So all this talk about guns has got me thinking, I want one. Mostly because I spend nights alone and well, because I don't want to find myself in a situation where I can't defend myself. My dog is old and blind now :( he's no help and I'm not getting a scary dog anytime soon. Figured If the crazies have guns, no reason I shouldn't be able to own one myself.
I'm curious if any of your women own guns? I'm a pretty good shot at the range so I'm ready for it.- buy a machetemoldero
- Shellie doespango
- Definitely get an AR15. Great to have lying around. Perfect for murdering robbers, and much better than a small dog.monospaced
- Lolsea_sea
- sorrymonospaced
- A machete? That's a thought. I do have at bat at both my front and bedroom door, maybe a machete would work better. lolsea_sea
- sea_sea passes our background check for a gunpinkfloyd
- @sea_sea who are you afraid of coming to attack you???chukkaphob
- Lol the neighbors are that bad huhsince1979
- Chukka it's not about who is coming, don't necessarily think anyone is. But I'm a libertarian and I do believe I can do whatever tf I please in my house. ;)sea_sea
- @sea but you said the reason why was "because I don't want to find myself in a situation where I can't defend myself" :)chukkaphob
- Also, grew up in Mexico and in the city streets, i know how to look out for myself, that said, if you don't see the need to at least know how to handle a gun...sea_sea
- Well then that's your choice. Guns aren't just for the wack jobs, they also protect people.sea_sea
- I dated a girl who had a beautiful chrome .25 that fit in her silver clutch, kinds like this, http://media.liveauc…robotron3k
- Chukka I'm alone most nights. The neighborhood is slowly going to shit around me. I can't afford to move right now. It's just a precaution.sea_sea
- Sorry if I snapped, I've been on edge since last night, fkn neighbors. lolsea_sea
- Nice robo, thanks. I can't get a ccp because I live in CA. But that's what I'm talking about.sea_sea
- .380 or .9
ide sell you my ruger 44mag super blackhawk, if you want to be intimidating as all hell but it would go through like 10 houses.moldero - Hahahasea_sea
- How about self defense training?dyspl

- those afraid of lethal fire arms could always go try this: https://www.saltsupp…BabySnakes
- Fake guns are dangerous... 100% of the gun fight that involves fake guns. The victim is always the one with the fake gun...pango
- Fucking silly liberals...the bunch of you. Go out buy a Bazooka, they take care business.utopian
- What's with CA and no cop?pango
- It's people like you empowering the downward spiral.mekk

- If you got a gun, and you defended yourself, could you live with the memory of seeing someone bleed to death?shapesalad
- How do you feel about killing and death? Ever caught a big fish and hit it over it's head? Killed a chicken? Pig?shapesalad
- If you believe that you can do what you what in your own house then why not go the whole Magilla and get a fucking Barrett.face_melter
- Because if you're already with the mindset of killing someone then you may as well make it as noisy and messy as possible. Just so you remember. Always.face_melter
- sea_sea i'm with you, ignore the noise, I would look for online reviews or go into a shop to ask what they recommend. Also consider martial arts. stay safe :)sofas
- and no, my women don't own guns. We live in a country that chose not to mistrust everyone by defaultmekk
- You just explained the infinite spiral of guns in USA with this post sea_sea. Everyone want a gun because everyone want a gun.Bennn
- move somewhere where you don't need a gun.oey
- Ha was gonna say - move.jagara
- wear a bullet proof vest 24/7?shapesalad
- Ask your local gun shop for all the empty high calibre ammo boxes, place them out front your place.shapesalad
- or this?https://www.bor...shapesalad
- boring co flamethrower?shapesalad
- "If you got a gun, and you defended yourself, could you live with the memory of seeing someone bleed to death?" If they attacked, literally zero prob at all.detritus
- Getting a gun always ends well.desmo
- ^ agree. research crime to death rates in the US versus in regions where guns aren't legal. check the stats.umbee54
- get something you can load / unload quickly C's... something that'll slip into a bag quickly etc... a Rohrbaugh R9 would be great but you're in CA, yes?PonyBoy
- don't fuck about with pistols - get a double barrel shotgun and saw the barrel and stock off. tons of noise, tons of spread, easy to wield. mad max style.hans_glib
- Thanks guys, some of you get me. I knew this would rattle some of you, we can also spend years debating why you think I'm wrong.sea_sea
- shapesalad can't sleep at nights if he steps on an antpinkfloyd
- Like I mentioned before, moving is not an option. At least not now. Self defense is something I'm looking into as well so thanks for that.sea_sea
- Love the comments, either "Don't get one, no need to" or "Go loud or go home".Maaku
- Thanks ponyb, yes I'm in CA.
Pago, a ccp is a conceal carry permit. I can't walk around with a gun in my bag in CA. I don't need that, I just want it at home.sea_sea - curious, would you describe the exact scenario that unfolds that prompts you to use a gun? someone breaking in your house to kill you???? why?? what for???chukkaphob
- ^ honest question...and hope you asnwer. Is there really a reason for someone to break into your house and threaten your life? you have such enemies???chukkaphob
- or if they were coming to say rob you, does that warrant drawing a gun???? really curious to hear your answers.chukkaphob
- did you read her post idiot? her neighborhood is getting dangerouspinkfloyd
- @pinkfloyd it makes you sound very Intelligent when namecaling. Bravo.chukkaphob
- @pinkfloyd also, there should be a comma before "idiot"chukkaphob
- that's why I make the big buckspinkfloyd
- @pinkfloyd also, I'm asking her to qualify what constitutes "dangerous."chukkaphob
- ...there's a huge difference between someone wanting to hurt you and someone wanting to steal your toasterchukkaphob
- people don't break into houses over a toasterpinkfloyd
- Chukka, not really expecting anyone to come in for the kill yet. lol but there are certain concerns that come along with being a woman who is alone at night.sea_sea
- @sea_sea sounds like your best bet is trying to move to a different neighborhood (I know you said you can't afford it, but maybe do more research?)chukkaphob
- two birds https://imgur.com/K9…PeterPancake
- Sea_sea, get anything that makes you feel safe and comfortable.Maaku
- @sea_sea having a loaded gun next to you to protect yourself from people trying to hurt you doesn't sound like a comfoorting lifestyle either, does it really?chukkaphob
- anyway, hope you find a sensible solution . best wishes :)chukkaphob
- I don't have a problem with certain guns chukka. I grew up around them. I do have a problem with humans who use them to kill inocente people or animals.sea_sea
- C's... you might want to just look into a cheepo 12 gauge shotgun if it's just home 'ready' use you need. Accuracy schmacuracy... aim and shoot. CC=safe. :)PonyBoy
- I'm not trying to get a gun so I can flash it on Instagram btw.sea_sea
- Also, thanks maaku, I will.
And thanks pink and sobas you got my post. xosea_sea - please please stop explaining yourself, sea_sea!! Not YOU... please don't get sucked into the BS judgement of this place. You have a legit concern and request.PonyBoy
- besides @Morning_star's good camera suggestion (fake or real cameras), a security company sign/sticker could help deter, even if it isn't sincere (e.g. stolen)sofas
- ^ fake sensors might be more tricky if an intruder expects an alarm and one doesn't go offsofas
- studies show that a dog, ANY dog, not a big scary one, even just a little ankle-biting fucker, will deter something like 95% of all intrudersmonospaced
- +1 on the dog. Get an English stafordshire. They're very good dogs, and they are very good at guarding homes and their people.dyspl
- Little dogs moreso. My father's neighbour was broken into a few years back and the thieves fed their big daft dog ham from their fridge, quietening it utterlydetritus
- ..all the while, the little yappy dog my dad had was being a total loud cunt all night. We had no idea why, and I was fucking irate, not being able to sleep.detritus
- (I happened to be staying their at the time)detritus
- Sorry - neighbours were IN their house at the time, as we were in ours. We were quite shook up when we realised the day after.detritus
- Eh... we had a prowler at my old house and the dog didn't make a noise. I try to sneak in w/out waking up the wife and the dog goes nuts. :/PonyBoy
- I think qbn is a very good stress test for anyone who wants to buy a gun.pango
- I have an English bull terrier, she's old and deaf now, a very sweet dog, friendly with people coming. But she showed a sens of guarding "us" a few times,dyspl
- Growling at silhouettes showing at a hotel window, or running to a room where a shutter had slapped and surprised me.dyspl
- time for an electric fence type security on your doors and windows :)chukkaphob
