I have never needed one in the civilian world. I was USMC, not AF so an M-16 was a necessity several times.

Yet some people have different life experiences-

Woman who shot intruder waited hour for police

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Montgomery County dispatchers got three phone calls Wednesday morning, all from the scene.

The first was a woman calling around 3:00 a.m. worried about a man trying to break in.

Caller: Someone is trying to break into my house
Dispatcher: Can you see someone or hear someone, what’s going on?
Caller: Someone is banging on the door.

The dispatcher follows protocol and asks the caller questions for several minutes.
Then appears to end the call saying…

Dispatcher: Keep an eye out for the officer and call us back if you hear anything else.

My "keeper!" Really? Binkie The Clown Oct 2015 #15

Yes, keeper. You deny others have a right to self defense. Presumably, you aren't a hypocrite and Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #16
