I worked behind the gun counter of a sporting goods store back in the early 1980s. The other guy who was there working with me on this particular day was asked by a woman unfamiliar with firearms which gun she should purchase for home defense. He began singing the praises of a bolt action .30-06 rifle for that purpose. I could only listen for so long, and had to intervene. The guy was a recent transplant from California who had just started working there a few weeks earlier. Super dumb. Didn't last long.

Can you imagine if she had walked out of there with a bolt action .30-06 for home defense??
