New Gun Owners Say They Bought Firearms Because Police Might Not Reach Them in Time

Thanks, I’m actually a Texan. Born and raised. It’s a naked feeling. I am unable to own a firearm bc I use medical marijuana. I have nerve pain and it keeps me from having to take a lot of other medications that I really don’t want to take and I’m glad I no longer have to. The two main ones are pain meds and Tegretol, which is an anti seizure med that for me, cuts 20 IQ points off my total.

I can apply for a gun license one year after my medical marijuana license expires. Mine expires at the end of September. That means 9/29/21 is the earliest I can apply for a firearms license. I’ve taken the NRA concealed carry class which lets me buy whatever I want that’s legal here, so that’s where I’m at. I’m going to have to find someone to prescribe pain medication so I can function for the next year just so I can exercise my constitutional rights.

I’m not defenseless here by any means but I will be screwed if this devolves info general widespread violence.

Firearms jam and need one reloaded. One is not enough.

Train and train under less than ideal situations.

An event could occur and the breach happens at 2 am when lighting is poor and you are not fully awake.

LEOs investigate murder victims after they have been murdered. LEOS investigate rapes after the victims suffer.

LEOs do not prevent murders and rapes. Thus only a fool is unarmed.

Why carry a gun? Because it's easier than carrying a cop.

When bad hombre's break into your house its already to late to call the police, 30 round clips are best
