Ways to protect yourself without a gun

[Anonymous]

I'll be in my bunker...surrounded by a wall of impenetrable TP wall. They will not shoot me then. They will start carrying out my humongo packets of Costco TPs...

Once the desperate looter will be able to take a worry-free dump and clean their butts with cloud like softness of Charmin...they will be in too good a mood to be angry and go looting and pillaging again.

Blasting these kids with an AK47 or even with a handgun would just suck. Sure, arrest them (and they were arrested) and send them to juvie.

Nah, if they're in my house, I'm shooting them.

Holy cr@p. This is why people like you shouldn’t have guns period.

DP. If someone breaks into my house, I’m not gonna check if they’re 16 or 18 and politely ask if they’re underaged. Not with my 2 kids at risk. You’re insane for letting someone rob you and just brush it off.

Wasp or bug spray aerosol at their eyes. Widely used in my hometown for people who couldn't or didn't want to use guns.

Once a guy is within six feet of you a gun is useless to you (cop here). That's why there's a great deal of time spent on defense training in police academy because you have to go hands on with people if they get that close to you. I took Krav and would recommend that if you want to learn how to defend yourself without a gun or pepper spray. Prior to the academy I had never been in a fight so it was good to get hit there before going through academy. Some of the techniques have helped in my job and it's a great workout too!

This x1,000.

Also the pp on page 3 or 4 who said the looters (if that ever happens) will be storming Safeway and pharmacies. They aren’t coming for your beanie baby collection. They can’t pawn your jewelry or tv if the pawn shops are closed.

I will surrender. I have already thought about it.

Recipe -
-Take two White T-Shirts

-Make no-sew mask out of one.

- Tie the other on the mop handle and wave it in the face of the looters.

Stop calling people insane, it’s not a good look for someone who’s trying to appear rational.

So your stuff is more important to you than taking someone’s life. Got it.

A good door with a good set of locks and bars on the windows. If my house looks harder to break into than my neighbors', I am not that worried about the need to defend myself in my home.

Can I also use a hammer to put out a kitchen fire?


No?


So I guess that would be about as dumb as using bug spray to stop a home invader.

You obviously failed Analogies 101.

+1. I have a good security system with glass break and motion alarms. When an intruder asks me to turn the howling sirens off, I can enter a secret code that lets the company know I’m in a home invader situation. The cops can arrest them as they leave.

Unlike pp, I’m not up for blowing the heads off teens.

Pp again. That is, if they don’t leave when the sirens go off. Both floors and my basement are protected by the system.

It’s a perfect analogy.

Tell us why you think it’s a failed one please.

So the sirens will do what, exactly?

Deafen them to death?

Are you Donald of the “perfect” everything?

Metal doesn’t put out fires. Bug spray in the eyes can stop a human. Both of these things are known by toddlers.
