Do you keep fire extinguisher in your house?

Fire extinguishers kill fires. Not humans. Humans aren't fires.

Right? Nobody in my house is going to pick up the fire extinguisher and accidentally kill themselves with it.

I don't know a single person in Canada OR here that has ever had their home invaded. Let alone several.

I only know of one couple who ever had their home broken into, my Grandparents. I was a young teen at the time. They went on vacation for two weeks and their house was broken into while they were gone. Come to find out it was the mailman who tipped someone off that my Grandparents weren't home. The same mailman had been suspected in connection with other break ins in the area.

Having a gun in the home for personal safety is like purchasing home fire insurance and then switching to naked candlelight as your light source.

Harsh, do you ever get tired of the Epic Fail?

I never get tired of witnessing it. Now we're comparing guns to fire extinguishers. The madness never stops.

there's a difference between a home invasion and having your home robbed while you're away. my mom's family had thier home robbed when she was young while they were on vacation too. but she didn't buy a gun, instead she just developed an odd obsession for making sure the house was super clean before our family ever left for out of town. so in case we were robbed, the robbers wouldn't think we were slobs.

Lol your pin is just stuck on one track.

You do not believe in protecting your family and property unfortunately someone of us do believe in protecting our family and property.

You can make your choice if you want to own one or not but do not shove what you think is right on others.

That is so something my mother would do.

Same here with the guns. My Grandparents never owned a gun. My Grandad was a WW2 vet and never touched a gun after he got home from the war.

You know introducing your own gun to the situation during a home invasion really increases the chances of a gunshot happening. And if you think you're more capable with your gun after being woken up in the middle of the night than a guy that's been up and about, you're wrong. Eyes have to adjust to dark, brain needs time to comprehend, etc. You could be outnumber....... Now instead of robbed, you're shot.

[Peikko 1,575]

I don't know what a home invasion is. I know what breaking and entering is, whether or not there are people at home. Home invasion sounds permanent, like they come in, kill you and take your home. I've never, ever heard of that happening. Home invasion is an invention of the NRA I would think, scare mongering, what the NRA do best

Lol coz you guys are just nuts… I guess I can group you, Teddy and GandD canadian crazies don’t know what they been putting in Canadian water.

Fire extinguisher is a tool and so is a gun, you do not need fire extinguisher everyday but you better have it on the day you need it.

Is that a record ref?

I do believe in protecting my family. F the property, they can have. Anything that matters to me is at the bank in a safety box. Take what you want and leave.

Where do you keep your gun that will help you access it super quickly in case of a break in? Most robbers won't spend more than a minute trying to get into your house. Is it kept under the pillow for quick grabbing?
