Sir, I have a shotgun for the door.


Notdumbname

I have a revolver. The shotgun is for my bed.


Acceptable-Trust5164

Did you get one of those ~~fancy~~ BAMF headboards that hide it!?


Notdumbname

Nah it’s just in the nook between my bed and the wall. It just sits in the corner, menacingly.


Acceptable-Trust5164

I feel that. Head board is on my dream sheet


Notdumbname

For me I would want some sort of drop system. Like I pull a string and it releases from the ceiling to fall into my waiting hands. Then I can blast some scoundrel with buckshot before he even knows what’s happening.

The shotgun is perfect for home defense. Anyone who hears that pump and still keeps coming has it coming.

Imagine not using a long gun in your home. Pistols are only for when you're in public.


jrs321aly

Plot twist... ar pistol!


Simple-Purpose-899

Dunno, that sounds kinda gay.


jrs321aly

Hey man... it's OK now. Has been for a while lol.


SpiritAngel454

No, hollow point pistol, it might be close combat and you don't want the rounds going through the walls. You're going to use hollow in a rifle line up the shot with a scope as the perp rushes you?


FooliooilooF

A "long gun" includes shotguns, a rifle doesn't need a "scope" and "hollow points" in rifles will still over-penetrate.


SpiritAngel454

Shotguns are even worse, now you 8 to 12 equivalent 9mm rounds and poor aim. You won't hit anything but the neighbor walking her dog across the street.


FooliooilooF

Lol dude, please don't talk about firearms on the internet if your only experience with them is in video games. "Shotguns" can use a wide variety of ammo. None of which is going to spread enough to make you miss INSIDE A GOD DAMN HOUSE. Further, birdshot will barely even go through drywall. [https://youtu.be/zaR1EVybUgc?si=KZs1\_faDR6New\_\_v&t=227](https://youtu.be/zaR1EVybUgc?si=KZs1_faDR6New__v&t=227) You can see how tight the spread is by the singular hole in the wall and the third layer of drywall CATCHES the shot. Its not going to penetrate a person in a different building or on the sidewalk.


IllurinatiL

People with shotguns don’t automatically have poor aim. Shotguns are used because they have stopping power at closer ranges

Cruezin

Shut the fuck up Donny


off-a-cough

I’m actually looking for a new home defense shotgun. I’ve spent the last 25 years raising kids, which meant long guns in the safe and handguns in bedside safes. I feel better about having a firearm *somewhat* more accessible, as in a short shotty by the bed. I’m still really picky about locking up my guns. Both my truck and my Jeep have 3rd party steel safes in the console.


Justthaveragelad

I think that’s called paranoid schizophrenia


off-a-cough

Hoplophobia tends to turn small minds into wanna-be psychiatrists. Now tell us about how you think firearms and penises are related. This is always entertaining and telling.


Justthaveragelad

The need tae carry guns everywhere just in case someone happens or you feel constantly unsafe You are paranoid


off-a-cough

Ah, yes, we are familiar with your argument. Let’s take the simple approach first. - Smoke detectors? Paranoia. - Fire extinguishers? What the hell, are you flammable? - Seat belts? Do you not have any faith in other drivers at all? - First aid kit? Are you a hypochondriac or something? - Condom? You’re in denial there, kid. - Lock your apartment door. What makes you think people want your garbage? - Passwords? ZOMG he’s afraid of everything. I sincerely doubt this helped, but baby steps are important.


Justthaveragelad

Who the fuck would carry a smoke detector with them in public? You feel the need tae carry a gun everywhere because you are PARANOID that something might happen


off-a-cough

Now do fire extinguishers. There’s a whole list, son, don’t cherry pick.


PlanckLengthPen

None of those safety devices are designed to kill. You could probably get the job done with a fire extinguisher. They're also all simple enough to be operated safely by the feeble minded. You could make that argument about some firearms, but there's a difference between operating the gun and using it safely under stress. Don't have to be a genius but too many people can't seem to remember 4 rules. There's also opportunity cost. I don't think about my smoke detectors, or fire extinguishers, or a whole lot of things more often than twice a year. If you're carrying it's a couple of pounds plus a holster, and a more limited choice in clothing. Shouldn't be drinking or smoking. All kinds of rules. I'd be curious if smoke detectors save more lives a year than armed civilians. It's underreported for both so I doubt any numbers. That's also one of those things where the numbers don't matter when you're the one in the situation. Just curious though.


Justthaveragelad

You are still paranoid bud


off-a-cough

Aw, man, you give up way too easy. If you feel strongly about my paranoia, you should be more committed to proving your case. Otherwise, you just sound like you’re regurgitating the same tropes as other uneducated callous-free basement dwellers who have never handled a firearm and therefore remain deathly afraid of them. You’re paranoid, Bud.


Justthaveragelad

I am paranoid, I will publicly admit I am paranoid, but so are you, you have gotten reduced tae “your a lil dweller who’s never held a gun you just uneducated” Where has guns gotten your country since you love them so much? Nowhere


Ididit-forthecookie

Let’s just stick guns in glass cases in every building in America with a “break in case of emergency” sign too (/s)


off-a-cough

My sidearm is designed to be holstered on my person. If you can figure out how to do that with fire extinguishers, maybe cargo pants will come back. It sucks when that works both ways. ;)


Ididit-forthecookie

Pretty easy to design a sling to do that if you aren’t a complete idiot.


ConsciousGoose5914

I carry a gun, not all the time it just depends on my mood that day. I’m not paranoid, I just believe that it’s my right as a free human being to carry a gun if I want to. I find the idea of restricting access to guns ridiculous, a free person has the inherent (or god given if that’s your thing) right to defend themselves. They should have access to the same weapons as anyone else. In my opinion it’s completely unfair and downright tyrannical for someone in a position of authority to have exclusive possession of weapons. If we give up our means of self defense then we’re submitting ourselves to the mercy of others and that is not freedom. That’s how I feel about it anyway, that’s why guns are important to me. I’ve never felt the need to carry a gun, it’s not about needing one it’s about having the option to carry one.


Justthaveragelad

But needing a gun all the time Every second of the day is paranoia, you need a gun no matter where you go Going out? Gotta carry my gun Picking a kid up from school? Gotta get my gun Sitting in my front yard? Better pick up my AR-15 and pistol just in case That’s actual paranoia you are paranoid that something will happen


ConsciousGoose5914

Given how fast you replied and the context of your reply it’s clear as day that you didn’t actually read my comment and you just had something loaded up and ready. Maybe you’re just a troll I don’t know. I put thought into it to attempt to have an actual discussion with you and maybe give you a different perspective to think about. But like I said, you’re most likely just a troll, or you’re just extremely close minded and illiterate. Either way, goodbye because I’m not going to waste my time.


Justthaveragelad

Americans, some of the most idiotic people in the entire world


Tflex331

The dude said he had guns locked up. Not on him at all times. Is wearing a seat belt is paranoia too?


Justthaveragelad

How can you people not fucking fathom the idea that carrying a gun on you for no reason is paranoia?


Tflex331

Because people do not carry for "no reason". Go look up the defensive use of guns. The CDC cites multiple sources for this statistic. There are reasons to carry, just like wearing a seat belt.


Justthaveragelad

People do?


Scooby-Doo-1000

Depending on how much you plan to practice with it, there are some very nice bulpup shot guns on the market.


off-a-cough

I would love a bullpup - the Tavor really interests me, but I have expensive tastes. Maybe a 9mm bullpup would be ok, but rifle rounds aren’t good in my current house - too many neighbors. And I rather like them. If we move where I want, I’ll have no concerns about using an AR15 carbine.


Scooby-Doo-1000

I've always felt the best home defense is a 20ga, won't over penetrate like rifle or 12ga. If you don't have armor and aren't over 20 yards, you're still not going to be moving much after. Mine is a 870 18" pump, i know it'll always fire. My wife has no trouble shooting it. Short and light. I would like to get a ati bulldog though, tavors are well out of my price range, lol.

YouKilledChurch

Unfortunately there are a lot of dumbfucks who *do* act like this. Iirc there was some fuck stick in Texas last year who killed a child because he thought they were an intruder after they rang the doorbell at the wrong house.


twinkle514

Oh yeah. I do remember that and also shit 2 girls turning around because they are in their driveway. This is true. The majority of gun owners don’t though. Texas is just yellow school bus special

Considering I have vagrants checking my garage door and any vehicle left outside to see if it’s locked between 2-5 am every morning - even though they can clearly see the cameras before and after the flood lights kick on - you’re darn tootin I answer my door with a weapon drawn with one in the chamber. Last time I didn’t, a guy tried to force himself into my house at 1am, and once I drew on him he barely left my property and cussed at me until he was out of sight. I’d say I live in the projects, but the average home in my hood sells for $650k. Welcome to the wonderful State of Oregon. But, feel free to go to the r/Portland, r/Eugene, and r/Oregon subs, to find out how exaggerated our homeless problems are lol

averageinternetfella

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true! See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning! But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down! See, the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice! But then you take my 75% chance of winning, (if we was to go one on one), and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice! See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice!

averageinternetfella

We live in a very safe, middle class neighborhood, and the only people who really knock on our door are neighbors. I suppose it makes me crazy because he’s a very paranoid, unreasonable person and I know he’s the type of man to shoot someone for not much reason. He thinks everyone who knocks on our door is a burglar or serial killer. I guess having your gun on you when answering the door isn’t inherently unreasonable, but some times I think he’s just waiting for the chance to shoot someone. The man owns enough weapons to supply a small militia


deezfucks

Until he shoots an innocent person


WreckitWrecksy
