Buddy, when I got out on a errand, I have both a Ka-Bar and a bound-together pair of frying pans in my vehicle with me. I also drive out knowing that I may have to run somebody over just to stay alive, and I must steel myself behind the wheel in order to keep the will to do that, as well as to use the pans in case I need to step out of the vehicle.
I also bought a .22 semi-auto rifle from the gun store the other day. It’s my first gun. I will need a safety course before I even think of picking it up in self-defense. And I will admit that .22 ammo is like peas, but at least they will be 1150 fps peas. So there is that.
Now hopefully, may God forbid I run into such situations where I will need to do such awful things, but there you have it.
You did not buy a gun, you bought a practice toy. We can’t even stand you up for guard duty. Time to wake up... all the way.
