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?
Not personally no, but we did gave a door to door security system salesman try and sell us on the fact that a "crime wave was moving into our area" like it was some sort of high pressure front, we laughed in his face.
Reminds me of when I lived with my in-laws a few years ago. I was working nights so I was the only one home. He came by saying a bunch of "illegal Mexicans" were moving down the street and crime was on the rise. I just told him we weren't interested. Little did he know I was the only white guy there0 living with a bunchs of Colombians and a Mexican guy lol. There also was less crime starting around that time than years before.
