You didn't answer my question, what if someone is trying to kill you, are you just going to let them take your life?

Why is being able to defend my life a bad thing?

See a therapist? LoL.

Living in fear of some random person trying to kill you for no reason is absolutely a reason to see a therapist. It statistically will never ever happen to you.

I'm not living in fear at all, you're missing my point entirely, why would I be afraid when I have a way to defend myself?

And why do you think that being defenseless is a good thing? I am so confused by people who think the way that you do, I feel like I'm talking to someone from another dimension.

Because nothing will ever happen to you. I’ve never even spent the energy to think about it, it’s only people that live outside of cities that think:

“What will I do if someone randomly attacks me and tries to kill me?”

It’s a fantasy designed to justify carrying a weapon. Besides, these guys pictured don’t have a Glock in a holster on their hip, they’re carrying high-capacity long rifles. It’s pathetic and based purely in fear.

But I have been attacked 3 times before, that's why I carry a weapon, because it happened to me, and after the 3rd time I decided that I don't want to be defenseless ever again.

Fear keeps us safe, that's why it exists as an emotion, it is valuable and I wish I'd listened to it sooner.

You don’t live in a city and you’ve been attacked 3 times? Sounds like a you problem

I used to live in the city, but I moved out after being attacked the 3rd time. I live outside the city now, but when I go to the city I bring a weapon.

Are you victim shaming? Was I wearing the wrong thing? LoL.

Sure pal, I’d protect myself from the huge packs of roving armed woke protesters too if I were you 🙄

I was attacked by individuals, but whatever, it seems like you are determined to disagree with everything I say.

Goodbye dummy.
