Why would you want to to kill someone, anyone? That should be a last resort. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Btw those cities never defunded the police, funding went up. I'm not going to argue hypotheticals. Maybe I worded my last post poorly, but if your solution to everything is to start blasting, you're going to end up doing something you regret. Admittedly this isn't something that can be fixed at an individual level.

Imagine a land where everyone is armed. Now imagine how respectful everyone would be.

If you cannot defend the females in your household, what happens? Others will reason that you do not deserve to keep them. They will kill you and take the females for the sex trades, and sell your sons into slavery. At least that’s the way it always goes down in history. And I do mean ALWAYS.
It would be incredibly arrogant of me to assume to tell you how to raise your kids and defend your household.Gearjammin' Penguin, Brettj3876, JoeyJunk and 3 others Thank this. -

I keep an axe handy, right next to the kitchen trash bags and duct tape. As a serial killer reefer hauler, it's standard equipment I think. Fun fact: I caught a level 2 inspection this week and talked to the officer with my door open several times. The axe is right there on the cab floor next to the door in plain sight. He never even blinked at it.
I do carry a firearm 85% of the time I'm out and about at my home 20. The belt I wear every day is a steel reinforced gun belt, and nearly all my pants are a size bigger in the waist to fit a holster and a full size automatic. I leave the pistola at home when out on the big truck, but do not pass judgement on those that bring them along. Situational awareness, edged weapons within reach, and looking like a walking hate crime have served me well so far. No guarantees in life of course. I've actually been giving some thought to bringing mine along. However, recent reversal off of some of the pro-criminal politics that emerged in the past 2 years has reduced the concern a bit.
I do have a professional driver friend that got robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight at the south Dallas flying hook some years ago. He never saw it coming and it was over in under 10 seconds. A gun in his pocket wouldn't have done him any good, given the lack of situational awareness that likely invited the attack.
The thing that bothers me in debates like this is many pro2A folks see a firearm as some sort of magic crime prevention talisman. Those are the people who will likely die by their own weapon.jamespmack, Brettj3876, striker and 4 others Thank this.
