I know what you mean...I once experienced a situation where it was the double barrel 12 ga. I was holding vs the .38 revolver the badguy had in his waist band - the 12 gauge trumped the .38 very handily and the three perps. left the premises without any further problems. The Mini-14 is a much underrated home/farm/ranch defense weapon - 3 or 4 MOA accuracy is totally sufficient for close encounters, and the .223 round is sufficiently well known to make the potential receiver think twice. What's the old axiom about taking a hand gun to a gunfight?
