You can load it on Sunday and shoot it all month. (Nobody wants to reload a gun while being shot at.) It&#8217;s light and easy to control. You don&#8217;t have to carry it or conceal it; it&#8217;s under the bed or in the drawer until needed. When the question arises of who needs an extended magazine, the answer is: the most defenseless of the defenseless.<\/p>\n<p>Those who would ban extended magazines, will say that although hundreds of thousands are in circulation and thousands more will surely be sold before a ban is enacted, it will be worth it if it saves just one life. But the other half of that question must be asked, too: Is it worth it if it costs just one life?<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As one would expect, the comments are full of derision for Hunter and his stance. From reading them, you would think all anti-gunners had the shooting skills of Annie Oakley and thus didn&#8217;t need more than one or two rounds.<\/p>\n<p>To confirm the need for protection against home invaders comes this video from WSAZ in southern Ohio. The area has seen a large increase in home invasions and residents are stepping up to protect themselves.
