Every chud in my life is obsessed with someone breaking into their house and the situation being resolved with the discharge of a firearm. And these are people living in low crime areas out in the suburbs, with no pedestrians. It's frustrating to talk with these people since their whole worldview is a racist panic over some imagined brown interloper invading their white fortresses.
One of my coworkers tells me he always pulls out his Glock to check the corners when he comes home in the evening. Another has a CCTV system and an AR15 by his bed. I personally don't own a gun anymore because I don't trust myself with one, and chuds will ask me what I'll do if some mentally unwell person high on amphetamines decided to enter my apartment. I guess I'd leave or call an ambulance? It seems so unlikely of a scenario that even if I had a firearm I probably wouldn't use it right, or even register this person as a threat quickly enough to do a John Wick style takedown.
How many home invasions are actually stopped this way? Do chuds all think they're Robocop?
It's something I'm worried about but specifically I'm worried about people thinking I'm too gay looking or something and trying to lynch me. I've had some weird and scary interactions with people up on the mountain where my parents live.
Yeah this is a much more legitimate worry to have and a good reason to have a firearm and training. Not to make you more worried though
I have a trans flag on my bike and I sometimes get worried I'll go out of the store to find it's been vandalized and someone's hiding nearby to beat me up. Most I've gotten is dirty looks tho
