My girlfriend wanted me to get one right in the beginning of the pandemic. Probably will never need to use it. The only scenario I see it being useful is if society completely falls apart and people start getting desperate.
- brk 6y agoOne of my neighbors contacted me early on in the pandemic about buying a gun as well. I told him, if things get to that level, just bring your family to my house because you're not going to go from never-owned-a-gun to sufficient-at-self-defense fast enough anyway.
- whoooooo123 6y agoTangential, but I highly recommend the YouTube channel Active Self Protection for all kinds of valuable information about self defense. (First lesson: real-world gun violence is never anything like in movies)
- TheBigSalad 6y agoI hear this argument a lot, but cmon. It's really not that hard
- akvadrako 6y agoWhat makes you say that? There is a big difference in lethality between a cop who practices in the shooting range regularly and the average criminal.
- medium_burrito 6y agoClearly you haven't seen the police qualifying at the range!
- giardini 6y agoYeah, the cop is much more likely to unload one or more high-capacity magazines than the bad guy is. But you're wrong in this way: shot-for-shot the cop is no more likely to hit a target than is a bad guy(BG). Difference is the cop won't quit shooting until he's out of ammo (likely multiple 20-round magazines) b/c he's required to stay at the scene, whereas the BG will (sensibly) leave ASAP.
