Gun Permit

[IAMANOBODY2015]

I'm going to side with your family and friends, and say you probably shouldn't get a gun. Guns are a serious responsibility, and if you don't have a mind that can soberly discern threats from non-threats, then please do not get one.

Thanks for your honest advice.

Guns ARE a tool. I'm not sure if I'd trust OP with a blowtorch either, no disrespect meant to him.

no, I understand.

You don't. But you don't just go around caring a gun, because you don't trust people.You might freak out and shoot the wrong person. If you have issues.
Child abusers and rapist seem very charming. That must be common with bad people, that don't want people to know their horrible secrets.

I know. I just want to feel safe.

Oops, I seem to have read the OP wrong and responded in the wrong way.

My post still stands as a general guide, though. Just not directed to the OP, as they didn't say anything about themselves wanting to get a gun to cope with their fear, just the hypothetical.

I have anxiety disorder and have paranoid episodes. I have recognized that it wouldn't be safe for me to have a gun, even though these problems are being treated by doctors, because it would just fuel my fear even more.

This wouldn't be the case for everyone, and I am not saying that it is. However, problems like anxiety, fear, and paranoia need to be addressed before taking the next step. This will help prevent harm from stress and anxiety, as the person will be more stable to make the decision without it being based on fear.

No, but your suggestions are helpful KitKatMatt. Thank you

Anyone else a little worried about the OP? Hasn't been back since posting. Hope he's not in a hole somewhere putting the lotion on its skin because he didn't have a gun.

No, I just don't have a computer. I have to go to the library. And it sometimes takes several days before I can respond.

You're a polite and considerate poster, OP. I like that you individually thanked all those who contributed - despite not having access to a computer. Many in your shoes (myself included), wouldn't waste a second on doing same if we had limited screen time.
