    I’m not willing to give the psycho I bought it to protect myself from 3 seconds to cave my skull in with a bat

      So the scenario is that this guy makes it into your house all the way to your bedroom undetected, but for some reason wakes you up before attacking? Seems more likely you’re going to wake up getting your head caved in, or just shot if the other random psycho also has a gun.

        What do you mean “all the way to my bedroom”? He’s on video pointing at my bedroom window and swinging a bat. I’m going to hear the glass break and so is my dog. I also have to potentially cross paths with him every time I go to my car, or the laundry room, or the mailbox. You sure do have some strong opinions on this situation you know nothing about.

      If you’re so concerned with such a scenario, I’d rather suggest you get something to detect intruders earlier so that 3 seconds don’t matter.

      Also as others have pointed out, you’re replacing one risk with another way more likely one. But you do you.

        I’m concerned with such a scenario because the guy lives 2 doors down from me. He’s threatened me before and I have video of him staring at my bedroom window in the middle of the night, pointing at it, and swinging a bat.

        It sounds like OOP installed some sort of dumb 3rd party mod. A well built and maintained gun isn’t going to fire unless you pull the trigger. I live alone, my holster covers the trigger and I practice trigger discipline when I’m handling the gun. I’ll be fine.
