BANG, YOU'RE DEAD

BANG, YOU'RE DEAD

BANG.YOU'RE DEAD

So | saw this post on Facebook this morning where
some guy was talking about the gun you see here,
which he considered to be the perfect close range
self-defence weapon for his wife

The guy was obviously American, because Canadians
don't get all that excited about stuff like this

Anyway. he said the gun has a 6.5 inch barrel and fires
45 calibre bullets. So not only is the gun a full foot
long. and probably damn heavy. the noise it would
make firing it at close range could quite possibly
deafen you

Then there's the whole idea of getting the gun into a
position where you would actually fire it. Is she gon-
na wear this in a shoulder holster, or stuff it in her
purse? Either option, in close range. situations will get
you seriously damaged even before you get the gun
out. not to mention, aimed cocked and fired

The idea of owning a gun like this as personal protec-
tion in close range situations is an absurdity beyond
belief. | sincerely believe that anyone with that little
knowledge of guns should never be able to purchase a
CLE RIIGN EY

But this is. alas. America.a country which very much
appears to be reverting back to the frontier days.
when you could get yourself into a gunfight just by
lookin" sideway's at someone. How pathetic is that?
