Wow
I never thought of myself as a Royal and my little 35 acres of woods and swamp can hardly be called an estate, LOL.
But I have Barbarically shot and killed 19 whitetail deer on my property in the last twelve years. I prefer venison to beef. It has no fat.
Fed my family well I must add. I have shot them with a 12 guage shotgun, a 20 guage shotgun with a rifled barrel, a 54 caliber side lock muzzleloader and my Bow and Arrow.
I own several shotguns and a couple muzzleloaders and a bow. I have never had occasion to use a gun for self defense but I did use a handgun to hold a Robber for the police once.
I have only known one person who has actually defended himself with a firearm from a criminal. A fellow I know shot and killed two intruders in his home in Chicago. I say good for him. It would have cost about $500,000 a year to house the two in prison. He saved us a lot of tax payer money. That should be the rule rather than the exception.
