Tpoppa Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 exactly. And then there is someone like me. I don't have a family. I'm a 5'3" 150lbs girl who lives by herself. Yes, my doors stay closed and locked at all times. But if by chance I get 3 guys who come into my house with knives or baseball bats, How do you expect me to defend myself?I had someone enter my apartment, while I was in bed.I grabbed my home defense peice and addressed the situation. In the Marines, I was taught a gun is not to be used as a threat...you draw a weapon with the intention of using it. I view guns as a last resort.When the a-hole got into my apartment, I was able to neutralize the threat while my gun remained concealed. He was lucky.

Lets say the Judge told the guys they were lucky Mr. Brown didn't kill them.One guy was lucky and got knocked out the other lost his balls...literally, and a nipple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I can guarantee you if someone comes in my house when I'm home they will not live to regret that decision and I will not lose one second of sleep over it I will not warn them or try to detain until the cops arrive. If they go in when I'm not home they will get to meet my dog and well let's just say she is not very fond of strangers entering her home.

Disclaimer Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm not for banning violent video games or violent movies, but I do think that seeing a behavior repeatedly makes people more comfortable with that behavior.This makes me a cold blooded killer.http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/JRMMiii/stats/303508079/xbox/j/k - I just wanted an excuse to post my BF3 stats in a relevant conversation. I should get an achievement for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 And THAT right there is how people NEED to be raised.Funny story...A good freind of mine keeps a shotgun in the house.About 2 years ago a crackhead broke into his house. At the exact moment of the breakin, my buddy was in his kitchen sharpening an ax. He is a contractor and uses the ax for tearing down walls, etc....when the police arrived said crackhead was on the ground with a very sharp ax at his neck. He was in tears and had literally pissed himself.99.9% of the time he would have grabbed the shotgun, unless he just happens to be holding an ax.Shit happens.

Disclaimer Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 But it's not like any lessons are learned when you pop a crackhead, or a drunk, or someone in a psychologically altered state... they won't remember that they were fractions of a second away from death.So, why not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
