I have a SKS (7.62×39), A Mauser 48 (8MM), an Enfied Mark 4 chamber in 308 NATO, and a Winchester 1894 chambered for 38/357. All are great shooters. Nothing against 223 platforms, just prefer 30 cal.

My handguns are a S&W model 65 and a Colt 380. The S&W is my bedside gun. The little Colt is my concealed ccarry. Stay armed 24/7.

Parker, I too prefer AR to a smooth boar. However, an AR is a ballistic weapon and a pig, wild or domestic, is a self-guiding fire-and-forget weapon.

The AR15 has many advantages. But when it comes to a rifle or handgun, I go with 30 cal. However, I enjoy shooting my two 22LR rifles, and would feel competent to defend me and mine with them. However, stopping power is important.

om: “Handgun versus a trained rifleman (even when only 17 years old) another life lesson for a felon.”

So true. I carried a 38 revolver when flying in the Navy. I was told by instructors to NEVER try to take on an infantryman with a rifle. The 38 was for killing small game for survival purposes and looking cool in pictures. 🙂

I remember the days when there were government officials that would order looters and arsonists shot on sight.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_looting_starts,_the_shooting_starts

Sometimes strong measures are required to maintain the peace and security of life and property. Looting and arson are crimes. When committed on a mass basis as they have been the last three months, it’s going to take either overwhelming manpower or overwhelming violence to put a stop to it. So far, the mayors and governors have failed to do either. The longer they fail at their duties, the more likely it is that “vigilantes” will step up. So be it. Law and order may be the deciding factor in Trump’s favor.

I hear that Rittenhouse is getting a good lawyer, Lin Wood. Same attorney that is representing Nick Sandmann. I hope that’s right.

Personally, I always choose a firearm with rifling over a smooth boar. Rifle or handgun are superior to a shotgun. Accuracy always wins.

There is also the consideration of controllability and recoil from a 12 ga vs AR-15 and of course magazine capacity.

Well the AR-15 platform just got a ringing endorsement from the heartland for the deplorables. Light, controllable, effective. Shotgun, probably not, he may have fired 8 rounds total, I’ve read that shotgun accuracy and effectiveness isn’t what you would expect.

Wouldn’t a shotgun have been a better weapon for this situation?

It isn’t strange but there is a GoFundMe for Skateboard martyr of Kenosha but GoFundMe took down the site for the legal defense of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Don’t bring a skateboard to a gun fight. Was that in the God of Copybook Headings? Another lesson that won’t be learned. Handgun versus a trained rifleman (even when only 17 years old) another life lesson for a felon.

Next time you’re in Starbucks, take a good look at your tattooed and disgustingly body pierced Barista. He (or she cheering him on) is likely to come for you and yours one day. But in a mob and blacked out from head to toe so that the dysfunctional and malicious State can fail to identify or apprehend.

Now I’m not saying that it’s time to take out your local purveyor of caffeinated milkshakes, but it might just be a good idea to start paying more attention to the young hipster types in your area. Sure they’re just the foot soldiers, but the first order of the day is to start actively noticing what is going on in one’s own community.
