is it really? I never considered it myself, I know that they give all kinds of checks for them, I wouldn't think I'd have a problem getting one but with bureaucracy who knows, I went for a car emissions yesterday and had a problem because my ignition is kinda squirrelly, the dingbat asked if i would forego suing them if they fucked up the car turning the key, always some stupid issue dealing with those people. There are other weapons you can use though, I've seen really strong mace work extremely well on most people. Tasers can be effective too. Shame we have to discuss this but I'm sorry, there are just some real fucking dumbass' out there who can't do anything but disrupt everyone else's lives.
I've never tried to apply to get one, looked into it and was just too much of a hassle, not worth my time. I live upstate so it's a lot more country and gun friendly than nyc, which is super strict on guns. So I can go buy a shotgun or hunting rifle with a license and a quick bg check and be fine, pistols are more complicated no assault rifles allowed in the state, I don't think.
I moved into a rough neighborhood in the city and thought about buying a shotgun just in case something crazy happened, but I've never been a gun guy and haven't felt the need to get one yet. One of my best friends (we go way back) lives out in Buffalo and is an avid hunter, been trying to get me to go out there and shoot some deer with him but haven't taken him up on the offer yet.
yeah mace and tasers are good shit and nonlethal but effective.
