In reply to the discussion: Can anyone provide a reason for more than 3 rounds? [View all]Major Nikon
(36,818 posts)14. If you manage to drill one, do you think the other 3 are going to stick around for the reload?
You can't compare home defense to what cops do. Cops aren't on defense. Cops are on offense. As such they pursue bad guys who often don't particularly like getting caught. This isn't the same situation as making it worthwhile for the bad guy to go somewhere else.
If you really want to go down the road of being realistic, the reality is that owning a gun makes you less safe, not more safe. If you want to be more safe, don't own a gun. Any argument for safety that includes a gun has failed right out of the gate.

My bad, that is a 77, however Mini 14 was made with a bolt action for the UK market.
