Don't you know? All Americans own a Chinese made Norinco AK-47, and in that way do not worry about home intrusions. No really, I have a Mini-14 (.223 calibre semi-automatic rifle with 30-round clip, by any measure, a military class weapon, and I love my freedom to own it) and a couple of handguns (9mm and .25 calibre semi-automatics), and I'm in a low crime area (probably because the criminals know we have guns).

And you call yourself a Texan? No true red blooded, God fearin', gun totin' American would dare admit to owning a .25 caliber peashooter. That's what the thieves carry. (Unless of course that's your drop piece for when you blow the otherwise unarmed thieve's head off with the mini when he's creeping through your bedroom window...then it's okay.)

Ak-47 is a terrorist's standard equipment, powerful fire, cheap and very bad accuracy.so the security force don't use this weapon, they more like the Mp5..and i don't think you own it at your home because when you shooting an intruder, maybe the bullet can through the wall and kill your neighborhood in his bed and the intruder has run away as fast as he can

The optimal home defense weapon is the shotgun loaded with birdshot. Just the mere sight of it will scare most intruders off. And if it's dark, the sound of aggressively racking one in the chamber should do the trick. If the uninvited guest is still persistent on doing you harm, let one fly in his direction. The birdshots spread is bound to hit some flesh and usually wont penetrate more than one wall.

Eric, there are bars on the windows of the toughest city areas in America, but most of the country simply doesn't have to fear burglars. Like Nothing But Net said, there's always the possibility the homeowner has a gun (and legally the homeowner will have every right to shoot you if you break into his home.)
In addition, the stuff in people's houses just isn't likely to be worth enough money to bother robbing it. You can only pawn a television set for $20 or so, and if they think it's stolen no pawn shop will want to take it (because the police will take it away if they find out it's stolen, and the pawn shop owner will not get his money back.) I've known two people who had break-ins, and both times the thief took only a single, very expensive item, because they knew it was there--they'd heard my friends talking about it or saw them bring it in the house. |

I think that'd only be legal in Texas. |
