I feel sorry for anyone who ever breaks into my house. They better pray it’s my pit bull that gets them first and not me so they actually have a chance. Can’t take any chances with kids.

Castle Doctrine. Anyone who breaks into your home or attempts to while occupied is legally ventilated. Even through the door. Now, if no one is home and you pull in the driveway and find someone inside you can't shoot them legally unless they come at you.

 

[Skullbone]

Why you trying to ban @Catbone?

Collateral damage. Fasting is always an option though. lol

 

[Volnatic]

You mean Womp Rats? You spend much time in Beggar's Canyon?

Used to bullseye them in my T-16 back when I was younger.

They will 100% come at me.

No need for guns. . . the world is safe.

A close friend of mine got a knock on his door at 11p one night. He walked from his room, down the hallway, and to the front door. He turned the deadbolt to unlock the door. The burglars heard the lock and shot, point blank, through the door with a shotgun, into my friend's chest.

He died instantly.

The burglars entered. Seconds later, they shot his father's fiance, who was sleeping in a recliner in the living room.

She died moments later.

His dad heard the attack from his bedroom. He grabbed his 9mm from beside his bed and moved to the door. Quickly peering down the hallway from his bedroom door, he saw 2 burglars coming toward him. He fired several shots, killing one burglar on the spot and wounding the other in the hip.

Hours later, the 2nd burglar was apprehended as he attempted to visit Blount Memorial emergency room, complaining of an injury from an earlier car accident.

The murderers had followed his dad home, after seeing him pick up a prescription at Walgreens. They waited until night and attempted the robbery. They had previously known my friend's family and knew the father was a disabled veteran, receiving pain meds.

This happened in Seymour/South Knoxville, only a few years ago.

Firearms are like fire extinguishers. It's likely you'll never need either but how many would not have a fire extinguisher in their homes?

I carry. My decision. My wife carries. Her decision. You don't want to carry. Your decision. Just don't try to make my decision for me.

all i wanted to do was go hang out with my friends...

Preach it
I agree and this should be the same with other things currently going on….
People need to mind their own business and worry about themselves more

 

[Ttucke11]

I’m guessing all you peeps who say people should carry bc they’re concerned for their own safety, and especially the safety of those around them, are big pro-mask and pro-vaccine folks, ay? Shouldn’t that crowd overlap quite a bit?

Correct. I am extremely pro-do whatever you want. Wear a mask, get a vaccine, carry a gun. You do you. My business is my business, yours is yours.

Sorry to hear. That is crazy. May they Rest In Peace.

Feel the same way, this is my boy

 

[bigorange]

And you think Jim Bob carrying his gun to the grocery store is gonna be that knight do ya LOL

Around the same amount of people fall to their deaths every year in the US that are killed by guns. Do you carry around a parachute? Or a pillow to throw down on the ground if you see someone falling?

So what exactly does pen¡s size have to do with personal security? Are pen¡ses effective in CQB? Are they an effective ranged weapon? At what range are they lethal? Are they effective for more than one target? What about accuracy? I'm a little skeptical, but admittedly, I'm just average there, so maybe you pro-pen¡s guys are just that much above average that your tool is an effective deterrent. Much respect for your superior skill and endowment.

People cant mind their own business. They think if they dont want something then you should not want it. These anti gun people are the ones when somebody breaks into their homes will help the burglars load their things up and give them their debit card.

Yes.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

They make me feel uncomfortable.

If they have to carry a gun while going out then they prob shouldn't have left their house in the first place.

Ignorant take
