You yanks are hilarious. If someone in this country talked about the armed defence of their home like this people would assume they were mad or joking. We are so far away from the kind of thinking and gun prevalance that precipitate discussing skirmish tactics in a domestic setting. If you lot want to live in a state of tooled up seige - then go for it. It makes our insane obsession with CCTV seem pleasantly comic in comparason.
