no guns, no knives, except for some kitchen knives. i used to have a stun gun for protection when i was hiking, but got rid of that. i’d be screwed if i ever got attacked. i roll the dice i guess, that i live in a safe place. the neighbors are all armed and shoot guns when the weather is nice.

haha i guess not. it was never handed down to me culturally, dad never hunted or had firearms. but he did have a bible haha.
i wouldn’t have had a stun gun either, but i was in the hospital one time and i told one of the male nurses i was going to hike part of the appalachian trail, and he suggested i bring a firearm with me, thinking it was not safe. so i got a little paranoid.
another time i was in phoenix, staying with my brother’s wife family and they were all like you need a handgun, i remember her brother said to me, “it’s the wild wild west out here”. anyways i just went home.
My dad has a 9mm in a quick open safe in his bedroom. It’s a fun little gun.
I’ve considered getting a snubnose myself but I decided against it considering the occasional suicidal thoughts.
I do have a Kentucky 50. Cal pistol kit that I need to build yet. No hurry though. More of a winter project.
Used to have a center fire .22 rifle but decided to sell it to my grandpa.

I very rarely ever carry weapons. I have a weird metaphysical belief that they just attract negativity.
If you’re in a dangerous neighborhood just try and treat everyone with respect, don’t borrow money from anyone, don’t ask for drugs, and don’t mess with any property and you should be fine.

I own a fair number of bows, but they’re not used as weapons. Target shooting only.

The only weapons I have is kitchen knives. But I’m more likely to use them on myself - on my arm. Once when I was paranoid and scared my husband would hurt me after arguments I kept a knife in the room I retreated to in case I needed to defend myself. Never needed to though.
I wouldn’t trust myself with a gun. Thank goodness I can’t get one. I hate them anyway.

sometimes i think about how oblivious i am. like the freaking arms race is already over. i never even thought about owning a gun, but the gov already has tanks, missiles, a-bombs, etc. some people think about it quite a bit and get to work protecting themselves.
When I was a teenager my dad would take me and my siblings to the gun range. It was fun to shoot at targets. I remember there were sometimes rather unsavory characters hanging out at the gun range.

I have a few knives, I’ve been a low-key blade head since I was a kid when I got my first pocket knife from a cub scout magazine lol.

I doubt the low income apartments I plan on getting into would allow any.
I might practice on foam nunchuks at some point.
The flexibility exercises might be more than I wish to dedicate myself to though.

I believe people with mental disorders shouldn’t own weapons.

I would have shot myself in the head if I was in the US or somewhere where guns are legal. Its easy, guaranteed and painless!
