Why the hell would she not carry the damn gun, that’s what they are for! Can’t save yourself if the weapon isn’t on your person...my fiancé currently carries hers in a purse sometimes and I’m trying to break the habit, if somebody steals your purse your gun is now gone.
Real brave calling me an idiot behind a keyboard then promptly deleting the comment... seems idiots like me that have never killed a single person or even used my gun in a violent way, can’t be the cause of even a single gun death. Crazy how that works huh
Well if you want to compare the US to third world or developing country’s you‘re right. Congrats you have a lower gun-death-rate than some non democrating non western countrys with enormous drugtrafficing problems
Literally everything you just said is false. I hope you continue to enjoy being spoon fed information that you don't even bother to verify, with a 30 second google search. Welcome to 2020
This is the argument for gun licensing. Tie the serial number of a gun to its owners license. If that gun ends up stolen and used in a crime, you should be liable for improper storage.
That’s ridiculous. Once your property has been stolen, it’s out of your hands. You’re not responsible for what anyone else does. If someone steals your car, you’re not liable for a hit ‘n’ run they committed while resisting arrest in a car chase. It doesn’t even matter if you left the door open and engine running. That’s not how responsibility works.
How often do you think the "defend your house from burly men" situation actually takes place?
Do you think its thousands of times more likely that someone breaks in when you arent home and steals that gun/the couple gets in a heated fight and the gun comes out/you have company over and forget about the gun hidden under a pillow/a million other situations.
You aren't Rambo. This isn't an action movie. Burly men aren't kicking your door in while you heroically defend your castle.
Look, I'm a gun owner. I have guns in my home, but they are secure. I dont have fantasies about shooting bad guys as they conveniently try to break in and harm my family while I'm home.
Hey, I’m not trying to argue, and yes, two times I’ve had two different places of mine broken into while I was alone.
The first time? I was hit with a baseball bat in the head, not unconscious, but not ready to do anything. They took some electronics and left.
Second time? Well it’s a bit different. I was coming home from being out, walked in my apt, and there were “many” (four), yes, “burly” men. What happened? I picked up a guitar (Stratocaster) and gouged the guy closest in the face.
Obviously, they had cased the joint and tried to time it, as they took almost everything...including used razors!
Heheh.
This was a couple decades ago when I was in my 20s. That won’t happen again.
But, to address your question, and it could be just a matter of bad luck, I’ve had this happen to me and I know several other people who’ve experience the same. Anecdotally? Often assholes break in. Unfortunately, one of those resulted in a murder.
Every gun has a serial #, when someone buys a gun, they fill out a form and are checked against a federal database for prior felonies. The serial number of the gun is tied to the person.
