I am specifically asking those folks who’ve been in us for 5+ yrs. Many ppl i know carry it in their home for safety purposes and I have been thinking abt it as well Edit: I am a GC holder. Recently there have been a spate of break-ins in our neighborhood. Mostly illegal immigrants who brazenly smash into the house and there was one incident where the home owners were taken as hostage and they demanded money. In our neighborhood whatsapp group ppl were talking abt how to be prepared with gun /shotgun etc. There r only 2 indians in our neighborhood and the only ones who dont have gun. This is what got me thinking
I’m pretty sure are you have to be a citizen to own a firearm. You can go to the range and rent or buy a crossbow (I think)
You are an American. Buy a gun.
Guys please don’t vote “do not have a gun and will not buy it either”. This will make you easy targets for robberies if this news gets leaked from blind (which we know it always does and journalist keep lurking in the backgrounds ) Just do what I did and vote all three of the last items.
Burglars already know their victim demographics well. They particularly target south Asian due to higher chances for finding jewelry. In WA, you can't even shoot a burglar unless you can prove that your life was in danger.
First thing to do when I get my GC.
Since you are a GC holder, you are a step closer to citizenship than others. Your own belief on the top should help you decide on the topic.
i'd rather gut them
Where did the hostage incident take place? I do not recollect seeing it in news? Do you need guns? My take, unless you are into hunting or living in very bad neighborhood, you don't need guns. You may want guns. That's different from "need". If you need "protection", will you carry it with you 24x7x365 specially when at home? If no, then you do not "need" it, it's just a "want". There have been very few instances where gun protected homeowner. There have been instances where home owners who used guns on intruders, were arrested.
Robberies /crime happen in all neighborhoods People also go to other areas You don't need to have in on your person at home, you can have them throughout the house There are 1.2M defensive uses of a firearm in the US annually compared to about 15k murders, mostly in Chicago, Atlanta and Baltimore
So basically nothing you said is true
Not all news make it to national news
