Yep. That's why 92% of Ukrainians voted for independence in 1991. They really wanted to stay a part of Russia.
Ah, yes, because the collapsing USSR was an open and transparent/valid society to hold referendums.
USSR was broke and collapsing in 1991.

Who am I copying?
Navy seal fitness test is a great little fitness routine anyone can do to see how you measure up in terms of your basic physical readiness.

Dogs are a great precaution. I think Id be way more chilled if I had dogs in the house.

I assume you are female.
I’ve never heard of a male having a mace key chain
You've assumed incorrectly. I'm a relatively big and fit guy. 275lb max bench and 225 for 10 reps. I can do NAVY seal pre-requisite fitness test, aside from that 50 meter cold water swim....cause I don't really train driving regularly.
That's not my problem that you've never heard of it. Nothing is "feminine" about it.
I can overpower/neutralize probably 98-99% of men out there, but if someone has a knife or blunt object, I'd want some ability to affect their vision without coming into a striking range.
Having it on key chain is perfectly legal in every state. It's not classified as a weapon. I also have a 4'' blade pocket knife on me at all times when I'm not carrying. Nothing feminine about that either.

This should never happen. Never leave a firearm unattended in a vehicle. Too easy to lose it to some fine young individual who is intent on increasing their cultural stature.
I agree but the parking lot is gated,lots of potential wintesses in an open parking lot, and police department is literally 100ft away from the parking lot.
It would be a terrible spot to break into a car, aside from terrible police response time. It's about 3-6 minutes. Not good.

what makes you think there is someone waiting days or hours in your house to ambush you when you get home. It would be much easier to ambush someone as they were leaving the house.
I forgot to mention, not that it was pertinent, but I'm also not slacking leaving the front door either.

It sounds like it causes enough anxiety that it affects your behavior, especially if the routine eases your mind, rather than the completely remote chance that someone would be lay waiting for you when you come home.
"Anxiety" and "fear" are different forms of stress, to be fair.
To be frank, I also hate flying. I'm not scared of it, but I resent the idea. Because if someone fcked up and didn't do their due maintenance we're stuck 10k feet up in the air in an aluminum box that probably is going to be my coffin. So the lack of control and security does raise my anxiety.
I also check tie rods and check/tighten my lug nuts on the truck. And believe you me, they will often under tighten them because the air compressor is weak.

I will often leave rifles in the truck, it's a safe area.

Fear no, but being at least somewhat prepared for something bad and unlikely, yes.
I definitely don't experience adrenaline when coming into my house. There's no elevated heart rate, etc...It's just a habit, routine so I have a peace of mind my house is safe.

No...I live in freaking country way off the road. And I have dogs surrounding the house. Generally leave the back door unlocked.
Move to the country baw and be free.
True, I live in a densely populated city. No dogs.
It's a high end area, average 1/1 condo being in the realm of 250-300k houses are 900k and up, but I prefer to not just rely on demographics and geography for safety.
I don't do it during the day, but since the Idaho murders and even before that I've gotten into a routine of checking my place when coming home at night after being away on business.

why do you even ever have a gun on safety? amateur hour folks.
In an odd case I'm slacking and someone gets my gun I don't get pewpewed with my own gun.
I do have a habit of turning the safety off when ready to use it.

Posted by amnesia46 on 1/10/23 at 11:08 am
I got into a habit of clearing my place when I come home at night. Nothing dramatic, but I do have a gun off safety and out and ready to use. If I left a gun in a car, I have a mace or a knife out, just in case.
Maybe it's an odd habit, but I like to know that when I'm home I don't have a mystery guest that could pop up on me when I'm not expecting.
