My Mom asked..."why do you need a tactical shotgun"

I know Cooper was more or less out of most teaching by the time this tactical everything craze got started (or was not teching the green level glasses) but I really have to wonder what he would have thought of some of the folks who feel the need to over do it.

Heck I shy away from one praticular gun shop just because they, and their employess seem to all be of the Uber Tactical bent.

Guess it's kind of like when I worked in a bike shop, guys would come in and drop a few thousand on a titanium frame, go counting grams differance between componenets and all the time it's obvious they are not performing anywhere near optimum and could themselves easily shed a few pounds rather than drop and extra grand to save a half pound on the bike.
 
Honestly, if my mom or any body asked such a question, I would simply reply with "Cause I want to and there's nothing you can do about it."
 
A buddy of mine with the a "Tactical Mossberg 500 Special Purpose 7+1" and I with my "Mossberg 500 5+1". Both took a Defense Shooting class this past weekend. :)

The only thing that makes a shotgun Tactical, is when the operator is trained properly. ;)

My mom asked me this when she saw my AK. Now our family loves to sit & watch "Firefly" so without missing a beat I said, "Reavers".

That may or may not work with your mom.:D
 
1. The rulers of a "free world" should fear it's citizens.

2. Protection for you and loved ones against people who have no regard for human life.

Both of those points are pretty damn important if you ask me.

A good quote comes to mind, "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it."
 
"Why do you need a tactical shotgun?"

Tell her its because the voices in your head said you did.:D

Either that or tell her your pistol said it was lonely, so you got the shotgun to keep the pistol company.:D

Yes. "The people should not fear the government. The government should fear the people." Who was it that said that? Was it my favorite American good'ole Ben Franklin?

Edit:
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson
 
Uhm, there's a large gap between responsibility and anarchy.

-a state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting from a failure of government)

-confused state of society in which there is no government and no laws.

-Lack of rule, disorder

Keep in mind, it doesn't mean "Armed and irresponsible citizens can result in an anarchy."

The funny thing about an armed population is that the likelihood of an anarchist uprising and/or conflict taking place decreases. The reason being, the majority of the population would be like minded and see that the anarchist agenda isn't in the best interest of the people. At this point joining en masse with government authorities (if the forces were larger than that of the authorities) to combat the impending negative outcome, or just straight up g-style army of one.
