      A claw hammer would be a better option than a gun. Why does everyone assume that a gun would be the best thing to defend yourself with in all situations.

              I can grab it at a moments notice as it can safely be left out, you don’t have to load it or aim it so using it is fast and simple. If its my home they’re invading I know where to hide. I trust my ability to swing and hit someone in a panic far more than I do my ability to handle a gun under the same pressure. Its just going to be easier and more reliable to hit someones head with a hammer than it will be to shoot them.

                it can safely be left out

                Honestly, I wouldn’t leave hammers lying around where kids could get to them any more than guns. The hammer will be less deadly, sure, but a dumb kid will still cause a lot of damage with it.

                you don’t have to load it

                True

                or aim it

                False, lol. You out there protecting yourself with unaimed hammer swings?

                I trust my ability to swing and hit someone in a panic far more than I do my ability to handle a gun under the same pressure.

                Skill issue. Requires training time.
