I will just remind you or let you know and make you aware of the Sunday morning tradition in Switzerland. Every man young or old picks up his automatic rifle behind the bedroom door or his handgun from his "unlocked" drawer and heads to the range for practise. Those pirates who are unworthy of our time to talk about are not able to hit a target 2'x2' in ten yards. MY High Standard pump 9+1 shotgun has first #2 buckshot second slug for the hull third and fourth buckshot and so on. I can guarantee you I can put five shots of slugs in less than five inches group at 25 yards in about 6 seconds. Safety training and target practice in the local gun range is a must for anyone who intends to have a firearm on board or in the house and use it when in need.
