(20 posts)When a man or woman is desperate they will take what they need. most junkies dont rob because its fun the rob for things/money to buy drugs.
Home invasions now are seeing the largest increase I have seen. In my military hometown this also means about every other week if not more often we have a story about a citizen using their gun to kill or shoot an attacker. they are tired of waiting for the police to come 30min later to fill out a report and offer a charity ride to the hospital. ( you do know the hospital bills the victim if they are assaulted and need medical treatment right)
Some people dont feel the need or have the desire to own firearms and that is 1000% ok with me. Just dont punish those that do. In my life i have had to present my firearm 2 times. I never shot someone but ironically 2 days later at the same walmart a pack of thugs tried to rob me at ( i told them not interested and then 2 ran towards me I presented my handgun and they quickly ran a way i got in my car and rove home) the armed citizen shot 1 robber in a parking lot robbery attempt. So there after the walmart super center went from 24hr to 6am to midnight hours.
For some people a gun provides them with a fighting chance in a situation no one wants to be in. Think (5'1" 145lb 40 yr old woman vs 6'3" 235lb man that has broken in to her home or followed her to her car after a work dinner.
