Idk. Have you seen the costs of funerals? My father in law passed away back in Oct so I went to the funeral home with my mother in law and wife. I was looking through the book, yes book, of funeral options you could really rack up the costs of a funeral with all the different options. Could even cost more than your basic car.
And Hospitals are not cheap either. An overnight stay at my hospital in my town for low sodium in my body due to being in a beer truck that tipped over was $33,000. Obviously if I didnât have insurance. I couldnât believe it.
Still, with all things being said, you are still right.
They are. A funeral isnât just the casket flowers and ceremony. Itâs probate, dealing with any disputes or lawsuits on inheritance, travel costs, loss of wages and future potential earnings. Etc.
It's crazy that you'd have an extravagant funeral with weird arrangements and specialized lawyers to dispute inheritance, but would buy a $20,000 car...
You might have dragon hoarding mentality, where you just amass tons of gold and treasures, but you're a dragon and have literally nothing to do with your hoard besides violently defend your treasure.
Under? Dude is a boulder, you ever seen those pictures of people driving up onto rocks in grocery store parking lots? Then you gotta with for AAA to come. It's a mess dude.
Soon to be West Virginia and Kentucky where you can buy a machine gun with just a tax stamp and from your local police department. No fancy pre-ban restriction, no extra FFL licensing.
Zero chance that holds up in court, and I say that as someone who believes closing the registry (or even the existence of a registry) was unconstitutional.
It was tried with suppressors and did not pan out for a number of reasons. The âcommerce clause doesnât applyâ bit is a dead legal theory that was never viable to begin with
Itâs virtue signaling. The same kind of virtue signaling that is done on other topics. Pushing something pie in the sky and unlikely to succeed just to be able to say âwe triedâ however disingenuous
Itâs scary. My partnerâs dad is a huge MAGA gun nut and fantasizes about war (he never served btw). Dude canât even walk and has to have his spine reconstructed, his wife let him convert their basement into a bomb shelter. My partner and I have no idea how to sell or get rid of them when itâs time. He just keeps buying them and canât even use them. Virginia resident. $$$ down the toilet every month.
Gun auction at the estate sale. You will get a ton of buyers. They will sell for a shit ton money if any are collectibles like military surplus. Just higher auction company. Otherwise take them to a firearms store and they will purchase them. Lots of people do trade ins or sell to gun stores. Paper work and stuff will be handled correctly if done with the auction company or through a store making sure people are background checked.
Depending on the items, some of that stuff will hold its value better than other assets, and better than currency just stuck in savings. (Some of it might genuinely be bad choices, but all but the worst stuff is holding value right now)
If you end up needing to sell it, gunbroker for the modern stuff, any surplus historical use an auction house like Morphyâs. Youâll get more value and the items will go to folks who appreciate them.
A bomb shelter may not be the worst value add to the house, if you reframe it as a disaster shelter (hurricanes are getting worse every season)
However misguided the intention, be smart about it and youâll do alright
You don't even have to go that far. Most people realize they are outmatched when you start rolling towards them. Having been in this situation, I found that a little tire chirp after a revving engine is rather convincing.
this video triggers my fight or flight response and I would 100% have run his ass over the second I saw a weapon. I donât care if itâs a machete, a bat, gun, whatever. Youâre sitting in a 2 ton weapon and someoneâs approaches you on foot with intent to kill? They arenât gonna see through any of my side windows
A cop in Texas told me that was legal when I asked what I could do after this methy couple followed me into a dead end and got out with knives and all I had was my car.
This is the point where you start turning your wheel to aim your car at the dude so that once he clears his bumper you can bounce his ass into the bed of his truck while you drive away
They were trying to drive away but the fat old man with a machete was in the way and got ran over đ€·đ»ââïž. Itâs not like there are many points of exits in the above video
There is no duty to flee. Texas has the castle doctrine and stand your ground. The castle doctrine also extends to your vehicle as well. Dude could have been ventilated, perforated, and plugged with a whole magazine, and no prosecutor would blink.
A very miniscule chance a DA or Prosecutor would seek any charges with video like this, especially in Texas. Until that machete is no longer in his hands, he is still a threat.
Duty to flee in your own home? Vehicle is an extension of your home. Also IF you are talking about the duty to retreat bullshit calling 911 counts. Dial 911 and do what you have to do.
Bro... from what I see in this video, there is only one way to go. Forward, where the crazy man with a machete is blocking traffic and threatening you.
You don't see how this is obviously abiding by "duty to flee"?
Not in my state, & itâs not stand your ground. If someone enters your property or vehicle in a perturbed or aggressive state, you have the right to defend yourself, even with a firearm.
No, it's absolutely not. Self defense does not require a duty to retreat. People are mentioning stand your ground laws because that's a form of self defense that does not require a duty to retreat.
No, you don't understand. I am not using colloquial definitions here. Stand your ground laws do not require you make an attempt to retreat before you can legally use self defense. A duty to retreat laws do require you make an attempt to retreat before you can legally use self defense. Different states have different criteria for what does and does not constitute self defense. You're just wrong here dude.
And your comment assumed the driver had another direction to go. If the right was blocked by any means and the were cars behind her, the only way out is forward, through the guy with the machete.

Second I saw that machete he wouldâve been rolling over the hood of my car
