2nd Amendment

I thought this was a good read.

These days, I am more convinced than ever that I want to keep the guns I have. Surprised how many people think we should rely on police and politicians to protect us and have our best interests at heart.

There was a brief period during the summer of 2020 when you started to see the protest mob head down residential streets and it was at that time I thought, "if this ever gets close to my house/family, I will make sure my firearm is ready to go". Right now (and always) it's locked away and would take quite a few minutes to get to.

Nah, @89th is just doing his best to balance safety, access, and observance of relevant state law. The guy still has kids in his household.
I had kids in my house. I still have grandkids. My guns are safe. And I can have one in my hand and ready to rock before you can count to 10.

I'm all for the 2nd Amendment, but I am also concerned about the current gun fetish movement. Things are being taken to extremes on both sides.

@Jolly Have you thought about moving to a politer neighborhood?
I have a very quiet neighborhood. Except for petty theft by the dopers.
I think we've had two murders in forty years.

I don't think you'd see quite as much of the tacticool stuff, if people were pushing anti-gun laws so much. Some of this stuff is just a mild form of rebellion.

I do not have it for "middle of the night" defense, on purpose. I have it more for "if societal shit hits the fan" defense. Would I regret that if an intruder invades my home? Of course, but we moved to a very safe neighborhood on purpose, too.
