I have your solution for dealing with multiple BGs line them up in a hallway, but you probably won't be able to hear anything for a few days.
First, don't we all keep the bolt removed from the rifle so it won't discharge accidentally? Then there is the ammunition. We may keep our HD weapon next to our bed but safety demands that the ammunition be in locked storage. There is the trigger lock to deal with too.
The story was about two guys who were armed with bolt action hunting rifles after some sort of natural disaster or major civil unrest taking a look around their neighborhood and then being approached at close quarters by three hostile bad guys armed with inexpensive semi-auto .22 rifles.
Cosmoline : I'd rather have an M-1 carbine if going semiauto. But again I think there's a tendency to assume a surplus bolt gun is going to be as slow as a Monte Carlo stocked, fully scoped deer rifle. As anyone who's seen the mad minute can attest, that ain't nec so!
