People recover from serious injuries. People die from minor injuries. A Harvard study on patient safety a few years reached the alarming conclusion that significant errors in medical treatment-wrong drug, wrong treatment, wrong patient, like that-occur at the rate of one per patient per hospital day. If you can wound 'em enough to get them into the hospital, we will take care of it for you from there. The big gun versus little gun debate is a moo point. (do you mean moot point? No, I mean moo point-only cows care). Big guns make big holes, little guns make little holes so you need to make more of them, and it matters where you make the hole. Getting barked at by a dog is discouraging. Getting bitten by a dog is discouraging. Getting shot at is more discouraging. Getting shot at and hit is very discouraging. None of these things will solve every problem that comes along, just as the DRPSK will not equip you to survive every scenario. The value in all this is not the conclusion, it is the discussion. Everyone is right. Kum ba yah, good neighbors.
