I've walked into at least five dwellings before while drunk and on drugs thinking it was my apartment...I'd rather not get shot over stuff like that, choo know mang?

Constantinople being the voice of reason, as usual ;)

Yes because everyone who goes into other peoples houses is just doing it by accident, because they are fucked up....no one means any harm....its all just a big misunderstanding.

It'd be interesting to see what the statistics are on gun owners who have shot and killed the intruders, compared to those who simply held them at gunpoint until the police arrive. I can't count the number of times I've heard about both situations. Someone breaks in and gets killed. Some breaks in and an old lady or whoever holds a gun on him and makes HIM call the police.

PS - I've walked into at least five dwellings before while drunk and on drugs thinking it was my apartment...I'd rather not get shot over stuff like that, choo know mang?

I'm quite glad you didn't. That's an exceptionally dangerous, disrespectful and stupid thing to do. The fact you did it more than once is actually frightening. The fact you did it more than once knowing full well that getting killed could be the outcome is even more baffling. I like you very much and I say this with all the love in the world but, bro - what the hell is wrong with you?

I actually did this twice as a teenager, in struthers ohio, which is like a shitty suburb of youngstown.  In other words, niggerville.  One time some guy came out of the bedroom and said 'who the fuck are you' and I said 'I dont know' and ran out the door.  I was drunk as fuck heh. 

The other time it was apartments all with the same layout, so I went into one and went into the room I was staying in and layed down to sleep, because I was fucked up, but as I layed there I noticed a poster on the wall I had never seen before and realized I was in the wrong place.  Even more fucked up is, there were like four people sleeping in the living room, one I had to step over to get to the bedroom, and no one even noticed I was there. 

It was basically a crash pad just like the one I was staying in.  Except I was in the wrong one.  I just got up and left.

Because in a long stretch of hallway with doors that all look the same, sometimes I'd just be walking not paying attention and have miss-counted the doors and accidentally gone in one early or some shit. Most people round there left their doors unlocked more often than not anyways so it would be me walking in and like a few college aged dudes playing xbox, probably stoned, going "lol sup?" and then usually I'd laugh and be like uh you guys have a good night.

It happened more often when I was drinking at someone else's apartment complex. It only happened like once or twice at my own apartment and they are my neighbors anyways so they knew who I was.


I'd also like to add that I am a very non-threatening looking person. If I walked into your house you would be confused and annoyed, probably not alarmed and scared. I'm just saying.

Most people probably just want stuff.  Material things.  And no thing is worth a person's life.

but yet people are killed daily over drugs and money...people will fucking straight up kill you if you fuck with their stuff, that is just how it is.  I am lucky I didn't get shot in the face, and I probably deserved it.  Sure I didn't mean any harm, but you know damn well not everyone is just a harmless drunk who wandered into the wrong identical apartment....

Some drunk kid got dropped off either as a cruel joke or by accident in my neighbors lawn once. They called the cops and when the cops came and asked if they wanted to press charges, they were basically like "No, just make sure he gets home safely."

A big part of gun ownership is being responsible with your firearm. You first have to identify the threat, since automatically brandishing and discharging a firearm at someone in your home is going to result in you injuring or killing someone you know.

Unfortunately, I cannot condone what you did because like I said, it's rude, dangerous, disrespectful and careless. It's nice that they all happened to be college aged stoners who didn't care, but the last thing I would want to do is scare/alarm some lady or guy or couple or whatever.

Unfortunately, people also have a tendency to rape, maim and possibly kill you during a home invasion. A misconception people make about gun ownership is that a gun is for killing. A gun is for protection. You are supposed to use it as a tool to protect yourself from dangerous people. If worst comes to worst, pull the trigger. Otherwise, it's far more common to use a gun to scare someone off and/or hold them at bay until the police arrive and are able to sort out what's going on.

And, I'm sorry - but everyone who practices home invasions and burglaries does so full well knowing that they may end up injured, killed or arrested. They are the ones who decided that their life was worth less than your belongings, not you.

Guns simply don't seem like a necessity to me.  I've never wished I had one, and neither have my parents.  They're especially dangerous to keep around if someone i your family suffer from mental health issues.  We've talked about that before, though...

You're spending the majority of your income on sexual reassignment procedures. Don't sit there and expound upon what's a necessity and what isn't. Few things really are a necessity, you fucking tranny-cunt retard.

For a while I was considering purchasing a gun but never ever getting bullets for it, for self protection.  That seems like the most sensible way to own a gun, but then I'm a flaky leftist (rights cats?).  Now though, it seems pretty clear that there's no real need to own weapons for self protection.  At least in the places I live, where even the poor people aren't in much danger.  Might be different if you lived in a ghetto or whatever.

It's of course fine if other people own guns, though.  Just pray they never feel they have to use them...

I've got lot's of things worth a persons life.

The type of person that would try to take those things isn't really worth more than a few rounds of ammo. Crime isn't supposed to be safe - if you try to make it safe it just breeds less talented criminals with an inflated sense of entitlement.
That's bad for business.

Most home invaders try and show up when you aren't home. Just saying, I can agree that if a home invader shows up when all the cars are in the driveway, they are pretty fucking dumb.

Also, I don't have a gun but I have a bat. It works well enough for me because I don't really have moral qualms about hitting someone with a bat a couple times.

have you ever hit someone with a bat?  If not, how do you know?
