Ya'll are just joking right?
Nope.

Where do you all live that you would live in this kind of fear?
The World. It's a dangerous place. I live in a bit known as Bumfuck Dipshit Appalachia. Lotsa meth-headed White Trash, with more recently a smattering of MS-13 and Latin Kings thrown in for fun. Besides which, my decision to be armed is no more a reaction to fear than is my decision to keep a fire-extinguisher in my car. Better to have and not need, after all...

The most deadly weapon that ever finds it's way to MY nightstand is my nail file.
I can help you with that. No woman has any business being unarmed.

Quote:
Why not just have some pepper spray?
Because I don't feel inclined to trust my life to a tin of seasoning which frequently doesn't work thanks to incidental, accidental, or intentional prior exposure, PCP use, drunkenness, etc, which is easily fired at onesself under stress (not so with a pistol), and which has an expiration date. As Calvin once so wisely put it; "never take chances on a product which prints the date you might expire." Besides all this, someone who breaks into my home while I'm in it is posing a serious threat, and has no good reason to continue breathing my air.

who here has ever had anyone break into their home while they're there...ever
ME. Had somebody try to break into my house several years ago while I and my then-girlfriend were upstairs. The dog scared him away, but Step #2 was the Mossberg 12ga. If the dog hadn't been there, the 12ga would have been Step #1.
