Lazs, I refer you to the situation in Zimbabwe, where Tomato is from. There, those 6 bad guys might well be 6 of Robert Mugabe's henchmen, come to seize possession of a white owned farm or ranch. Even though many of the white farmers were armed, it didn't do them any good.

Tomato says hi, by the way, and no - you can't have her. :p

hi tomato!   I thought we were keeping this toned down so far as eetlebay?

beet... I agree that it would be one hell of a fight.    I might even lose.   I still think that not being armed is worse... even in that situation.   Isolated farms.... outnumbered severly by a population that hates you.... not a good situation but...

take the isralies.... there is a situation where having a gun gives you a fighting chance... not so outnumbered... not so isolated in the incidents.... very effective.

still... in either case.... I will trust to my own defense.. simple as that.
