Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I see... so this would be a person who is so extremely stupid that they would attack someone with a stun gun on their belt, but not a regular gun.
That doesn't sound especially plausible.
And, again, I never said they were a deterrent, you did. I can't answer why they would have the same level of deterrence when, yet again, I never made a claim that they were a deterrent. I was merely responding to your claim that they were.
You seriously still can't comprehend why someone would more likely attack someone with a less than lethal weapon than someone with a lethal weapon?
Can you explain why?
You said a stun gun is a deterrent. You also claimed they are the same level of deterrent as a gun.
And that's where the communication breaks down, I think. My point is not that guns are an effective deterrent, but I was explaining that from the perspective of the queers that live among bigots, they would only open-carry if they think that doing so would reduce the risk of being attacked. You then provided an alternative method of carrying a stun gun. Is it wrong to assume that you were claiming stun guns are an effective deterrent, then?
Okay, you're clearly not actually reading my comments since I've said multiple times now that I am not claiming that either are deterrents, so I'm just going to end this conversation. If you're not going to read my comments, there's no point in continuing.
