The point of having a self defense weapon (bat, golf clip, bear spray, gun, etc) in the home is never having to use it, but to be trained and practiced in its use should the need arise.

Similar to making the monthly or quarterly payments on your life insurance policy that you hope you will never have to use.

The problem with having weapons in the house, statistically is that they are more likely to be used against you. If you have a gun and the intruder has a gun, they are going to shoot you.

Hell I learned this in 8th grade Guidance class in the mid 80s. This has not changed.

So a baseball bat in the home is more likely to be used to beat/kill a family member than an intruder?


Sounds like a good case for not having baseball bats in the home.

Who do you imagine you’ll be shooting? Other than the people that whoever steals the gun from you shoots?

Whoever who is stupid enough to come inside uninvited at night.

They'd likely shoot you with your own gun faster than you could shoot them.

+100

Morons who think they’re going to awake from a dead sleep and have a chance against … who?

If they’re a thief they’re not bothering you or threatening you and you’re not going to know they were there and wouldn’t have much ground to shoot them if you did… someone who is coming to kill you isn’t going to be stopped by your groggy ass mishandling a gun you don’t know how to use.

This is fascinating to me….

Can you please explain for us how someone will be able to wake up from sleep and be instantly alert, coordinated and coherent and able to fight with their trusty baseball bat - BUT - if they’re awakened from sleep and grab a gun, they’re groggy and stuporous and ineffective, and totally incapable of handling a gun.


How’s this work?


Is the gun magic? Does it cast a slumber spell on its owner?


Seriously, I need to know how this works.

Rapist could break into anyone's home, idiot. One rape is too many.

Rapists could also not break into anyone’s home - you don’t really think it will happen to you, do you?

DP.

That is like asking: “why do you have an alarm system? You don’t really think it could happed to your house do you?”

No. There is a chance, albeit a small one, that someone will break into your house and an alarm is a deterrent and good in that off chance it happens.

The chance that someone breaks into your house specifically to harm or rape you is absurdly small. Getting a gun to shoot a stranger rapist is absurd. If you’re worried about sexual assault it’s probably going to be your kids coach.

If you want to take that chance for yourself, daughter, mother, or sister, that’s fine. You do you. Nobody can fix your stupidity. Right?

DP but PP is absolutely right. You are free to own a gun for whatever reason, provided you're not a felon. We are free to judge your uninformed reasons for owning one.

Felons are allowed firearms in their main dwelling for defensive purposes in many areas. Some states have some silly rules about that, but for the most part self-defense is still recognized albeit in a limited manner.

The prohibition on possession by felons is federal and does not provide for a “dwelling defense” exception.

Wrong. That's for purchasing, not possession.

State laws allow for possession on personal property, but still not for purchasing firearms or ammunition, so someone has to provide it to them.

Laws are being overturned for certain felons to vote again, and will be applied to purchasing firearms as well as cannot do one without the other, but that's still in the future for the most part.

See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) specifically prohibiting possession.

Doesn't matter, they are still allowed by state laws.

Whether or not that is true in terms of any given State, the federal prohibition on felons possessing firearms very much does matter — to the tune of significant legal exposure including but not limited to imprisonment for up to ten years per offense. No conflicting state law would bar federal prosecution.

Same argument could be used for abortion, etc. then. Slippery slope.

I could be wrong but I’m not sure there are any federal abortion prohibitions. So I don’t get the logic.

The relevant prior post(s) asserted that some alleged state laws permitted felons to possess firearms for self defense within their residence, and at least implied that such laws would overrule the federal felon in possession law.

This is incorrect as a matter of law.

It also is incorrect as a matter of fact, in that there appear to be five (or six if one counts Vermont) states that permit felons to possess firearms and/or obtain a permit to carry a firearm, but none of them appear to consider at-home defense a relevant factor, suggesting that the prior poster’s assertions, however sincere, are confabulated.

Interesting. Do you have a citation?

.Gov sites for each state. Have at it.

Sorry. Not that interested. The spot checking I did suggested that the “allowed” felon possession was not across the board but subject to various conditions.

Umm, yeah you clearly do.

I keep a guy inside my nightstand.

Do you think a rapist is going to break into your room?

Are you on a lot of meds?

Np. OMFG - you are seriously trying to minimize the rape of women in the U.S.??

Just WTAF is wrong with you !??!?

So, you DO think a rapist is going to break into your room?

Rapist could break into anyone's home, idiot. One rape is too many.

Rapists could also not break into anyone’s home - you don’t really think it will happen to you, do you?

DP.

That is like asking: “why do you have an alarm system? You don’t really think it could happed to your house do you?”

No. There is a chance, albeit a small one, that someone will break into your house and an alarm is a deterrent and good in that off chance it happens.

The chance that someone breaks into your house specifically to harm or rape you is absurdly small. Getting a gun to shoot a stranger rapist is absurd. If you’re worried about sexual assault it’s probably going to be your kids coach.

If you want to take that chance for yourself, daughter, mother, or sister, that’s fine. You do you. Nobody can fix your stupidity. Right?

DP but PP is absolutely right. You are free to own a gun for whatever reason, provided you're not a felon. We are free to judge your uninformed reasons for owning one.

Felons are allowed firearms in their main dwelling for defensive purposes in many areas. Some states have some silly rules about that, but for the most part self-defense is still recognized albeit in a limited manner.

The prohibition on possession by felons is federal and does not provide for a “dwelling defense” exception.

Wrong. That's for purchasing, not possession.

State laws allow for possession on personal property, but still not for purchasing firearms or ammunition, so someone has to provide it to them.

Laws are being overturned for certain felons to vote again, and will be applied to purchasing firearms as well as cannot do one without the other, but that's still in the future for the most part.
