What good can a handgun do against an army?

[Adam Helmer]

GOB,

To answer your question about "what good is a handgun against an army?" let me say IF every home owner confronted WHACKED 3 or 4 of the Jackbooted Thugs at their door, in SHORT Time NO THUG would want to be the :First Guy: to breech ANY DOOR!

In 1856 in Columbia, PA three runaway slave families took shelter in a stone farmhouse. A Maryland Sheriff and 8 deputies were hot on the runaway's trail and at dawn rushed the farmhouse. The three men had double barrel shotguns stoked with buckshot and fired on the Sheriff and deputies. When the smoke cleared the Sheriff and 4 deputies were dead, two wounded and ALL, who could, fled back to Maryland.

Frederick Douglass said, "The best way to make a DEAD issue of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act is to make a few DEAD Slave Catchers." Nuff said!
