While purusing Oleg Volk's sight(a co-moderater) I came across the following reasons as to why to have a rifle. What the hell is being said here-when police kick in your door go ahead and do them in with your kevlar defeatable rifle??? What kind of message does this portray?? And then further, it may not be a mistake it may be they are at the right door, which means they obviously have a reason to be there, so go ahead and do them in as well??? AM I missing something here-I totally agree with the bad guy scenario-but whatis being said is wether the LAW is there by mistake or not a rifle would be a good choice for your home because it will go through kevlar. Here is the paragraph posted directly from the sight:
If you just happen to be very unlucky, the intruder may not be alone. He may also have body armor, proof against pistol bullets.
Such a scenario is likely if DEA or local police are there by mistake. They have been known to kick in the wrong doors. Sometimes they kick in the "right doors", it just might happen that the door is yours.
A rifle bullet would go through a Kevlar vest.
Rifles are also more likely to have a larger deteachable magazines than either pistols or shotguns. If you are have the time to reach for more than your sidearm, get a rifle or a shotgun.
