If it were absolutely imperative that you get a gun, how long would it take?

  • I'd just draw the one I have on my body...problem solved.

  • I could get one in under five minutes.

  • Less than an hour.

  • Less than a day.

  • Too late, I'm dead.

Results are only viewable after voting.

Wait are we talking about bad guys getting into your house here? I have a crow bar in a closet about 5 feet from me. Conveniently a land line phone right at my desk so I can call 911 for the ambulance. (cell might be awkward to use with all the blood I'll have on me). Oh, you're suppose to stop hitting when they're not attacking you anymore? I had no idea. 😛

On serious note, it's easy to think I'd bust their knee caps or crack their skull open, but at the heat of the moment I'd probably kinda freeze a little and hesitate. Is this really a bad guy situation, or someone trying to play a joke on me, do I really want to kill someone today? Or wait and see what they do... and I'm dead.
 
Not the new one that I mentioned buying earlier in the thread, but this is my current nightstand setup for things that go bump in the night -

15rds of 45ACP + suppressor in it's short config should work well. Safety first everyone - hearing damage is serious business.
 
I'm almost at home all the time these days, no one is scoring anything here at any rate.

Most people have safes and various things also, if they have a lot of guns.

about 3 minutes, but I haven't cleaned them in a year or so, much less used them, so who knows. I'm also not a sociopath thinking that danger lurks behind every door every second of my life.

Right now about 500 woman are being raped, someone just got robbed and I can go on... It's really not a question of if, but rather when.

I can get my gun before the bad guy gets through the door and up the stairs.

*Ding dong* "Who is it?" It's sergeant Evans with the police department. *Opens door* BANG! Your dead. Wasn't a real police officer.

Story is true. The Chicago Outfit pulled that off.

That's the scary thing, probably does not take much for someone to impersonate a police officer. But yet if it's a real one, they'll just bust your down and shoot you anyway, but if you shoot first and it does happen to be a police officer then you go to jail for life. So it seems no matter what if someone is at your door and says they're an officer you're kinda screwed.
 
I could prob. get one in a day (all tough the repercussions would be... severe)
I'll just stick to the "hunting"bow or the X-bow that I have at home.

Nice! It would probably take me 1 sec since it's right next to me.
 
at home, just go to basement and unlock safe, get gun, remove trigger lock, load (easy and quick to load as it's a revolver) ... under a minute.

I know. Every time I experience a home invasion and I'm forced to snap off a few rounds in the house, it totally wrecks my hearing. Never again... next time will be different.

I know right? My hearing is definitely more valuable than the lives of anyone wanting to come inside my house and the lives of their accomplices. Safety always comes first.
