    Still nowhere near comparable to the legit wet dream you typed out earlier

      “You want to spray at the base of the fire, as that is the most effective way to put it out. Aiming at the tip gives it time to spread and doesn’t effectively fight the fire.”

      There, that better for you? Lmao you know your opinion is meaningless to me right? All you know is I’ve taken the training everyone says you should be forced to take before gun ownership, the fact that you don’t like what that training actually is in reality isn’t my problem. It teaches you the laws regarding use of force and how to use said force properly. You don’t actually know anything else about me, why would I hold any stock in the opinions of ideological internet strangers who just want to insult people they disagree with?

        Nope, that is in fact less detailed and even shorter than before. There’s no fantasising about how cool you’d be if you took the fire down, and how manly it’d make you feel. That’d make it more in line.

        I have said nothing about any “training”. You’re fighting your imagination.

          “I don’t think I’ll have much trauma from putting out the fire, especially in my own home. Frankly, I’m just as likely to have trauma from having the fire in the first place than from dealing with the situation.”

          Lmao you are ridiculous. “Fantasizing about how cool I’d be and how manly it’d make me feel” where? The only one fantasizing here is you, pretending you know anything about me, or anything else for that matter.

          I thought you were referring to the part where I said “you want to get medically significant hits to stop the threat as quick as possible,” which were that the case would mean you did say something about that very training, but if not tbh this is on you for not being specific at all. I’m fighting vagueness lmao.

            Not being vague whatsoever. You’re just playing dumb. Or are actually dumb. Hard to tell.

                    Here:

                    Probably not, if they’re living in the attic they are still a threat, but likely not an economically sound threat. I probably have the advantage in that regard, they’d need like 7k in gear and some training to be better prepared. They’ll also never have access to the safe, nor the one on me, they’ll have to bring their own.

                    If they’re just in there hiding Richard Ramirez style, then it doesn’t matter who is better armed, it is time to roll them dice. Frankly it’s always a dice roll, I’ve seen a literal parishioner with a handgun take out a better armed dude with a 45yd (estimate) shot because the better armed mass shooter wasn’t as good of a shot and hadn’t learned his weapon properly (thankfully). What you carry matters less than getting shots on medically significant parts of your target quickly, you want to hit first and hit an area that is important, regardless of caliber, you could beat a guy with a .50cal with a .22lr, if he misses and you don’t. Of course, that said, you have a higher liklihood of one of those bullets hitting a medically significant target the bigger it is and the wound channels will be different, and depending on armor which the guy in the attic likely has none of you may need the small fast bois to punch through it, but I’d take my chances.

                    The real issue is he has the high ground and a choke point, so if he did bring a gun that’d present the most problems. Of course, he’s gotta come out sometime, and then it becomes my choke point. I suppose the real question becomes how did I discover he was there? Did I see him? Hear him banging around? Were the bangs as such that I’d go investigate myself or would I potentially involve law enforcement? All that makes a difference in the scenario. If I walk into my attic and theres just a guy up there who has the drop on me that is a kobayashi maru, but if I go up and he has a contact weapon like a bat or knife, I have the distance advantage. If I hear him up there and know it is a person somehow not just like a mouse, the cops are just getting called, I’ll outsource. If I hear him and think it may be a mouse and I go to investigate, we’re back to “does he have the drop on me or do I have the distance advantage.”

                    Still, in any case, the guy will be easier to deal with than the roaches. Less time, less money, and maybe he has a gun but maybe not and maybe it doesn’t matter if he does.
