The sad part is that it was only a few centuries ago that the military was used against us... you know, revolutionary war, and there were damn good reasons for good ole number two. Philosophies that were discussed in its making that predate guns. Example after example of the need to protect oneself, and ones own.
And for those pro-gun law folks, did you know that the "militia" that constitutes part of that amendment, by definition, can have no government influence. In fact, that militia is charged protecting us from any hostile government, including our own, on our turf, by that same amendment.
Betcha the people of germany in the 30's and 40's wished the Nazi's hadnt banned all their guns....
Back to the OP, I love hearing stories like this. The NRA's publication National Rifleman runs a column where these type of stories are printed pretty much every month. Happens more often than most people think.
