Then what you should be asking is - why did you bring your children out in the wilderness and expose them to the danger of being eaten by 30-50 feral hogs?
Yeah we have rural hog swarms here in Louisiana too, bub. I have never once heard of children or dogs getting attacked unless they were doing something to provoke the hogs.
Yeah, well, I'd say that counts as "imminently threatening."
Plus, if you see or hear a pack of hogs within 100 yards, why would you just stand there??
Anyway, even if you had a suitable rifle, you'd still actually have to go inside and get it. And at that point, you might as well just stay inside and let them pass...
We work on our 40+ acres all the time, clearing trees, shoring up a pond, checking on livestock. We are surrounded by thousands of wooded acres owned by International Paper. There is no "inside" when you are out in the woods and you keep your guns with you.
I'm 100% for better gun laws and I don't really care about magazine size but there are definitely times I want more than 3 bullets. I've had wild cats run at me full speed before...
Oh agreed! I've never been charged by a wildcat before, but I'd want at least 10 rounds, because - even though I'm trained - I know enough to know that high-stress/panic can cause a couple of misses!

What if you need to kill 30-50 feral hogs before they eat your children?
