My brother walked in on a home invasion in progress the other night...

No my opinion is like saying "be vigilant and drive defensively because drunk drivers are out there." Your opinion is like saying "I'm scared of drunk drivers so I'm gonna get the biggest SUV Hummer makes so no one tries to fug with me."

How can you be vigilant and defensive if you dont buy the car first? Im saying Im gonna buy and car with safety features cause you cant know everything thats gonna happen.

Let me put to you this way.

One time a guy blocked my car in and got out with a baseball bat saying I was bright lighting him. I let him rant then I just showed him my gun. He paused and let me leave.

Now this next time I was at my resturant business and this guy who smelled of liquor just lost it and said we were trying to scam him. I told him we were not and he didnt have to pay for it if he did not want it. He kept ranting and I kept talking to him till I calmed him down. He paid for the plate and left. Now all the while I did have my gun but in that situation it would have just made things worse. Even threating to call the cops would have.

So that's why I say every situation calls for a different approach but that dose not mean you don't want to have the option.

You needed a gun to handle an idiot with a baseball bat?

I have yet to learn the ways of Chuck Norris.

I know you're joking, but you should learn the ways of Chuck Norris. Everyone should. Your wife (or partner, i don't know), your kids. Everyone should learn to protect themselves with the weapons God gave them. That's all I'm saying. Learn what else it out there, what other means there are to protect yourself, and you will quickly realize how unnecessary a gun can be. More times than not it just escalates a bad situation.

p.s. You don't need to be Chuck Norris to handle an a-hole with a bat. Simple physics, the closer you get to the person swinging the bat, the less velocity is behind it. Get close and the dude with the bat is about to have a bad day.

Wake up people. Guns are the answer. They're totems that give you a false boost in confidence and a feeling of invincibility that will probably get you killed.

pretty sure you meant aren't the answer up there...and if so, I am with you 100%!

[Captroop]

Yes, I meant guns aren't the answer. Except from bears. If I see a bear and you have a gun, me= your new best friend.

[TheSaint]

I told my brother he should have carried his MW2, combat knife. He could have killed both dudes from 20 feet away while laying on the floor.....

assuming he didnt have his Akimbo 1857

[The Link]

[ChucktownK]

Better be careful. Chucktown is gonna bust in here saying you deserve to have a gun put in your mouth.

Step. Away. From. Dojo...

Guns may not be the answer, but they can certainly turn the tides rather quickly if you are in trouble. I keep one under my bed, and if I hear an intruder, I will not be heading out there with nothing in my hand but a dick. Nor will I just cower in the corner of my room, and hope the cops make it in time, or that the intruder is a nice person that just needs drug money.

If he cracks open the bedroom door, he will die.

Never really thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense.

Although not many people carry bats around these days.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Unless he flips it and uses it as a spear/battering ram. There are other ways to use bats as a weapon/defense other than swinging for a home run.

[TarPanther9180]

This is why I carry nunchucks around
