these POS won’t try to find out if you would use it. Also, it is good to have friends or family helping. If they see 10 people armed I don’t think that they would even look your way. Of course these rats don’t think normally.
In 1997 we here in Pinellas county (FL) had a riot over a police shooting. Rioters decided to break into a pawn shop to swipe all the guns. Owner with an AK was waiting on them. He let loose soon as they broke the glass. Problem solved.
