I have no illusion of using any of them for "defense," although I do have a bayonet for my Brown Bess.-responsible gun owner.
I have a similar scheme. I keep my rifles in the attic crawlspace above my closet - dis-assembled and packed in locked hardcases. The rounds, shot, and powder (and points- I keep my bow on the wall and the arrows in the sidemounted quiver, sans-points) are in a fireproof safe in my garage.
Black powder aint for accuracy - it's to give the game a sporting chance. I'd say 50 yards is 40 too far..lol. (3 rounds a minute with a pan or blasting caps? Impressive either way. I get off a heady max of 2 rounds a year with mine..lol)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
