Smeggy Smurf: I’ve been in situations when having a sidearm would have resulted in less violence. A citizen’s arrest on the drunk for attempting to steal my truck would have been preferable to leaving him on the ground with his skull split open, bleeding profusely, as my co-worker and I hauled ass out of there. Or leaving a drunk with a broken sternum in an apartment parking lot because he tried to stop me from helping his abused girlfriend leave him. Don’t try to steal my property at 1am. Don’t threaten to kill me in a chat room and then show up at my door.

None of that is going to result in rainbows and unicorn farts. It ALWAYS ends with shotguns and double aught buckshot. I’ve never had to pull the trigger. I don’t want to. But I will. So will millions of other men. We have families. Kids. Daughters. Wives. Girlfriends. People worth protecting. Property worth defending.

Most people will never be in a situation where this come into their lives. Others, like myself, have some sort of asshole magnet that draws the goblins like flies to shiat. Just this past weekend some limp dick tried my front door at 1am. I was still up talking to my stepdaughter. She’s only 13. We had lost track of the time talking about 4H, horses and her going to college.

We don’t live in a bad neighborhood. I used to. But no longer. Yet even in Boise there are dumbasses at 1am. Drunks, tweakers and the like. Meth heads in particular. No dope fiend is going to come and bother my family while I have the means to do something about it. I never saw him as I stepped outside with that scattergun. All there was were footsteps going away. Genetics made me look scary. Even when I’m smiling little kids look at me like “who’s the scary man”? Toss in a 12 ga scattergun and there is one less goblin that will bother my family. The day I have to pull the trigger is the day I’ll still get my 40 winks. Not because I don’t care. I do care. I care about my family. Not some piece of shiat goblin. I will only hope that on that day, it hurts while it bleeds to death.

The liberals don’t understand. The cowards don’t understand. The weak cannot understand. Those that do understand will merely nod and say nothing. It is us that make this way of life what it is. We don’t apologize. We don’t need to. The weak won’t accept it and our kin don’t want it.

Coelacanth1938: Dude, you might think you’re a hero, but you’re not. You’re just another slob with a gun. The reason that you’re an asshole magnet is because you’re an asshole yourself. It’s more than apparent that you enjoy hurting other people for the flimsiest of reasons. You enjoy scaring little children. You enjoy coming online and calling people who have managed to live their lives without violence weak and cowardly.

In time, the world will move on and you might as well had never been born for all your piss and vinegar.
