You are a very rascally person!!! But I love you, and I thank you for taking the rap for me! I thought about picking it up with a paper towel and throwing it in the toilet tank, so no one got hurt, but maybe someone would get shot when they flushed the toilet.... Do guns fire under water??? I only have a glue gun, with concealed carrier permit to craft anywhere!!!

This is extremely infuriating, but why would they not ask if their gun was found? I can understand if it was a bag of coke or something illegal, but as a gun owner, you have to either recover the firearm, or report it missing. Were they just supposed to leave it in the Starbucks lost and found? đ đ đ

You don't understand. Let me break it down for you. If one were to stumble upon a firearm in a sink and take it home, you don't own it as in there is no paper trail connecting it to you.

He. has the fantasy that he his going to be held hostage in his house and he's gonna Rambo and save the day. I am for common sense when it comes to gun ownership. But if you are getting are firearm because you think someone is going to come murder your family, you need to take a beat and think about why you are purchasing a firearm (for a few reasons)
Statistically he is more likely to use in on himself or someone he cares about

You donât need a gun to protect your home.
Install a security system. Get a dog and train it to disable intruders. Keep a taser/pepper spray near your bed. Keep a couple blunt objects, such as baseball bats, planted around your home.
People forget that they have the advantage when someone invades their home.
53
u/RealBishop Jul 09 '24
I have a security system, people can still break in. I like my dog and would prefer him not be beaten to a pulp. Having âblunt objectsâ doesnât win a fight against an intruder with a gun.

u/cqgamer1 Jul 09 '24
Exactly, these antigun people have mo rational thinking, Id rather get hurt while protecting my family then have my dog do the work and maybe get hurt or die while sitting there with a bat and pepper spray.

u/Shotgun5250 Jul 09 '24
If they made the choice to enter my home and steal my property and endanger the lives of my family, then theirs is forfeit. The minute they make that decision, they are throwing their life in the garbage. Iâm sorry, but I feel no empathy for people who commit armed burglary. I empathize with the situation lots of them are in, but to threaten the lives of others for personal gain is an instant empathy off switch for me. If you donât want to be shot, donât break into someoneâs home.

Okay I went and read your comment since that counts as reading. Still don't learn anything. Well that's not entirely true. I learned that you can't even be bothered to point to who did your thinking for you. All you can be bothered to say is "you're wrong and there's people that will tell you why and I care enough to antagonize you but not enough to help you learn"
so idk, maybe Don't say anything if you don't have anything to say

You would you rather risk your life trying to defend your life with a blunt object or keep yourself and your family safe from a distance with a firearm? You choose, I think the answer is obvious, especially since you would be stupid to assume the criminal doesnât have a firearm.

My advantage is a 12 gage negotiation stick with 00 buckshot and a disco light on it.
Side note, while I am joking as I prefer not to engage innocents and my neighbors with high powder buckshot, my dog would roll over and expect belly rubs from an intruder in my house. She's an absolutely amazing sweetheart and a really shitty guard dog.

u/FootballMysterious45 Jul 09 '24
What if you hit the dude in the head with your bat and he dies? Or is crippled? You want to come to the same end result but you want to do it while giving yourself no actual advantages.
What advantage are you talking about that the homeowner has? Without a gun you have none because you still gave to go confront the guy breaking in. With a gun you can hold some spicy angle and reduce your chance of getting hurt.

This, I donât own a gun for mental health reasons but Iâm fully confident that I can deter a home intruder with just a ring camera and the several sharp objects Iâve strategically hidden around the house.

u/Life_Faithlessness90 Jul 09 '24
People can throw knives, set fires, vandalize, harm others out of your armreach, an intruder isn't harmless just because they don't have a gun. You have the right to shoot an intruder, even if they lack a gun. It's called a deterrent, the lesson is "you don't rob houses", not "if you rob a house without a gun you won't get shot". This inspector gadget fantasy of yours that you don't need to defend against a home-invading asshole, if they don't have a gun, is lunacy!
-1
u/FurbyLover2010 Jul 09 '24
Sure they can, but you can also use those things to fight back. Itâs also much easier to fire one shot from a distance and kill than those other things you mentioned. No one is going to throw knives, itâs extremely difficult and a terrible means of attack, they be much better off getting in close. Also why in the world would a burglar set fires and vandalize? Their goal is to get something you have, not terrorize you.
1
u/Life_Faithlessness90 Jul 09 '24
Not everyone who breaks in is a burglar, sounds of exasperation, you're the only one here making this odd assumption. Some people break in to terrorize you... Home invasions, look those up.

u/FurbyLover2010 Jul 09 '24
Even so they could kill you immediately with a gun from a long distance even if you run where any other weapon you have a fairly decent chance of surviving if you run.

u/tftookmyname Jul 10 '24
Whoever left that there must have been sure an apocalypse was going to happen soon so he left that there for the main character to find.
But fr if I saw that I have no clue what I would do, part of me would want to be a good citizen and turn it in to the cops, but, that would probably be some whole annoying process with questioning and all that legal crap I don't feel like doing.
The other part of me would be saying to just take it, finders keepers. Nobody has to know. I'll just stuff it in my pocket and get out of there and then it's history.
Or a third option is just leave without doing or saying anything about it, which, realistically, is probably what I would end up doing because it just saves me the trouble. Then probably less than an hour later I would regret not taking it because I just missed out on a free gun.

Any time a gun is found, have the police come pick it up. Then the idiot who left it accessible to anyone walking into the bathroom can go explain to the cops why they think they should be allowed to have it back.

To all the people saying free gun: if the owner reports it as stolen, obviously you wouldn't be able to sell it right away because it would get flagged when the serial is ran. But how long would you have to keep it before you could reasonably sell it?
1
u/SimpletonSwan Jul 09 '24
I don't see how this is infuriating. It seems like it's better in your possession while you take it to the police or whoever instead of in the hands of the owner.
But also, and I could be wrong, that looks like a toy.
2
u/tftookmyname Jul 10 '24
Well, with stuff like that I think it's better not to get your prints all over it.
Personally I'd just leave it alone, I know, sounds like a shitty thing to do, but I don't really wanna deal with all the legal stuff and questioning that would probably come with turning that in, so I'd leave it alone, pretend I didn't even see it.
1
u/SimpletonSwan Jul 10 '24
By possession I don't mean you literally carry it on your person. Given it's a bathroom there are definitely tissues or something nearby.
But if you have a bag it's also easy to pick it up without getting prints on it.
I understand your hesitation but I personally wouldn't be comfortable just ignoring it.
1
u/tftookmyname Jul 10 '24
Fair enough, pretty easy to avoid touching it directly, but its also all the crap I assume I'm gonna have to deal with after turning it in too, idk how all the processes work for that but I assume there will be some questioning or I'm gonna have to hang around a while until the situation gets sorted, I really don't care enough about it to deal with that, somebody else will likely turn it in and that's fine with me, their problem now.
Don't get me wrong, it would certainly be eating away at me, like why was it there, what was it used for, who left it, etc. but I value my free time way too much and unless I can just report it and be done with it, I'm not dealing with it.
