The only thing silly here is your strawman.

"scenario where someone allows someone into their home who is looking to murder them"

Allow? Who's allowing anything? Do you think home invasions happen with a polite knock on the door with the residents greeting them with a smile, please leave your shoes on the rug before coming in? Is there a chance English is not your first language and you don't know what "allow" means? You do understand that the word "invasion" implies an unwanted break-in, right?

Also, fortunately the charges were ultimately dropped, but being charged with 2nd degree murder is a pretty bad thing to happen to you, as in this case that apparently you think doesn't exist: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/milton-man-shooting-1.6755603 I mean, how long did this poor guy have to spend in jail waiting for the justice system to figure its shit out? What was his bail set at? Apparently you think both that home invasions are the victim's fault for not living in a nuclear fallout bunker, and that this guy's invader was "allowed" in. You liberals are completely separated from reality.

As i said its preparation, if you think just having a gun in your home is all you need then you reallyt give zero shits about keeping your family safe.

I have actually had violent gang members wanting to kill me in the past, it was about a year before it got sorted out and i still didn't get home invaded, because i take security seriously.

you can not casually break into my home,

A swat team couldn't do an "unwanted break in" to my home.

i have been to court for gbh 3 times each time was ruled self defence,

All of these sentences contradict one another. You can't have a safe and secure home if you've gone to court 3 times for whatever GBH is in UK-Land.


Also, SWAT (over here) absolutely could get into any home, christ they have a robot they'll drive into the corner of your house and detonate a bomb to gain entry lmao.

I was a door man for 8 years, all of my charges were from self defence at my job, my home is secure so they had to find me out and about.
I have been stabbed twice, shot once and hit with various objects, i have been charged 3 times, gbh is grievous bodily harm which means permanent injury.
Swat in my country do not have the budget of a small country :rofl:

If you've been stabbed twice and shot once, it sounds like maybe you would have benefit from being armed.

Quote (Plaguefear @ Sep 23 2024 05:24am)

How would i benefit from getting in a shoot out in a crowded street?
I saw that play out a few times and it never ended well.
Both guys who stabbed me did it while i wasn't paying attention and ran off, what would a gun have done?
Ammosexuals only care about the thought of how badass shooting someone is and how cool they will look saving the day.
In reality that kind of shit just leads to an 11 year old catching a stray or some nurse on their way to a 14 hour shift being the patient.
More guns very rarely leads to a better situation.

I think you are struggling here, you can not casually break into my home, you give me an alert on one of my 9 cameras, my roller blinds are solid metal and short of driving a car through them you are not getting in, my screen doors are crim safe and my wooden doors have triple dead bolts and extra long screws everywhere they are needed.
A swat team couldn't do an "unwanted break in" to my home.
As i said its preparation, if you think just having a gun in your home is all you need then you reallyt give zero shits about keeping your family safe.

Stop talking to me about charges until you have faced some, i have been to court for gbh 3 times each time was ruled self defence, and in none of them did i need a gun and none of them would have had a better outcome if i had been armed.
