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?

    Idk dude good robbers can definitely haul out a lot of shit really quickly, would like to see a source on the drug thing. Most people that I've known that have been robbed lost shit like laptops/elecronics, work tools, cash and shit sometimes even furniture.

    Like Ryan above said they're normally in broad daylight and most of the time neighbours etc don't even know it's happening or just think it's a family member or friend taking shit etc.

      I wouldn't rule not family members or friends taking shit being the case but I was talking about how it is more locally than what others deal with. I'm in a season 2 of the wire kinda locale though, so robberies are generally targeted cause a neighborhood you could involve a car in conspicuously is too poor to hit at random or too nosey to not get caught.
