I hike alone, I bike alone, I climb alone. But with my Smith & Wesson, I'm never alone.

These laws are also known informally as "make my day" laws.

Some people say a rifle or a shotgun isn't good in a home defense situation because the intruder can reach out and grab the barrel. I say let him try, because I'm going to be lighting him up when he does.
