If You Have A Shotgun

[trimmer21]

From reading the posts it seems some people almost wish this would happen or at least spend a lot of time fantasizing about it. The only thing missing is someone advising the nonsense of taking a kitchen knife and placing it in the dead perp's hand.

If you are serious about the subject you will improve your home security, consult a lawyer on how to conduct yourself in the aftermath and never post anything on line that might be used in court by the Crown to demonstrate intent if the police seize your phone and computers as part of their investigation.

Actually,if a neighborhood was prone to home invasions,I'd rather move to a better 'hood.

Just to show you what goes on down here - On Sunday June 20 , in Carlisle, Ohio, two armed men allegedly entered a pizza business, attempting to rob it. The men, one of them wielding a large crowbar and the second a knife, sprinted toward the employees. An employee who is also a concealed carrier pulled his firearm and shot one of the attackers.The second suspect ran out of the business and was still on the run, according to the sheriffs office. In January Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed an expanded stand-your-ground law that said "a person has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person's residence if that person is in a place which the person lawfully has a right to be." Accordingly, no charges are expected to be filed against the employee. (foxiness.com and who.com, New Caslisle, Ohio 6/20/21

So you see one doesn't have to be limited on how he or she is going to defend themselves - the crooks had a crowbar and a knife - the good guy had a gun - guess who won - studies indicate that firearms are used more than 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances

It's always safer when one can defend themselves

Stupid comparison.

Toronto has guns and gang crime, Haines Junction Yukon does not, there are more guns in Haines Junction therefore guns are good.

You are not going to win anyone over using stupid data that does not compare.

Really? Comparing Chicago to Maine? My comparison seems pretty damn accurate.

So your admitting, more guns, less crime? Thanks

The point that you seem to keep missing is that the city with the most restrictive gun laws also has the highest rate of gun crimes in the state by a long shot, it's not even close. Their violent crime rate is 943 per 100k while the national average is 379. Obviously the only benefit for strict gun control is for criminals.
Check these stats out if you want accuracy.

It’s all about demographics!!!! Not to mention, Chicago has about twice the population as Maine.
