For me that would be "code" for:
If When, after the elections, a bear mob attacks me in the woods streets of MD, I would rather have an assault rifle AK-47 than a handgun
Of course ,my Model 1300 (which seems to have fallen into hot water and shrunk to a total length of 25-3/4 inches and sprouted a pistol grip) would also serve nicely in close support...What's the "code" word for flechettes?)
I love your analogy!!!
