I’m far away from a gun nut. I don’t see the need to carry and I am more worried about getting shot by the police because I both “fit the description” and “don’t look like I belong” in my own neighborhood than I am a criminal shooting me. But I very much believe in gun ownership in the home - especially properly secured.
If someone breaks into my home, they prima facie mean me harm. They will get shot without a second thought or ounce of remorse. What am I suppose to do? Wait on the police to show up?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoYes, that’s exactly what you should do. Breaking in followed by violence are mostly an imaginary problem anyway. You are far more likely to mistakenly shoot someone who incorrectly thought was breaking in than ever having to defend yourself.
- scarface74 4y agoSo I’m suppose to ask someone who broke in my house “do you mean me harm”? There are only two other people who should come in my house unannounced and as soon as they come in the alarm will sound and they know how to turn it off. One of those people sleep next to me. If you’re breaking in, I’m assuming violence. The odds of burglary is 1/36 https://policyadvice.net/insurance/insights/burglary-statistics/ https://policyadvice.net/insurance/insights/burglary-statist...

- scarface74 4y agoWhat exactly should I do when an armed invader come into my house while I’m there? Are the police going to get there in time? Is the person just going to say “my bad” and peacefully leave? Are we going to sit down and have a beer together?
