>>2820933>>2820918>>2823628I'm always fucking weirded out by standard gun discussion.
I am not against guns, and think they are quite fun toys, but like... I'm not buying one for self defense. I have to defend myself once every maaaaybe decade or so. I'm not getting a handgun. It's pointless for me, and will be pointless until I have to resist muggers on a yearly basis.
And those times I -did- have to defend myself? It went fuckin' fine. My largest opponents are like, dogs and humans, who both go down to being struck on the head with a pack full of books or cans or whatever the fuck else.
Honestly, the only reason I think guns are even entertained is because trapping has been made illegal in so many places. I would vastly prefer a pit of spikes and a few landmines to a gun in almost any defensive situation.
