    Oh I would love to, I love guns. But I love my family more and due to my personal history I’d scare them to death if I got involved with gun activities. I don’t want to break my mother’s heart making her think I’ll kill myself. The information is for other comrades. Perhaps in the very distant future.

      There are non-lethal alternatives, like a pepper gun which basically just shoots pepper balls. I have a similar medical history so for now I only use non-lethal options, and for lethal options I remade my own Lucille from Walking Dead. A bat with barbed wire wrapped around and stapled to it. My spouse is not from the US and I lived in a very openly hostile area. A couple neighbors outright flew Nazi swatika flags on their porch so I needed to have something to kill them with if they fucked with me or my fam. Never had to luckily, but the option was available.

      Anyway, I learned about a lot of non-lethal options from them as well.
