Spear gun and pole spear as a self defense weapon?

[danvolker]

no seriously you guys are earnestly discussing different ways to murder people in your hypothetical violence fantasies and see absolutely no problem with keeping lethal weapons strewn about the house it's actually mind boggling

only in America

not having a go I've just never interacted with Gun Culture directly before

If you read through the thread, you know we take gun safes quite seriously....so the comment about guns strewn all over the house endangering the children is ludicrous.

As to discussing different ways to "murder people".....Again, you completely miss the point.....If a burglar breaks in to my house, he is not a person, he is an animal, a dangerous animal, and he ONLY has one RIGHT....He/it, has the RIGHT to be shot and killed. Again, this is his ONLY Right.

As the saying goes, the Police are only 5 minutes away, when you need them in 30 seconds. Our families deserve our protection, and hoping for the help of "Big Brother" in government or the police, for a break-in, is delusional, and is a defective mental position to have if there is any desire to protect one's family from intruders.

sorry I should stop fanning the fires here as I know full well I'm not going change any minds here, but...

aren't you at all concerned about your kids finding daddy's secret gun stash? what's the point in having the gun? everyone goes on about SELF DEFENSE AGAINST BAD GUYS but cmon, in the hugely unlikely scenario somebody breaks in you're gonna be the hero and either a) straight up kill someone (well done!) or b) become a dead father (the kids will be fine right?) and you're risking that for the sake of possessions? just let the hypothetical scumbag take your ****, don't die, claim it back on insurance and move on. You keep deadly weapons for this ludicrous scenario and by doing so introduce a very real risk that your kid finds your guns, blows themself /their buddy to hell

SURELY there is a greater likelihood of indirectly killing your own kids than there is of you saving them from an intruder

(I'm generalising here btw, not talking specifically about old mate dmoore19)

What secret stash? I think maybe you're confusing my gun collection with your porn collection or something.
My kids are all excellent shots. All but one own their own guns. The only one that doesn't, is the one who doesn't shoot for fun.
Of course, if you'd read the thread, you'd be aware that we all take gun safety very seriously. That we all own and use gun safes. The only person who ever said anything about leaving an unsecured weapon around the house was talking about a spear...

Holy **** your kids have guns

Sure. Why not? They've all been shooting since they were 9 or 10. The youngest is 23. They're all college educated and gainfully employed productive citizens.

I'm going to start teaching one of my grandsons to shoot this month. He's 8.

this is too much

you're messing with me right?

you are handing an actual loaded gun to an 8 year old child

Of course not. First, he has to learn how to handle it safely. Then he will shoot. Supervised, of course.

Are you scared all the time, or only when a firearm is mentioned?

Holy **** your kids have guns

Mine do to. If you want your kids to handle guns safely, you start by teaching them safety. Starts with "don't touch the wood stove", continues to how to handle knifes and other point objects. Continues to guns, awareness of strangers, how to drive safely, etc...

The world is full of deadly weapons, many in your kitchen and garage, more outside. Guns are only a fraction of the potential killers. Personally, I find it better to dial down the shelter and over protection by both the government and mommy and daddy as they get older, pressure them to develop common sense, self reliance and personal responsibility. Those traits last a lifetime, as a parent you are pretty much out of the loop by they time they hit college.

If you trust your government to take care of you they will eventually enslave you. Freedom shouldn't be traded for security. Yes, our kids learned about guns and shot them at a young age and our granddaughters have started shooting, carefully supervised, at 4 and they soon learn to hit targets. I started driving farm equipment at 8 and that certainly was more dangerous than guns were.

Ladies and gentlemen don't get drawn into a discussion with a diehard liberal. You cannot apply logic with liberals, they cannot think that deeply. They only react based on some twisted emotional knee jerk reactionary level. The best way to piss off a liberal is to live well and be happy. They cannot do so, they will always be worrying about some perceived injustice or unsafe situation. Let it go.

Ummmm.... I actually AM a liberal. And the first in this thread to advocate for the use of a gun for personal protection.
So I guess that pretty much shows how silly your post was.
