While having a gun in situations like these is probably great, I don't think it justifies having a 5x higher homicide rate than almost every EU country. Gun laws must have a stake in that.

Banks have alarms, stores have alarms, and yet, they get broken into......so much for your 100% alarm systems.

Excellent rhetoric's lowing ... since banks with alarms attracts thieves it doesn't work on a home ...

maybe

and until you figure out how to curtail that, since gun availability, is not a factor, I will continue to CCW and keep guns in my home for defense.

If you really don't get it I will not bother dragging this over another 25 pages discussing the issue ... it's not that important ...

nope got no clue what you are talking about. Really wondering if you do.

Are you actually trying to say an alarm is a deterrence but when I point out stores and banks have alarms and they still get robbed, you are claiming that is different? Really?

I didn't think so given the intense debates here regarding home invasion. However, comment still stands, if it is to blase' for you, keep moving and don't worry about it.

Fuck installing an alarm. Just leave a mannequin covered with fake blood in your kitchen.

Again, my family's life is already at risk when my home got invaded. Not because I defend it. God, your attitude is unbelievable. Let me ask you, do you even own a home?

Shoot hollow points. Plus, a .22 i not exactly the optimal home defense round
Again, hollow points really don't have much less of a dangerous range than standard bullets.
.22lr is a very low powered cartridge and has a lethal range measured in miles, .45 is many times more dangerous.

Apart from family do I have anything I think is worth risking blowing my neighbours kids head off in order to protect?
No. Even for family a knife or bat would be my first pick.

Would I want everyone in my street armed and ready to start spraying bullets around to protect their TV or porcelain miniatures?
Not likely.
The point of hollow points isn't the lack of range, it's the lack of distance they go after hitting an object.  They stop (or severely slow down) after hitting objects such as people and walls making  them a good home defense round.

this thread makes me sad


doucheface broke in because nobody was home

an alarm would have made him steal shit faster and then just run away without being caught


forcibly enter someones home = you give up your right to safety. don't like it? don't do it

And many can barely operate them, let alone hit anything.

Oh wait, is there where I both my legs and arms are cut off and  I go blind, so my wife and kids abandon me and I am left with no choice but to break into someones house in order to survive?
