My issue is not with the use of a handgun as a home defense weapon, but with the idea that if you are a bad shot get the 33rd clip and just pray and spray. If you are a poor shot with your pistol either practice more or find a gun you can shoot (maybe get a laser grip).

I appreciate her run down of situations where armed persons have helped to end killing sprees, a good list for reference at a later date.

But I strongly disagree with the following:

In fact, high-capacity mags put a predator like Loughner at a disadvantage because they are so long, unwieldy and difficult to conceal. This may be why the Tucson shooting appears to be the first spree killing involving a high-capacity magazine. It would have been easier for Loughner to bring two guns.

On the other hand, for a homeowner who is a poor marksman, a large-capacity clip could be a lifesaver.

If you are a homeowner who is a poor marksman, get a shotgun, not a handgun with a 33rd magazine. While you have every right to own the gun and the magazine I would consider it to be a poor decision to rely on this as your home protection.

I think the Glock 33rd mag is a joke. Having used one a few times, it can't reasonably be considered for any kind of real situation. I thought it would be nice to not have to swap mags when at the range, but the added weight makes the gun behave differently than it would under carry conditions. You can't conceal with the mag in, not easily. Good luck finding a small lock box to hold the gun with mag in.
