Burglers typically don't want to encounter anyone home. They usually strike when they believe no one is home. You can't go hauling off people's silverware quietly if you encounter a resident inside.

True, but the reduction in crime in every state that allows concealed carry is noticeable, and significant.


Please also show that in these places women are also less likely to be raped or assaulted because they have a means to defend themselves, guns are an equalizer and keep a lot of people safe.

@byron

It's called trigger discipline and target identification, any intelligent gun owner is not going to just shoot anything that moves or fire at shadows like an idiot. It's why people practice and train, no point in defending your home if your not going to do it right. Shooting your pet, spouse, family, friends, etc because you failed to identify your target is a major fuck up.

Why do you think people buy laser sights, lights, and other accessories ? no one wants to shoot the wrong target when it comes down to it.

That's why you have a laser/light so you know what your shooting, and I have had to use a gun to keep someone else and myself safe before so yeah I do know what I am talking about.

Waking up to a break in is not good but if you got training and follow it your not going to make stupid mistakes, it's more then practicing at the gun range, the offer many training classes on dealing with home invasions and being prepared when out and about.

@byron

FYI I also work as an armed guard so not only do I practice for myself but also for my career, you can never get enough practice or training.

The logic that there's no point to owning a gun because you won't be able to stop a serious enough invasion is like saying there's no point to wearing a seatbelt because you won't survive a really bad crash anyway.

What it boils down to is... if you don't see the point in owning a gun, don't buy one. You don't, however, get to tell other people what they do and do not need. It's simply none of your business.

You just got a lot of somewhat serious posts to respond to man, since a lot of people dont seem to agree with you here. Dont get lost in the trenches.

A gun is an equalizer and it gives you a fighting chance. If some brute broke into your house, police can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes to get to you. That is IF you are able to call, report and hide before he finds you. A gun gives an even playing field. With TCs example, do you think you'll survive without a gun? No, no, no, no. You're done if that scenario happens. With a gun, you can at least put up a fight.

You're probably more likely to shoot your spouse or kid than a burglar.

You're also more likely to die from medical malpractice than from a firearm.

5 times as likely, as a matter of fact, including suicide.

I have seen some stupid shit posted but your is up there, being an armed guard is not being a "rent a cop", it depends on what you do, where you work, and what certifications, clearances you have.

Not everyone can or does get to be an armed security guard, there is a lot of paperwork, and screening to get through to prove you can be trusted to have a gun on the job.

Finger printing, atleast two interviews with a police officer, qualifying at the range with a score of 70% or higher(some places require 85% or 90%),and background checks.

It's not so simple, and easy, also my encounter with that gang was long before I was in my career but I had been in 4 years of JROTC, always have been a big fan of self defense and protecting others.

No one starts good at anything but people who actually want to do well at their job or know how to defend themselves the right way will get trained and educated not just think buying a gun is enough.

semi automatic shotgun

Manufacturer and model, please.

Tavor TS12

$1400?

It was a little less than that but yeah it was stupid expensive. I was actually at the shop looking to buy a Taurus Judge (I was basically shopping for a ridiculous gun just for shooting). I didn't like the one they had and some dude walked out of the back with the Tavor and when he started talking about being able to load both sides with different shells I almost creamed.
