Chip Scaree
I get real scared every time i hear a gunshot. I live in the bronx and its nothin to hear 5 peices a night. We once had a bullet hit our window and take out our granpa. I cant move coz im only 14, but i need to sleep. i tried muffs and all but they dont help. I have my own peice now coz im that scared. HELP PLZ.
This is not an adequate means of defence against an armed agressor however it is likely to cause sonfusion and hysterics which would buy you valuable escape time.
nothing soft comes out of the bronx.
Anyway, this sort of thing never gets easy to live with. At your age, I would definitely recommend against a gun for some of the reasons you've already read here. Get some advice from your family and/or local law enforcement types to get suggestions on appropriate protection. I certainly don't blame you for being scared in these circumstances, and I hope you'll be able to get some peace of mind soon.
