Constantly see people online talk about "when the robber comes thru my door" or whatever, and some of it is memes, but a lot of it is just people legit discussing what the "best weapon" to fight robbers breaking into your house at night would be - Giving it so much thought as if it is a legitimate concern. So is it? Does it happen a lot?

I had a coworker that was scared of this so he had tens of thousands of dollars in guns. He used to brag about it all the time. He was robbed because he had tens of thousands in guns that everyone knew about because he bragged about them all the time. Had he been home having a big pile of guns would have done him no good.

Having lots of guns does nothing unless you have lots of hands to hold the guns which is why the prepper zeal for owning tons of guns in case things get crazy, is hilarious.

When you die your soul travels down to belly of the earth. In it the god Crom waits in his halls to ask you the ridde of steel. You are judged by your answer. The followers of thulsa doom said that steel has no power. The power of steel comes from the arm that holds it.

This is my favorite response to all the prepper types when they tell me I'll be screwed when society breaks down.

Why would I be screwed you just told me you've got 10 years of rice and beans, an industrial water purifier, and 20 guns which you can only possibly use one of at a time.

I'll just get 20 friends and we'll come take you're shit, you antisocial weirdo.
