im curious where you live where home invasions dont happen. i live in one of the safest states in the US and home invasions happen here.
people actually do commit random violence in home invasions by the way. your having chosen not to look into it at all or read the news ever doesnt negate this. its to say that random violence in home invasions is common, but the point is that it does happen. and i think people should have a very effective means to defend themselves.
theres even been a serial killer that committed home invasions by claiming to be police upon breaking in. this also happened recently with those politicians that got assassinated.
if you dont want to have a firearm thats your choice. dont see why you think this is necessary for other people though.
of course home invasions happen, but they’re rare. and the number involving guns is much smaller. look up the statistics instead of getting scared watching the news.
so a police officer shows up at your door. you’re going to greet them with a gun drawn? that will get you killed.
i do own a firearm, but i don’t walk around with it like a cowboy. and i discourage others because of all the risks mentioned.
As of 2010, about a million home invasions per year in the US, 250k of which end up with the occupier (owner, renter) being a victim of some violent crime.
Not a lot ending in death though.
Also I think the numbers went down a bit from 2010.
lol. a threat of violence can exist without the gun. im glad you are confident in your ability to beat any random, unknown stranger (especially tweakers) in a tussle. as someone with bjj and boxing experience i would say this is unbelievably arrogant though.
>look up the statistics instead of getting scared watching the news.
ive seen the same ones that the other guy replied to you with. this is almost not worth replying to because you are just being snide and dismissive. to reciprocate, do you realize that the statistics (which you havent actually read) aren't the governing force of what happens to you in your life? statistics are a model of reality.
for example, what do you think the odds would say that between when i replied to your post yesterday and now, that i experienced a break in where someone was trying to climb into my son's room at 3 in the morning? do you think my first thought was about the statistical likelihood of it? for the record i live in one of the safest states in the US. life isn't a spreadsheet with numbers on it, genius. if you are comforted by those numbers, good for you. telling others to not be scared of bad things happening to them is peak dork arrogance.
people have such insane opinions on this despite the knowledge out there. there are so many videos of self defense shootings out there now, including videos with analysis etc.
people posting talking about combat rolling and chambering after their assailant misses a shot. what the fuck lmao
> people posting talking about combat rolling and chambering after their assailant misses a shot. what the fuck lmao
I generally try to show them a little bit of grace. For many people their sole exposure to firearms is through video games, movies, and television shows. They have a strong "knowledge" of how things work and genuinely have no idea that their ideas are at odds with reality. Its similar to how non-tech people think "hacking" works.
there are hundreds upon hundreds of videos online of self defense shootings, including some where the victim draws second and successfully defends against a shooter. a lot of them happen in brazil too. coming to a thread about guns to state a ridiculous opinion about conceal carry strikes me as something someone mentally ill would do.
>The study, reported in Nature Human Behaviour, was designed to test the effects of the four-day workweek with no reduction in pay.
>The researchers compared work and health-related indicators – including burnout, job satisfaction, and mental and physical health – before and after the intervention using survey data.
so they surveyed people after having them work less about whether or not they liked working less and getting paid the same? wow thats pretty compelling stuff there. maybe we could see if a 1 day work week "RULES" next
I work 5 days a week and I like my work. But my feeling is that it is too much. My job is demanding enough thst I can't really do a lot on workdays that isn't work related. On saturday I have to do my private shit (cleaning, other chores) which leaves sunday for my real interest stuff. On Monday I am rarely truly rested.
I am pretty sure that is neither in my, nor my employers interest. Since my work quality goes down if I am fatigued. If things continue like this I am going into a burn out and then good luck to them. A 4-day week would be interesting because then I'd have at least a chance to get rest over the weekend.
so you dont have these sorts of housing projects in your area and are telling the guy who grew up around them how they actually work?
people wonder why these projects get shot down so often. there's no accountability for the people that move into the units and then people just pretend junkies and dealers dont end up in these units. a lot of these affordable housing projects have "housing first" units baked into their plans which is a type of unit that houses active junkies and refuses to kick them out for any reason. thats the type of stuff people are afraid of. nobody wants to live around drug dealers and tweakers especially if they have kids.
>me? find a gal? nope siree. i simply have too many video games to play and anime to watch! this wolf rides solo. at the end of the day i simply couldnt imagine myself with a sweet little missus in my arms... honestly, i retch at the thought! id much rather hotglue my hatsune miku figurine
trust me brother, the day will come when video games, anime, and surrogate friendships get boring. the copes and distractions dont last forever.
It's not as if these men have willing marriageable women queueing up at their door.
They have not chosen to forego marriage and family in pursuit of these pointless nihilistic hedonistic hobbies. They seek comfort in them because marriage and family are unattainable.
