Because nothing stops attackers like an old woman with an empty shotgun

As usual, Joe Biden, the White House's designated gaffer, opens his mouth and stupid stuff comes out.

This time, he's telling us all about his own stellar home-defense plan.

"If there's ever a problem," Biden said he told his wife Jill, "just walk out on the balcony here--walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house--I promise you whoever is coming in ... You don't need an AR-15..."

Because yeah...nothing says "I'm serious" like a now-empty double-barreled shotgun, and that's true even in those few areas where it's not illegal to just walk outside and discharge a firearm into the air.

At least in Jill Biden's case, all that noise and commotion should at least wake up their taxpayer-provided Secret Service contingent who will come around with--wait for it--assault rifles and shoot the bad guys.

Joe Biden: Proof that a large number of Americans just don't take voting seriously.

As for me and Murphy, since the Secret Service isn't coming if I call for help, We'll put our faith in something a bit more appropriate for home defense:
