Buying a gun (secretly)

>>18293724
Sounds like an excellent idea.

If you point a gun at someone you had better be prepared to kill them with it - the guilt, the police investigation, litigation, medical bills, the works - because if you aren't prepared to do that then you're probably the one who is going to end up getting shot with your own gun.

Buy a baseball bat.

Have fun in jail if you kill that intruder (depending on country you live in and if you legally can own that fire arm)

>>18293724
Statistics show that people with guns are MORE likely to get killed by a burglar, because the burglar panics.

90% of break-ins are based on convenience - the burglar picks the house with the easiest locks or windows. Put better locks on everything and make them visible. Put a tin box on the side of the house so it looks like a burglar alarm. Put up motion-controlled lights outside.

Any one of those things is enough to discourage burglars because it is just easier to move on to the next house.

This. You can even get signage and stickers of security companies and put them up. You don't even have to have an alarm system but they don't know.

Don't buy a gun, they're a waste of money

>guns are useless and dangerous
>t. Never handled a gun

Largely depends on your country OP. Killing a stranger in your own house will always be a headache no matter what, but as long as your gun is legal, you'll only have to go through some burocracy.

However, if you do but a gun, you have to practice handling it. In the beginning I'd say at least once a week. Go to a range and practice as many situations as possible, as picking it from the table and shooting it as a reaction.

However, I advise against doing it secretly. Your family has to be informed and have a plan as a group. There's more than one story about people confusing family members for burglars and shoting them when half sleeping and/or in the dark. Remember that for the one breaking in, everything that moves is an enemy, while for you, it's much more likely that something moving is a family member, and although you do have to practice differentiating targets in hard conditions, that's a reaction time you can't afford in a sudden encounter, since the invader is at advantage.

If you do get one, your family has to lock themselves in their rooms and remain in a non threatening position as much as possible.

The best gun you can have in my opinion for inside your house is a snub nosed revolver. Ammunition failure is much less dangerous, the short barrel is more adequate and you don't need more than 2 or 3 bullets for a situation like that, so capacity isn't much of a concern

About your father, if he picked up a screwdriver, he probably isn't as much anti gun as he thinks, or he's a huge hypocrite.

Two consecutive numbers at the lowest value of a right end floating set , again!

Don't buy a gun though it's a waste of money.

There are guns for a couple hundred bucks (in usa at least, where I leave it's several thousand of our bucks). It's expensive, but if he really needs it, it's very affordable.

Plus it can be a hobby. It lasts potentially decades without bigger maintenance.

Best answer in thread. OP listen to this guy.

>>18294307
I guess that depends on what your definition of a waste of money is.

>>18293724
If your dad doesn't want a gun in his house, you don't get to have a gun while you live in his house. Stop being an asshole and abide by your parents' rules you idiot. If you want to own a gun, get your own place, and keep your gun there.

But he can't not tell his Dad that he's going to buy a gun. Dad might be upset. I would.

Why? That's the beauty of living on your own as a independent adult. You don't have to tell your parents everything you do in your own home.

I'm not retarded. I've never been startled by my father in the over two decades I've lived with him. And if I wanted to be "cawadooty" I wouldn't be buying a small 5-shot revolver, I'd be buying a larger semi-automatic handgun

This is about home defense, not owning a gun

>>18294525
Then find a way to defend the home in accordance with the rules of the home. If you don't like the rules, move the fuck out.

>my dad hates guns
Yet another problem that could have been solved by getting some damn money and moving the fuck out.

>what about my mother though
Inspect the alleged scene of attempted entry, notify the police if there is any visual evidence left behind (like anything broken.) Any home invader with multiple brain cells left in his head won't try the same place twice, unless he's got a hell of a grudge.

Subtle. I like it.
