For decades, it was some variant of .38.  Most around here are carrying
9mm now...  The caliber doesn't matter, really..

I didn't say it was common.  I said that the Iraqi armed with a shotgun up
against what the insurgents are carrying is just as outclassed as the cop
carrying a 9mm who *does* run into an assault weapon.  In both cases, the
outclassed person's situation can be summed up as "Oh, shit...."

(If anything, the outclassed Iraqi is even *more* screwed, because the
cop has at least had time on the target range, and has at least a *chance*
of dropping the guy with the AK-47 before he gets perforated himself....)
