Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Paul Harrell is one of the foremost experts on the subject in my opinion. Here's a video from him I recommend.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Nothing wrong with having all the above suggestions. Like others, I also have firearms. However my first response is something more passive.
We keep extra car remotes in the bedroom. If by chance someone was to break in, our first move is to get the alarms blaring on the three vehicles. Hopefully waking up the neighborhood would be enough of a deterrent to make them take off.

Firearms should be the absolute LAST line of defense. Animals, alarms, motion lights, etc. should always come first. Although... animals are debatable. In our house, yeah the doggy may bark, but in the case of a confrontation I want her behind me and not in front... just like I want my human children behind me. It is my business to handle that sort of situation and I don't want any of them in harm's way.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
This is one of the rare times I've seen the board come together over a particular issue, actually kind of refreshing. Personal safety is of utmost importance which we can all agree on. With the unfortunate incident that happened to RT I think this is just a little warm up at what will come in the next few weeks. Does anyone think that the "extremists" from either party will be out to start trouble if "their" side does not win? How bad will it get?
You guys have had some good ideas and helpful hints as well.

Like with firearms, training, training, training.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

The best compromise for a novice on home defense is probably a sawed off shotgun. Shorter, lighter and your get that close-in spread. But there's rules against that.UP906 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 8:30 am.....
So... even with an open choke, are you going to see the shot even leave the wad in that distance? I really don't think so. This means shot placement is just as important with a shotty as it is with a pistol.
Now, assuming the above is true, you are carrying a large and heavy weapon that requires somewhat precise aim to be effective.
Now let's take our novice shooter with his heavy weapon and see if he can clear a room properly. If he can't, I feel that the odds of him having his weapon taken away from him increase dramatically. Now we have a worst case scenario.
Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Yes, there are most definitely rules against that.
Shall not be infringed? Yeah... right.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
I agree with pistols after a background check for reasons exactly like this situation. I am fine with hunting rifles as well. What I am not fine with is weapons of war like AK47s or these military sniper rifles in the hands of Joe Citizen. Keep these with the military.Mr.Transistor wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 9:11 amThis is one of the rare times I've seen the board come together over a particular issue, actually kind of refreshing.

As far as any rioting, I have reached out to my military veteran friends. They are confident that the National Guard can handle it no matter which side riots. I know someone from college in the Guard, and she's ready to go. She was in Minneapolis and Detroit a couple months ago.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

"Weapons of war"
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

What is the difference between what you refer to as a hunting rifle and a AK 47?MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:58 pmI am fine with hunting rifles as well. What I am not fine with is weapons of war like AK47s

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
The odds are greater that you'll be injured by a gun you purchase than by anyone invading your home.
https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000520/gun-risk-deathGuns can kill you in three ways: homicide, suicide, and by accident. Owning a gun or having one readily accessible makes all three more likely. One meta-analysis ”found strong evidence for increased odds of suicide among persons with access to firearms compared with those without access and moderate evidence for an attenuated increased odds of homicide victimization when persons with and without access to firearms were compared.” The latter finding is stronger for women, a reminder that guns are also a risk factor for domestic violence.

And how many well trained individuals were included in this "meta analysis?

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
Google it, plenty of research on the topic. I will note none of you gun nuts has discussed safety or training.

Re: Political Violence Hits Home
I'm sorry TC Squawks, calling you an idiot was mean and insensitive. Instead what I'll do is offer you some choices and you can pick which one is the best descriptor.
A) You are an idiot.
B) You didn't read the whole thread and are just throwing shit in hopes something sticks.
C) Your reading comprehension took the last train to Albuquerque and left you at the station.
D) You are intellectually dishonest.
E) All of the above.
Which one best describes you?
