Robbers shoot Morningside dad

+1.I find Durbanites (in general) to be much more complacent about self defence than people from other provinces. Yes, they'll invest a bit in an alarm and security/armed response, but that's where it ends. I asked a friend (father of 3) what he will do should he awake to intruders in his home. His response: "Press the panic button" Most who i interact with have never considered owning a firearm and those who have, feel it is too much of a task to go through the entire process + they've "heard" it takes like whole year to get a licence. Most guys who have informed me that they own a gun do not edc. In fact, they do not carry at all.

That whole "it takes a year" thing is exactly what made me decide not to get a FA. I ended up getting a bow and now it's 18 months later. If I knew then what I do now I would never have given up (I hardly even started) and would have had it by now.

To be fair, there have been quite a few stories of guys in Durban saving lives with their FAs, though none this year that I can recall. Also, we don't live in gangstas paradise where every second oke wants to murder you, so perhaps relaxed is a better word than complacent. On the other hand, I also can't ignore that there have been a lot of incidents like this recently, suppose the levels are rising and okes need to start thinking and acting wrt self defense..
