Tbh I don't trust the police not to cause the same situation, but be behind a bullshit legal wall. I'm gay and disabled, and after the pulse shooting I picked up a basic pistol for self-defense. At least when shit hits the fan, I can be helping myself with a fighting chance, and not be the one being shot at by the ones I asked for help.

As someone with leos in the family, I don't trust a damn one of them, and my few interactions with them have merely solidified that.

Having a gun places you at statistically higher risk of being injured by a gun. Especially an always-loaded peashooter. The "good guy with a gun" is a myth perpetuated by the gun lobby.

The only good gun owner is a nonexistent owner.
