Do you lock the door to your home at night?
In Boy Scouts, we have a motto, "Be prepared." Why do anti-2A people regularly belittle people who carry guns? How is it any different than carrying a pocket knife or locking your doors? You are preparing for any situation the world might throw at you. The likelihood that someone will break into your home is low, so why lock the door? Is it an emotional support lock?
- dev_slash_null 3y agoLocking your door at night is extremely unlikely to have any life threatening downsides. I suppose you could concoct a scenario where you live with someone with an altered mental status and the locked door prevents them from escaping during a fire, but that's reaching.
- tristan957 3y agoA gun at rest, which this case was, is also extremely unlikely to have any life threatening downsides. What is your point?
- dev_slash_null 3y agoAre you trying to claim that locking your door at night, and carrying a firearm daily, both result in the same amount of risk of life threatening downsides? Because I would very much disagree with that statement.
- tristan957 3y agoYes, because a gun that sits in a holster with a safety on is just as likely to kill you as a door is. Guns don't shoot themselves.
