Makes no real sense

The hero fantasy fetish is so weird to me. I really don't WANT to ever end up in a scenario where I would have to kill someone else, let alone make up outrageous possibilities.

stlavin95

Same here, some people are like that though

Cristofle

It's so strange to me! Like, there are stories of people seeing someone in their backyard and they immediately start shooting. WUT. I once saw a guy in my backyard, I turned the back light on, my dog barked, and he peaced out in about two seconds. I was perfectly fine and no one needed to get shot. How is this the go-to move?

stlavin95

No idea, that doesn't happen down here

Cristofle

Too many people see themselves as the hero of some ridiculous movie. And when you add a gun, that's a dangerous combination.

stlavin95

It really is

I honestly do not ever want to kill anyone??? I hope I am never placed in that situation and it would not be my go-to move? My preferred forms of self-defense are not lethal - I have a stun gun and pepper spray. I'm not sure I feel safe from myself with a gun? I always think, what if I completely misinterpret some situation because I'm scared. I can apologize for pepper spray a lot easier than a bullet.

Think my form of self defense is a cricket bat, lol

Cristofle

You can apologize for a cricket bat if you happen to be wrong too, lol. I did threaten a guy with my car once because he was trying to get in it, but all I had to do was say "Move or I will run you over." He moved. LOL.

stlavin95

Definitely, lol

I am not a law enforcement officer (not that they have the best track record). I’m not in the military. I’m not sure I should have a gun and I DEFINITELY shouldn’t have an AR-15.

stlavin95

I wouldn't even just a cop with one of those guns tbh

Cristofle

Well, we see what some cops do with guns :/ And then we see what they DON'T do re: Uvalde.

Very true
