Except for close range fighting, I can see the better use of rifles over handguns, but we seldom see that in movies or TV--oh, except the old TV series THE RIFLEMAN. I liked that show.<br />An interesting and revealing blog, Cheri.Sarah J.

It's fun to think of them (the good guys) as noble heroes, but we need to remember they were just human and didn't feel obligated to face off with the bad guys in the street. Not very practical if one wanted to live to fight another day.Lyn Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596495172490672271noreply@blogger.com
