If someone breaks in, and you and they both have guns, what if that's what gets them nervous enough to shoot you before you shoot them?
Or, hell, what if the kid finds it?
Or you trip and shoot yourself.
A gun might save you, but it might just as well be an accident waiting to happen.
It's not instant security inna box.

Your first question is the most liberal one I've heard in years. He comes into my house with a gun.......Originally Posted by SnnY
Second, two words, gun locks.
Third, you are fishing. I don't run around with guns. The only shooting I actually do is at the range.

Yeah, they come into your house, expecting it to be a simple matter of pushing you around, and they find you there with your wee gun?
Instant fooking OK corral.
Secondly, there are a lot of reasons you might forget a gun-lock.
And thirdly, what if they decide to break in while you are pished, or haven't slept, or whatever. It's easy to forget yourself.

Yep, it's called security.Originally Posted by manker
I've seen enough to warrant my mentality. It's also called survival. I like my chances increased although I can't guarantee it.
I notice many on here act as if this "mentality" is a burden. It is not.
I come home turn off the alarm and go about my business. It's a button press ffs.
The same when I leave.
If I'm outside in the yard and just come in, there is a chirp.
That's about the extent of my alarm dealings.
When I go to range, my gun is the cabin of the car, ammo in the trunk.
I come home, gun lock on, put in hiding place.
Otherwise guns are no intrusion on my lifestyle. I don't carry it when walking around my backyard or anything...they stay put unless I'm going shooting.
The fence is for privacy and to stop packs dogs from roaming freely and biting the shit out of me.
Again, simple logic.

Busy, you're in dreamland if you think that your range shooting will instantly mean you'll pwn a burgular in a gunfight.
You have to acknowledge that the mere fact you possess a gun heightens the chances you'll get shot.
An armed burgular without being faced with a gun toting house-owner will steal your stuff and fuck off, an armed burgular with his life at risk will shoot you and still steal your stuff. Sure you may get lucky and shoot him first but maybe you're not so lucky the next time.
Who cares if your stuff is stolen provided you survive. You do have insurance, I take it.
Not logical really, you're explaining a point I've already explained.Originally Posted by Busyman
I couldn't care if you think it's a burden to feel this way or not, my point is that I have absolutely no desire to be in the clutches this very different mentality.
You live in dreamland if you think people just come to steal property.Originally Posted by manker
It seems to me that folks of your ilk seize any chance to belittle minor points.
You conveniently left out the fact that by having an alarm the the chances of being burgled are severely lessened but yet hone in on the notion of a burglar shooting 'cause I showed a gun.
Me being somewhat streetwise, I wouldn't play that card unless I have to. I don't have guns just to protect my shit. I have it to protect my family so having a gun doesn't increase my chances but brandishing it willy-nilly does.
For example, in a car-jacking...take the fucking car even if I have a gun.
You folks assume...gun = smoke'em if you got 'em
Example if someone broke into my house downstairs then I would immediately huddle my family in one room, get my gun, and have my lady call the police while I train the gun on the door. Soon I'll have a key chain panic button.
I don't go investigating like teh movies. If I'm shot, what protection does that leave my family?

You called it oppressive yet there is no oppression.Originally Posted by manker
Tbh when I read about 2 home invasions where everyone was killed, it changed my preparedness.
One in particular had 2 gentlemen breaking in a house of 7 people and all of them were killed (they weren't sleep). Very isolated incident yet I'm a just in case kinda guy and don't want to be "the isolated incident".
