Did you ever need a gun?

I’m not talking about soldiers, or police or anyone that normally has a gun. I’m not talking about hunting, either. I’ve always wanted to have a gun in the house for protection yet never got one. In retrospect, I realize I never needed one. Did you ever need one unexpectedly? Did you have one?

Yes once there was this weird man that hid in the woods around our house with voodoo dolls and he came onto our porch, we turned all of the inside lights off and all of the outside lights on and my sister said I guess I`ll just have to get that gun Nanny taught me to shoot. then you could hear someone running off of the porch and what a freak he keeps coming back over and over and over again.
No, i don’t need a phallic object to compensate for anything. besides, it’s more likely i’d hurt myself or someone else than for the “intended” purpose.
besides, i’m a jedi frickin’ monkey.
No she really had the gun and she said it loud.

They track threads. It’s crazy targeted selling.
@SeventhSense yea has a creep but the thing is he is related to us somewhere down the line.
That’s whack. They do have some of that voodoo down in the Big Easy though huh?
I’ve been in one situation I can think of where a gun helped.
Growing up we always had German Shepherds and there’s a rather ghetto park on the other side of our backyard fence. One day this crazy guy was harassing one of our dogs poking it and screaming obscenities and yelling at the dog, “KILL ME! KILL ME!” My dad, being a federal probation officer and having a gun, went outside with his gun holstered and visible on his belt and asked the man to leave the premises in an official cop-sounding sort of way. The dude took off the second he saw that Glock…
(lol, the 2 actual gun stories are from Louisiana people).
Edit for clarification- The man was obviously a crackhead or some variation thereof and he was harassing the dog to the point where it was trying to attack him and kept biting and snarling through the fence- so a show of force was, in my opinion, warranted.
Hardcore Louisies..I’m from NY and I’ve never seen guns except on cops and hunting trips..
@elchoopanebre , a show of force warranted? Your father should have given the guy what he wanted from the dog (if you know what I mean)!
Before I moved to NYC, one of my cousins (who had never left his home state and thought things were still Son Of Sam-ish out here) tried to give me what I think was a Glock .45 semi-automatic. o_O All I remember about the weapon itself was that it was silver-coloured, very heavy and had a really long barrel.
I told him any criminal out to get me would easily take the gun and kill me before I had a chance to protect myself with it.
Yea we Louisianaians get crazy when it comes to our property and especially if it has something to do with the safety of you family or pets.
I always get nervous when I hear someone say “We Louisianans” on the media/internet/etc…
I guess its like what did we do this time?.......... am i right?
Yep.
Or they say something stupid and misrepresent all Louisianans. So I always hold my breath when people say, “We here in Louisiana…” or something like that.
I grew up in the barrios of Los Angeles. I have lived in many not-so-nice places. I have associated with not-so-nice people. But despite all of that I cannot think of one situation in which a gun would have been helpful.
Someone held a gun up to one of my cousins head until one of my other cousins pulled out a gun from his glove box then the man drove off. They were like 2nd cousins.
Where you born into the movie “Face/Off”?
@\I cant go to that its blocked whats on it? Were you talking to me whenyou said “Where you born into thr movie “Face/Off”?
@eponymoushipster sorry cant go to that site its blocked what was on it? Were you talking to me when you said “Where you born into the movie “Face/Off”?
I don’t know that a gun would have done any more than what I did but there have been a few scary situations I was in. All of which I got out of unharmed. And looking back they were all while hanging out with the same exboyfriend. It wasn’t a very good end of town and looking back a gun would have been helpful if something had happened worse. One situation I was lucky to have pepper spray on me as someone was being a bit threatening with a knife. (those days are over btw) Another time was at a redlight where a guy was about to pull one out and I took off through the red light. Another was when I left late at night and a guy was hiding in the bushes. Good times!
Never need it but im about to purchase a Glock 17 Compact.

@Triiiple – one of my favorite expressions along with “I’d rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.”
I need a gun same as I need a seatbelt. Odds are a seatbelt will never do much for me but that doesn’t mean it won’t possibly be needed.
