I know, don't take it wrong. I'm just telling you how it messed with my head when I was attacked. I'm not saying that how I react now is a good or smart thing. I don't like it. Those ******* stole something from me, even though I got away. They stole my sense of security and my sense that if I treated people with respect they'd reciprocate.

All I'm trying to do is tell you that a lot of crazy thoughts are gonna go through your head, bro.

For the record, I wanted a gun after I was attacked too. If I'd had one at the time, I probably would have turned around as soon as I was out of arms reach and used it. And then I'd be a murderer.

AS, I know you think it can't happen close to your home, but if you recall, I recently told a story about a friend of mine who got jumped close to his house, and how badly he ****ed up the mugger.

one way to look at it is if you survive a childhood like this and succeed, nothing life throws at you afterward is going to throw you off your stride.

Again, don't get a handgun unless you can afford a nice, reliable one from a reputable store, as well as the requisite training and practice.

What they wanted is irrelevent, AS. What is important is that they thought they could take it by force.

You'll get in much worse **** if they found out you've got an unregistered, unpermitted, or whatever gun.

If you get one, make sure you're legal to carry it around.

You can buy one at a pawn shop, likely, but you need a permit to get one and you have to have a background check, and, ultimately, the money.

So, if you had a gun tonight, what would you have done?

None, which is the problem. If you go off half-cocked, so to speak, you'll just end up hurting yourself.

If you want a gun, which, given your neighborhood, is probably wise, then by all means, get one. But do it right.

one ad offers "passport photos and money orders for application to carry concealed weapons." so i'm assuming i can register to carry a concealed handgun...

but what kind of price range are we talking about here for a handgun... some places say they offer used guns so how much should that run me?

Sorry that happened to you. I can give you my understanding of the situation. When they asked you for weed it seems to me that that was a red flag. If you were not on your guard before that you should have been then. Were you?

I bought a snub nose 357 magnum for about $350. Powerfull gun that can be concealed, but not as good as a 22 or 25. It's much louder though and sure to put the assalant down quick.
