I got a call tonight that there are three convicts loose in my area. It was said that they are thought to be headed in one of two directions. One is torwards my home and the other is the opposite direction. Even if they start out in the other direction, they could come this way. I live near the highway and if they feel like they need a place to hide, or pick up fresh wheels, my house could be a logical target.
Now I wouldn't be worried usually. However, right now I only have one gun in the house that holds more than five rounds. That gun is a 10/22. I have two thirty-round mags loaded and ready. One is staggered plated hollow point then soft lead round nose. The other is loaded with two soft lead hollow points followed by a soft lead round nose, all the way down. I just don't feel like that is enough.
When the taxes come in, I am definitely looking in to a semi-auto handgun with at least 10+ rounds. I never understood the saying "bring enough gun." Now that I'm sitting here, with my wife and kid asleep beside me, listening for every bump and knock, I understand.
Knowing that a bullet can do the job seems great. Knowing that I have enough for one person always seemed good enough. I thought, "do two shot failure drills." Sitting here now, I am kicking myself in the rear end. Planning in the abstract for what is statistically likely seemed like a great idea. Now I pray that I don't have to see if it was.
I feel like I need more gun and more ammo. I can't change it now. All I can do is offer a little advice. Bring enough gun, it may be more than you need to save your rear, but it will be just enough to save your sanity.
