>>1178026>stop trying to wave your big steel dick around in the woods like it's going to save you from getting shot in your sleep by a sadistic woods-dwelling creep.Nah, I'll pass. I've had to use my gun against a black bear during a charge and been shot at by meth heads while /out/; I'll continue to carry wherever it's legal, which luckily is essentially all federal land. The bonus is it really brings out the butthurt fags like you when I OC.
>>1178045>meteor protection device vs firearmNice strawman you got there. CDC recorded 20,666 self defense shootings in 2012 while only 20 people have been killed by meteorites in the last CENTURY. Fuck, those CDC numbers don't even include defense against animals. These occurrences are so disparate probability wise it's not even funny.
>>1178046>Yeah no shit rifles are more powerful than handgunsThat's kinda the point. When your life possibly comes down to a single trigger pull you'd probably rather have the better inherent accuracy and power that the rifle/shotgun delivers. People have killed Grizzlies with 9mm, doesn't mean it's actually a good round for the job.
