    I hate ladders! In fact they terrify me. While others in this world are graceful and coordinated, I most certainly am not, so every time I’m on a ladder my brain insists on telling me all the things that my awkwardness might cause to happen.

    That said, this past Saturday I was on a ladder. While on that ladder I managed to a) hold a nail against the wall and b) hammer said nail into the wall. That took two hands. Drawing a weapon takes one.

      Cool, I’m sure you also managed to hammer that nail in faster than the reaction time of the hypothetical assailant with a gun pointed at your head too, right?

      Someone halfway up a ladder wouldn’t have even have a clean draw in that scenario without needing to ascend 2-3 more rungs to get their torso over the lip of the roof

        Why are you arguing with morons who don’t know the first thing about guns in an online community where likely less than 1% own one, let alone know how to handle one safely?

        You are literally arguing with people here who have the equivalent knowledge similar to toddlers in regards to firearms.

        Likely bjorney@lemmy.ca doesn’t know about firearms nor owns one and is simply armchair arguing about something they know nothing about.
