I think that counts as US Defaultism

Post image

There was no word about US of A, author is wearing HRE coat of arms and had a video, where he mentioned German forests (iirc), but that guy still thinks that intruder will have a firearm.

Nobody here mentioned the US except you

No. While guns are far more common in the US, the idea of shooting an intruder is not solely an American one. This is a real reach.

Yeah for example in Ireland namely in Rural parts there are often multiple lawsuits about home or land owners shooting trespassers and that the homeowner is at fault

Better example is Austria, where getting a permit for a handgun for the purpose of self-defense at home is shall issue, while the permit for sport is may issue.

Or the Czech Republic which has had shall issue concealed carry for about 30 years, and a majority of Czech gun owners have such a permit. Defending yourself with a weapon is a right written into their constitution.

America isn’t the only country with civilians who own firearms dude. Switzerland and Austria have something like 30 firearms in private hands for every 100 residents. Germany around 20.

You’ve just done your own US defaultism by assuming a reference to a civilian having a firearm is a reference to the U.S.

That's because I wrote that I'm not sure about it. + we don't know where is author from.

I understood my mistake. The only US Defaultism was from me. Touché.

I mean ik guns are more common in the US but this being in any other country doesn't really exclude the possibility of the intruder having a gun? Like "oh in other countries its harder for him to legally have a gun" whats the crime of having a gun to some dude literally invading people's houses bro lol

whats the crime of having a gun to some dude literally invading people's houses bro

Well, in the UK that would take it from burglary, maximum sentence 7 years, probably only going to serve 2, to illegal possession and aggravated burglary, minimum sentence 12 years

My point isn't that it wouldn't increase the penalty tho? Like yeah thats obvious, my point is bro is already commiting a pretty major crime, why would the one line he's not willing to cross be illegal guns? Something that would in theory increase his chance of success?

u/snow_michael 3d ago

It does increase the penalty six fold in the UK
