We were pretty hard up for prosecutors in NYS recently, too. That's always out there. Just now, Chef Jim said: Slightly better with a gun. SLIGHTLY?? Ok now you're just arguing for the sake to argue. The cops will be there a bit quicker if I tell them I have a weapon. Trust me. So why not tell them you have a weapon all of the time? I mean, that's one way to get rid of that 14-hour wait time in situations like this one.

I can't imagine hanging around for 14 hours pointing a gun at somebody waiting for the cops to come on somebody. Kudos to those with that kind of commitment. Who said it would take the cops 14 hours to show up in this situation?
Warren Zevon Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Just now, Chef Jim said: The cops will be there a bit quicker if I tell them I have a weapon. Trust me. So you don't actually need the weapon when calling the cops to get them to arrive, you just need to say you have a weapon. That negates the purpose of said weapon. 1

And to the framers, well-armed militia meant the possession of muskets and like instruments. Enjoy your textualist approach to the Constitution. Wrong. Such an odd combination of ignorance and cowardice on display in this thread from some. It’s kind of funny how eager some of you are to advertise your own lack of courage. Trust us, that lack of testicular fortitude shines through in ya’ll’s posts, no need to spike the ball while making your point.

They asked if I wanted the cops to show (I was at work). I said yes. They showed up 14 hours later. Saw them on my security cam and heard one say 'nothing looks disheveled'. Never even knocked on the door. Now do you think every burglar I Oakland knows they have plenty of time to ransack before the police show? Here’s a hint. They do." -Chef Jim, approximately 10 hours ago. Edited April 20, 2020 by SectionC3

I can't imagine hanging around for 14 hours pointing a gun at somebody waiting for the cops to come on somebody. Kudos to those with that kind of commitment. This is as fvcked up as it gets. An intruder is in your house and it's a non-criminal situation? "Eliminate the risk of accidental shooting in non-criminal situation". When you call the cops you tell them that you just shot someone. I guarantee you they'll get there in a hurry and the intruder will have second thoughts about doing anything else but practicing compliance.

Who said anything about non-criminal in the context of a burglary? Weapons aren't in the home only at the time a crime is committed. If one doesn't need a firearm to protect from crime and can instead accomplish that purpose with a pellet gun or a dummy weapon, then the latter options would be preferable because the risk of an accident involving the firearm in a non-criminal situation would be abated. 1 minute ago, Deranged Rhino said: Your understanding of freedom, liberty, and what it cost to secure them is woefully shallow.

Really just stop. 1

I can guarantee you that aren't going to be looking up the odds of actually getting shot while you are looking down that barrel. Nope, thankfully. I suppose it depends on who's holding it, from an accuracy standpoint. Trained cops miss all the time, which is why they're trained to shoot center mass, no?

I'm convinced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use Estimates over the number of defensive gun uses vary wildly, depending on the study's definition of a defensive gun use, survey design, country, population, criteria, time-period studied, and other factors. Low-end estimates are in the range of 55,000 to 80,000 incidents per year, while high end estimates reach 4.7 million per year. Discussion over the number and nature of DGU and the implications to gun control policy came to a head in the late 1990s

How would that be a lie? You are a gun owner, right? So tell the police you have a weapon. I don't see the lie. And, at least in NYS, burglary of a dwelling is a violent crime. So, weapon or not, it would seem that the risk inherent in rushing to the scene would be warranted. Edited April 20, 2020 by SectionC3
