I have never owned a firearm. I don't like hunting. If I were going to get one, I would buy a handgun to protect my house. I guess I've just never felt one necessary.
so what you gonna do WTSHTF...TALK the bad guys to death?
When has shtf before in yours or my lifetime?
Tom, if you don't like guns or just don't think they're necessary...it's cool. There are lots of weapons to choose from. Most people never need a firearm to protect themselves, right up to the point when they do. And then if they don't have one.....well.I have never owned a firearm. I don't like hunting. If I were going to get one, I would buy a handgun to protect my house. I guess I've just never felt one necessary.
SHTF doesn't always mean an end-of-the-world type of event. It can be a multi-week kind of disaster or an event that lasts only a few minutes. I've seen plenty of SHTF type of events of the short duration type. Some close, some far away. That's why most of us are on this page. To learn some good ideas so we can be ready if an SHTF event lands in our lap.When has shtf before in yours or my lifetime?
Good for you. In a free country you have that choice.I have never owned a firearm. I don't like hunting. If I were going to get one, I would buy a handgun to protect my house. I guess I've just never felt one necessary.
I don't think owning a gun is an unwise thing. Sorry that you do.I have never owned a firearm. I don't like hunting. If I were going to get one, I would buy a handgun to protect my house. I guess I've just never felt one necessary.
Millions of Americans feel the same way Tom but, that doesn't make them right. My very good friend felt that way until two gentlemen broke into her house and attempted to rape her. Her gun nut neighbor shot one in the back before they could get started. She was stripped and tied down face first on the bed. She tried telling them that she was a Christian and that if they just took what they wanted she would look away. They wanted to rape her. There was no other evidence that they wanted to burglarize the house. They both had shaved themselves head to toe and had condoms and knives. This friend of mine was my client immediately after this event, I was her contracted protector for two years after and handled her protection training, we became good friends during this time. She still sends clients my way and I love her to death. She had several chances to defend herself to be proactive instead of passive. Hell, she let them into her house because they had broke down and needed a phone. They went as far as to leave one outside so she felt safe. He was simply watching out while the other struck her and tied her down. Her neighbor luckily saw through her window what was happening called 911 and left the phone off the hook, got his hand gun, and went to help. After the full investigation they found that these two intended to kill her after. This hasn't happened to you so you have no reason to take any precautions but, I hope you will. I don't need another client like her but, I'm always ready to make a friend.

Even if she was able to call the police, it would have taken them too long to get there. This is why a good guy with a gun is the best defense against a bad guy with a gun, and also why I think fully automatic weapons should be allowed for U.S. citizens with perfectly clean records.

the only time I ever used f-auto in the Military was sweeping the jungle in hopes to suppress an unseen shooter (it worked but never did find the shooter) aside from that I never really used f-auto in a fire fight.
