I recieved a flyer in the mail from Pemco today, and was impressed by their choice of articles to mail out.

I store my guns loaded and handy, so my kids can provide back-up. (sometimes my son (14) is a better shot}
The only time they are "handy" is when I'm home, otherwise they are in my steel gun cabinet or with me. Also if you haven't noticed yet I tend to be sarcastic.Only downside to that is that anyone else who gains access to your house has access to your guns too.
the same old anti-gun foot in the door "think of the children" or "your children are in danger at a friends house" heard it all, i keep my gun loaded and at my side at all times, seeing as its the only firearm in the house no beef there, but sadly I am out of the "bullets" required to fire this dangerous device sooooo View attachment 6891 this is in store for the unlucky bastard that breaks into my house. yes it is very real, very sharp, and I clean it regularly like my gun to keep the blade from rusting.
Heh, at the optimal range for a sawed-off shotgun, a sword in trained hands is deadlier than a pistol. Much beyond that range, though, you'd be better off with the pistol. And personally, I'd rather have the shotgun than either sword or pistol at that range.
In my opinion, for a home invasion situation, you are better off with a pistol if you plan to go moving about your house to secure the kids or go looking for an intruder (it may be necessary), as its far more controllable, maneuverable and KEEP-able under the widest range of situations. It far easier to disarm and/or wrestle someone with a rifle or shotgun. There is a level less of control in such weapons that require extension away from the body, and its in-close control is far diminished to that of a pistol that can be kept close to the chest or at the side while using a free arm to defend and deflect, especially if you get knocked down.
Now, that being said...
If you plan to create a choke or ambush point at the top of a staircase, or in a bedroom after calling the police, I would agree that a shotgun or rifle (with an appropriate load that wont pass through into your neighbors house/apartment) is a better choice in both accuracy and "stopping power".
More than a few individuals in our boarding officer training classes have been shown just how vulnerable they become to an attacker that gets inside the sweep zone of long arms, or even other two handed weapons, to include baseball bats AND swords.
And if you get pepper sprayed while trying to bring a rifle or shotgun to bear on an attacker, you might as well forget about it unless you plan to spray and prey. *cringe*
Hmm. Didn't see any acknowledgment to the NRA for their Stop, Don't Touch, Leave the Area, Tell an Adult advice. Straight out of Eddie Eagle.
Do you have any idea how many "Pro Gun" organizations there are already? There is just about one for every State plus several so called National organizations. Every one of them is vying for funds and donations. Rather than pick one group to get behind gun owners are spreading their "clout" all over the spectrum. The organizations that have been the most effective in challenging laws around the country are both the NRA and SAF. They may not challenge ALL the laws but they have been effective in picking battles that will have the most effect over all.Why would they acknowledge the NRA? That is partly why I like the way they think. The NRA does not suppport every facet of the 2nd ammendment. They will never get my money. I think a NFA, "National firearms assosiation" would make more sense.

If we keep spreading our support around among all the little ineffective groups the anti-gun movement will retain all the traction they've enjoyed over the years.
Just remember, the most far reaching decisions of the last 50+ years was brought about by the NRA and SAF, not GOA, or any of the other "No Compromise" organizations.
Does the NRA support or endorse open carry?

Did you miss this? It was posted last month in of all places, this Forum. http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=7037
Yes, they do support Open Carry just like Concealed Carry, Hunting, Sport Shooting, and just about anything that has to do with the 2nd Amendment and Firearms.
Many don't like the NRA but as it stands today, they've put more money in the "Fight" than anyone else.
the same old anti-gun foot in the door "think of the children" or "your children are in danger at a friends house"...
I disagree. It looks like a reasonable, responsible approach to firearm safety in the home. It is a good idea to have your kids take a formal safety course. It is a good idea to make sure their toys can't be easily confused for a firearm. I saw nothing anti-gun there.
