They would be running scared from me. I have cameras, motion detectors, motion activated lights, backup generator, mobile hotspot, cellular alarm system, two shotguns, and four handguns. All with mounted flashlights and two with laser sights with extra magazines.
shareSounds like a boring movie. And short.
shareGeez, what kinda drugs you dealin'?
"I'm here to help. Don't eat the help."
Ok, so you're a paranoid psycho. Congrats! :D
shareWho will outlive you :D
shareHaha, in that situation, you most likely would, I'm not much of a fighter I'm afraid. And I was just joking anyway ;)
share:) The interesting thing is that I bought each item through the course of a few years, some to serve other purposes but they all total up to provide great defense.
shareBut what in the world do you need two shotguns and four handguns for? And even with laser sights?
shareLong story. I started with one large handgun. I liked going to the range with it so I got a permit to carry since it was a hassle transporting it unloaded and the other rules. Then I carried all the time but it was too large so I got a smaller gun to carry. Then I noticed there were times when I didn't have a gun in reach in case I needed one so I bought one for my car and upstairs.
I then figured I would try a shotgun. I liked it and bought another which is the top of the line. A couple of the handguns came with laser sights and I added flashlights too. I totally modified my newest shotgun to the max since it looks cool :)
Thinking back I cannot find a single situation in my life so far in which I ever thought I "needed" a gun. Have you been in one? Or does carrying a gun just give you a general sense of safety?
I have to admit I actually think guns are kinda cool and I kinda like the sense of power holding a gun gives you. I think it is partly for that reason that I wouldn't ever want one near me in my daily life. I wouldn't want to get into a situation where I'd feel the need to take aim at an actual person.
It does make you feel safe. The weird thing is I am a nicer guy because of it. I used to act like a tough guy when I was aroubd some rough looking thug but I know if he tries anything I can protect myself. There was a time before I had a gun and called the police when I saw a bug guy beating on a woman outside and the Cops took 20 minutes to get there. I called them twice asking what is taking so long they acted like they didn't care.
shareYou should have called an exterminator instead. They'd take care of the bug guy better than the cops.
shareWho will outlive you :DMaybe not. Your chances of being shot are more than four times higher than that of people who don't keep firearms in the home, and that this will be fatal to you, more than two and a half times higher.
Liberal brainwashing
shareIf by "liberal brainwashing" you mean "facts", then yes, it is.
The numbers are clear.
However, one thing that often doesn't get mentioned but ought to is that a great many gun injuries are deliberately self-inflicted. As in, suicide attempts, either successful or not.
As long as you're not going to kill yourself, you're not in as much danger from your own weapons as the overall statistics may at first seem to indicate.

which is why he said liberal brainwashing. Most published studies cherry pick nonsense in order to get their desired result. Suicides being a huge one.
shareWhy not check out the raw statistics and draw your own conclusions? Here are the numbers for 2014 in the USA. No cherry picking here; just the facts. If you explore the CDC site a little further, you will find other charts listing assaults, accidents and suicides.

In other words, he called him out correctly as a liberal "liar", no?
shareNow that's security. I don't understand how some people think it's excessive. If you're trained to use guns, the why not be safe than sorry? You never know what the hell can happen. We live in an apartment in a safe neighborhood, but are taking shooting classes and keeping a gun. Keep it secure and learn to use it, and no one (other than the person you want) will get hurt.
