Envisions, can you think of a scary one?

You're in your bed trying to get to sleep. There is a shadow figure standing in the corner of your zoom, you can just barely see them, but you can feel them. You close your eyes and try to sleep, reassuring yourself that you have schizophrenia and nothing is really there. You start to feel breathing on the back of your neck. Your eyes open wide and the figure is no longer standing in the corner. You feel something with large claws scratch down your leg. You whince in pain. You jump out of bed and turn your lights on. There is no gash but many scratches that look like they could be self inflicted but you cant say for sure. Your thigh is red and the skin raised.
The figure is gone for now. You are left not knowing whether the figure was real and you are in danger or if your mind is creating this experience.

Your driving down the road with the windows down when someone crashes into you. You spin out into a tree where a beehive falls into your car. Your door is crushed and it won't open and the seatbelt is stuck too.

Since it's 2023, everything is digital and online... a massive solar flare that destroys all computers.

There! Something scary that could happen and should it happen, it will fuck up the world even more and probably lead to multiple wars.

That's why you pack a gun.

Twin children still hold up as the scariest

Listen my bar for sending you the hospital is very apparent. Breaking into my house unannounced, being outwardly violent. Cutting off escape routes for myself. Stealing my shit. Castle doctrine, you come on my property without permission. I can just assume you mean harm.

No one wants to be injured but that doesnt mean some people wont risk it to steal your shit.

Also side note. Appearing like a wet noodle in public increases your chance to get robbed by 300%. Robbers dont rob people who look like they fight back. As the ones who do usually get shot.

I mean it's not on the inside but with the general moist nature of both places it would not be pleasant. Its moisture activated so that's how it burns in a shower.

Well when it comes to defending yourself brandishing isnt worth it if you dont use it. Just picking out that you are indeed a threat. I dont wanna use melee weapons because you arent guaranteed to not kill them outright. Bullets are an outright danger that scales depending on where you are shot. But nothing ceases hostilities with having a gun and being willing to shoot. Center mass isnt a guaranteed kill. Will scare the hell out of them regardless. Weapons in general you just got to go in for the kill unless you got a club or something. Sucks but that's how you guarentee that you arent on the otherside of that hostility.

If you live anywhere other then a place with thick vegetation a kuhkri is the perfect weapon for slicing off limbs. It's less of a knife more of a machete.

Pepper spray hurts like a bitch, personal experience. That being said someone determined enough can still beat the shit out of someone grinding through that pain. Also theres a 1/30 chance someones immune to it. Completed half the pepper spray course and I thought. Hey? This doesnt burn like shit I'm fucking immune!!!! .... and that's when it actually got into my eyes. Still completed it but I made the very wise decision of allowing it to dry, then meticulously pulling the flakes off. The screams in the shower were from those who thought they could just add it to their routine... and by that I mean wash their balls reflexively.

That's assuming that your home wouldnt be a viable target. Idk I'd at least keep something heavy (or sharp) on standby.

Theres this night table that can be disassembled into a club and shield. Wont do shit against a gun but better than a stick.

I want to imagine what would a D day landing work out for china in tiawan. Like holy shit would that be a meatgtinder of gigantic proportions.

Just turn on the news, and you will see how messed up the world is.
