Weird that a rifle is allowed since it could be considered an offensive weapon, but a hadgun which is purely a defensive short ranged weapon is not. I guess this is to appease the deer hunters.

you call a handgun a defensive weapon but in reality (at least here) they are the type that are mostly used in crimes, its also an issue of concealment, walking around with a rfile in the middle of a town centre makes you a obvious target to our trigger happy armed police therefore isnt as appealing to crooks as handguns that can be hidden.
call handguns a purely defensive weapon to the many people who have lost family members to them.
[this isnt a dig at you, just the us classification of handguns as a 'defence'] |
I hear ya, but a handgun is useless at any real range. I have several myself and if you think your going to hit anything reliably with it over a rifle, well think again. It is a defensive weapon, that is being employed effectively as an offensive weapon in your case. The reason it is being successful too is that people think that the guy in question won't miss (hollywood has a role here), and grovel vs taking action. My bets are, since it is a banned weapon, that he has no training with it and can't hit squat! So I'd be apt to just run away!
