yesmanGun manufacturers are having a great year.
Yeah you’re right, instead I should trust that the police will use restraint, arrive instantly, and do the right thing 🤡
A dog is much better protection than a gun.
A claw hammer would be a better option than a gun. Why does everyone assume that a gun would be the best thing to defend your home with.
Think to yourself for two seconds why a gun would be better for self-defense than a hammer.
What advantage does a hammer have over a gun in a moment of self-defense?
I can grab it at a moments notice as it can safely be left out, you don’t have to load it or aim it so using it is fast and simple. If its my home they’re invading I know where to hide. I trust my ability to swing and hit someone in a panic far more than I do my ability to handle a gun under the same pressure.
Unlike you, I actually train with my gun so we have very different concerns when under pressure. Mine relate more to not getting killed to make some kind of moral stand avoid how guns are bad in all contexts.
Brother I aint said shit about how I feel about gun ownership, you read into that. I’m just pointing out that I really do think a claw hammer is just an overall more utilitarian self defense weapon.
Okay fair enough. I would agree it’s definitely better than something unwieldy like an AR, but personally I’d rather have a handgun than a hammer. If someone’s breaking into my house and actively snooping around such that simply hiding and waiting for them to leave isn’t going to keep me safe, then there’s an above normal (but probably not strictly likely) chance that they’re on some kind of stimulant. A hammer may or may not put them down. A few hollow points tearing through their chest cavity probably will. Hammer definitely isn’t bad, but I personally think the odds are stronger with a handgun.
