    Hey at least you only had to use it once, hopefully that’s the last time you have to use it.

    And I suppose that’s the best defence in the event of a home invasion taking place.

    Also sorry to hear about what happened to your friend.

      I sure as hell hope so! I never want to have to harm anyone, but I also don’t want anyone to harm me or my loved ones lol.

      Unfortunately it is, the cops are slow around here, they can only show up after the event (unless they’re the ones doing the crime lol), and the criminals (violent ones, not like retail theft, ykwim) also have their own weapons be they guns, knives, crowbars, etc.

      Thanks, though he’s fine now! This was a while ago, he’s also moved and armed now too, and his head healed (but it kinda healed around the glue lol, so that was a problem for a while.) He’s doing good these days!

        Nice glad your friend is doing better now, and tbf if the police are slow then that’s definitely an issue, no one should be forced to protect themself due to slow response times

          Eh I can’t blame them too much, they can only come when you call them, and when you need to defend yourself sometimes you don’t have time to call until after the attack. There’s certainly room for improvement though!

            Well yeah I just feel that improved times could change things, but hey like I said hopefully you won’t need them.
