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?
My neighbors who are obsessed with home invasion, and own guns to deter such a threat, also leave their huge Ford F150s unlocked with the key in the ignition. Like last year (?) a group of people took the cars and went on a joyride, dropping the cars back off in the morning (they know this because they have one of those ring cameras or something). They blame "gangbangers" from the poc majority city that's like at least half an hour away by highway for this.
I don't understand how someone so concerned about home invasion can leave their car not only unlocked, but with the keys just sitting there in the ignition
yeah I'm sure Black people living a half hour down the highway are coming to some horrible little suburban wasteland (and not the equally horrible suburban wastes located much closer to the city, nor just going to the wealthier areas of said city) to take your car for a joyride for a single night. It was absolutely just local high schoolers. I say that as someone who not only finds the "gangbanger" thesis absurd, but as someone who was also a local high schooler at one point and knows what these kids get up to.
