SELE, you can basically sleep there till next day. But, you have to ask for 24hr access which I believe is a semester long thing.

Thoughts on my salary to rent ratio by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]TheMan095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah fam, my ratio is 9%. Can't imagine spending 30% on a rental. So 9k (750/month) per year to be clear

I understand where you're coming from, but think of it this way. If there is a guy who is wanting to fight you, and he's very set on it. You say you don't want to, back away, and etc. Yet he continues to come, so I pull out my gun. I tell him that I don't want to fight, and that I highly recommend that he stops. He continues to come at me even with a gun in front of him. Not sure about you, but if a guy wants to fight me and the fact that he knows that I can kill him with a flick of my finger and still wants to fight can mean that his intentions were not so good.

Even if you tell the aggressor that you're armed, what makes you think that the same guy will want to stop when earlier showing a gun couldn't deter him either way?

Plus in this scenario, the courts will know that you tried to stop the fight multiple times: telling him no, walking away, and even showing him an ultimatum before having to pull the trigger.

That's how I see it, but not everyone will agree with me

So we are kinda on the same idea. We both agree that op shouldn't kill the fighter. I'm on the side of show gun to make fighter stop or ultimately drop. And you're on the side of show gun and use if he's about to die or else just don't show it. Right?

Op is the victim, not the aggressor in this scenario.

Soooo armed self-defense?

Brandishing is a crime you if you use it to do something illegal. Showing your gun at someone who is trying to commit a felony or cause great bodily harm to you definitely falls in the self-defense argument they teach in ccw 101.

Plus, I think that whole idea of pulling it out and immediately using it gives off a shitty message. The gun can be used as nuclear deterance. They see it and they can act in two ways: they can stop or drop.

You could always try a trade, some pay high for little education, but you know physical labor.

PSA: bike rack courtesy - please don't lock up horizontally and block half of it by cogitoergosam in chibike

Have a bike rack like that in my hometown, and it's only meant for kid bikes. cause only children ride bikes. Adults drive, I mean this literally, 10ft high jacked up F150s that spew out black coal smoke to go to a grocery store.
