I keep a pistol in my bedside drawer because I live in an area where a crackhead might decide to break into my house with his own gun. I use it exclusively at the range and I keep it tucked away, not on my person, 100% of the time.
Fuck, it might not even help much if you have it during the robbery… I imagine you don’t pull sick John Wick moves when you’re being robbed. You might not have enough time to go get the gun, and if not that, a lot of other things could go wrong.
But the question still makes sense. People spend lifetimes worrying about things that never happened to them or anybody they know. I wanted to know if he had reason for having a gun.
this is true, but having one is definitely going to be more useful than not. At the very least you have some sense of self defense, at a ranged distance.
My point is, worrying about something prematurely is better than worrying about something after it’s too late. You wanna know why the internet explodes once a year because of cloudflare? People not worrying about things until after they implement them.
There’s such a thing as being too prudent. Guns are dangerous to own, and can cause accidents. They can cause escalation that is worse than having a watch, a laptop and some jewelry stolen, which is what most small-time robbers will be looking for (in my mind).
I’m nobody to judge your or the parent poster for owning a gun though. I’m not an American, and crackheads don’t have guns on this side of Canada. Plus, I also drive sometimes, which is also risky, but the benefits outweigh the risks.
I’m just trying to challenge my own belief that they’re more trouble/risk than they’re worth, by asking a gun owner for their perspective on the matter.
Yeah, all those non-white countries with their savage ways, unlike you pure milk-white holier-than-thou saviours who think your culture is better than us melanated folk 🙄
Hi someone from the rest of the world here. With no context this just looks like a corny family photo and I don’t see a reason to be so hateful over it.
The entire rest of the world looks at this picture and goes “Oo look, a bunch of pathetic cowards!”
Rest of the world being everyone except this weird sub-cult. Even most gun owning Americans think this is cringe AF.
I own quite a few guns and only see a bunch of loser clowns in this photo.
If you own a gun and you’re not a hunter, farmer, or sportsman, you’re a fuckin coward
There ya go

Tell me, in your own words, how I’m a coward.
Genuine question: has it happened to you or someone you know?
My neighbor got robbed at gunpoint a few years back, in his apartment.
Thanks for your answer!
gun doesn’t do much to help you from a robbery if you buy it after the fact.

And he answered!

Yeah, all those people out there who need them to defend themselves against harassment, abuse, and violence are so cowardly 🙄
What, all those people in Britain? France? Germany? Australia?
Or are you talking about the undeveloped countries?

I was talking about the US
The country where Hispanics are demographically overtaking whites, proving my point that you’re just being a racist, arrogant, self-satisfied prick.
Username checks out.
You didn’t prove shit. The downvote counter lets me think nobody agrees with you 🤷♂️
Saying the US is a cesspool is not racism. It’s an opinion, that you may think is wrong, but still not racism.
Stop sniffing glue.
