Can I do better? Considering one of those diablo black Powder shotguns.

You're perfectly armed if you were El Kabong
A short spear, like the traditional naval boarding pike.
Nothing wrong with BP guns either, they've put countless dicks in the dirt over the years.
I'd used the guitar anon. Seems well placed for defense.
>tfw Squire neck not ironwood
Acoustic guitars make shit weapons, they'll break on the first hit.
>they'll break on the first hit
second hit.
Then you have two guitars. Guitar wins every time.
I understood that reference
>not strangling them with the bass string afterwards
get an autistic guitar then. it has tard strength
You watch too much wrestling
>Diagnosed schizo noguns
Can you get well or is this a perma-fucked diagnosis?
not OP. There's no known cure. If he can manage things, and has good support, he might be able to function in life. Otherwise the destiny is jail or homelessness
this is a bit harshly put, but it's more or less true. owning a gun legally is out of the cards for OP, unfortunately.
I have experience in dealing with someone with that condition. It's exhausting.
>taking them
that's the tricky part. the person I deal with stops taking them every 4-5 years then goes off the rails.
>I have experience in dealing with someone with that condition. It's exhausting.
I'm sorry anon. And it's a terrible disease.
im schizophrenic, don't take any meds, and have over 50 guns. 3-4 times a year i have "episodes" where i see demons for a week straight. Have to sleep with the light on and hug a pillow while keeping my eyes open, big whoop
Just so you know, you can get medication to take only when you're having an episode, which would basically get rid of it. You don't have to suffer through it.
Are you even diagnosed. As an insomniac, if I don't knock myself out with something and get minimal sleep, during the day I'll start hearing things, get brain zaps, and sometimes get a vertigo fish eye lens sort of depersonalized perspective. At night I can look forward to hypnogogic jerks, waking dreams where I don't realize I'm in them until something seems off, and sometimes the night hag shows up. She looked like the dancing Ring girl from the Scary Movie parody. Told her to fuck off, I'm trying to sleep.
Probably how methheads get so irrational and see shadow people when they're coming off a binge.
most people with schizoidal tendencies need to stay on some sort of medication for the rest of their lives.
Schizoid is different from schizo
my fault, I am ESL. I meant schizophrenic personality disorder, or whatever it is called in the DSM V
Honestly most mental health issues do. The issue with schizophrenia is the fact they literally can lose touch with reality on a level others dont.
>Can I do better?
Get a better job, buy a bigger house.
Get a blind deadbolt for your front door and maybe your bedroom door as well. I had a guy try to lockpick his way into my apartment at midnight.
A short spear is good, as is any one-handed sword like a cutlass or arming sword. Practice using your weapon, look up the relevant HEMA/fencing videos on youtube, focusing on stance, attacks, measure (distance between you and your opponent), and footwork. If someone breaks in and they have a melee weapon it's likely nothing longer than a machete so you'll be using your reach advantage. If they have a gun, surprise them and strike quick.
Black powder is also a good idea but I have no experience with it.
Get one of these, .45 cal semi-auto air rifle
Judging by the pic you don't live alone, probably with family. So thats not really your "front" door, just your bedroom door. You'll hear them kick in your parents front door. You're fine. If you're paranoid (as admitted) brace your door with a chair in the night while in the room. That way when your mom comes to do her nightly "did anon piss himself" check she can't make you take your "skittles" (meds).
>Have pictured maglight and knife
That’s more than enough to have a nice day retard
If you are an actual schizoid, you should not have guns.
if you are genuinely a schizophrenic you should not have real weapons. one of my childhood friends became a paranoid schizo at age 20 or so. every like 6 months he does some combo of stopping sleeping, stopping his meds, and alcohol abuse (I dunno what comes first) and then he goes blackout psychotic. he is always found by the police roaming the streets or throwing shit around his kitchen yelling insanely etc., and fortunately every time it's happened he has never been armed. however since during these episodes you lose touch with reality/logic, there is really no predicting what you will do. in a delusional state if you had a gun you could easily have a nice day or people you love.
if officers find you and you are waving around even that little folding knife, they will kill you if you go at them. if you absolutely want a weapon, consider something that police would not consider a deadly threat, like pepper spray. the flashlight is nice too.
A lot of people with schizophrenia are completely fine once they are put on meds. If they have a good history of always taking them, there's no particular reason to worry.
>if officers find you and you are waving around even that little folding knife, they will kill you if you go at them
Although if OP were to have a psychotic episode this is the scenario most likely to result in harm.
i have very little faith that a PrepHole parent-dwelling schizo considering acquiring a "black powder shotgun" is super good about taking his meds
An American cop would still mag dump you with pepper spray kek
You should reinforce your door. Get bars.
>t. Lived downstairs from a drug dealer.
>not using pressure-treated 4x4s
Well, you were close to good enough. For future reference, regular 2x4s like your picrel can be broken. They tend to be a bit dry & brittle. Pressure treated lumber (even 2x4s) is saturated with brine and chemicals. They are much heavier, often/usually use a stronger base wood, and the moisture content keeps them flexible so they don't crack & break.
Of course, 1/2"x3" iron slats are even better for a few more dollars.
If I was as concerned as you seem(ed) to be about living near a drug dealer or similar violence-prone activity, I would have also attached an iron sheet about half the height of that door from face level on down. The door is somewhat secure for pretty much any forced entry, but people can still shoot through it unless it's armored up a bit.
Bonus in this configuration is that the cross-bars would be set against the iron sheet instead of the wooden door. The regular 2x4s like shown would be more than enough due to distributed force.
Did you catch all that, OP? Instead of focusing on weapons, see what you can do to seal the doors properly. If someone can't get in, you don't need any weapons. If you shift your focus to shields and protection rather than offensive weapons, your liabilities and opportunities to give people (like law enforcement) a reason to come after you drop off radically. Even knives are not a good idea for your situation.
What makes you so concerned that someone is going to come through your doors?
>t. Would-have-er
Yeah, thanks for the advice, know-nothing.
Anyone with a brain can ignore him. The plain 2x4 is fine because it provides enough strength to defeat the threats against the door. Combined with reinforcing the door to the jamb and the framing around the door, it provides as much protection as anything in the same format or placing.
Kicks, battering rams, shoulders etc. Are no longer a threat. If someone was going to cut in. It still achives its purpose: warning. No reinforcement is resistant to everything, chasing that is the task of fools.
Anon while I appreciate you being honest and forthcoming with your schizo diagnosis, I'll agree with the rest of the thread that you probably shouldn't have an actual firearm. However I would encourage you to acquire a baseball bat, you can be like that BONK anon from a couple years ago, it'll give you a much better result in terms of damage/stopping a threat vs energy spent/proficiency required
>BONK anon from a couple years ago
Alright.... I'll need background. I was pure 4chan at the time, fighting Nazis for my rabbi.
don't have screenshot on this pc but tl;dr:
>crackhead tries to break into anon's home
>anon is nogunz but has aluminium baseball bat
>cracks the crackhead on its crack head
>aids blood everywhere
>he says it made a GONK sound
and thus GONK was born
crackhead died as well i think
blessed be in GONK's name.
upgrade knife to a big dagger/short sword
I wish that normalfags would quit downplaying how fucked the meds they give schizos make them
feel. Some can function normally but it's a degenerative disease if untreated and the treatments have issues of their own. Alot of those people are fucked either way.
Feels more like it's about blunting them
rather than helping them.
It's almost like the mental health field is filled to the brim with bunk science and pill pushing quacks.
I just get tired of the hypocrisy. Schizophrenia melts your brain but there is no denying the pills zombify you and cause dementia/ed/adhenia/weight gain/withdrawal etc. People talk about "helping" these people but really it's because they see them as an annoyance. I can almost respect the nazis more because at least they didn't mask their contempt under pretenses. Liberals bitch about cops and jails but want the state to violate due process and institutionalize people
Then you have the flip side where every 4chanfag talks about euthanizing druggies and the mentally ill and normalfags are like this too but then mr normalfag has a tard baby or his otherwise normal son has his first psychotic episode and has a change of heart
I don't know what the answer is. I've seen just as many families clearly hurt by having a low functioning child that needs to be in a care home but I've also seen many people who could have been okay if society gave a damn.
I hate the homeless, i love the homeless but I also don't care when the homeless piss on some yuppies EV.
I don't really know what I'm trying to say here and I'm drunk rn. People are cruel morons in general pretending to be saints and everyone is equally a wannnabe Hitler and Jesus except when push comes to shove
I stepped in human shit and piss three times last month and have fought off schizophrenic meth addicts multiple times so I have zero sympathy for the edgelord nazis or trust fund bleeding hearts. If you want to lock these people away just be honest about why your doing it and if you want to help them actually fucking help them. Homeless, mental health and drug services are a MASSIVE racket and I will never not say Reagan was right to shut down the asylums but also be honest about the fact that you just can't help some people
Oh absolutely, but I do disagree that some people are beyond help, it is only that the methods of help are not currently understood. I understand that that is effectively the same thing, de facto, but I do think these solutions could have been found by now if two things had happened. Psychology should have been dismissed outright for being a complete waste of time, and psychiatry should have only ever focused on curing the disease instead of masking the symptoms.
Unfortunately there isn't as much profit in fixing problems as there is in moderating them.
It's a sad state of affairs for sure that unlikely will see any improvement, if anything degradation, in the coming years.
>Psychology should have been dismissed outright for being a complete waste of time
agreed, it's a complete pseudoscience. At the same time, let's abolish sociology, which is just psychology on a grander scale.
>psychiatry should have only ever focused on curing the disease instead of masking the symptoms.
the problem here is that psychiatrists are limited by our current knowledge of neurology, and it's difficult to advance knowledge in that field because it's virtually impossible to perform experiments in an ethical manner.
There is no choice with the pills. It’s either they are sedated zombies or they are 28 days later zombies running around and getting themselves/others hurt. Imagine an unmedicated psychotic schizo driving his car around. The pills suck because the disease is like cancer, it’s poorly understood how to stop it.
>I don't really know what I'm trying to say here
I'll help you:
>I feel very strongly that my opinion on this matter is a lot more important than others', because this opinion is mine.

I'm merely expressing sympathy for societies most vulnerable and expressing my disdain for those who virtue signal or try to sweep the issue under the rug under the guise of altruism where the most charitable interpretation is sacrificing the individual for the good of the group despite the normalized abuse you condone in the name of this eventually being used against said group as a whole. You just compartmentalize everything away but your talking about human lives. These people do have god given rights as much as you like to pretend otherwise
I don't care why people like you act this way but your behavior should be considered a pathology in and of itself
Even if meds fry your brain (they do), there's still a cost-benefit analysis to be made in the case of honest-to-god schizos, and most of the time the answer is

Pop a risperidone and Samael stops whispering sweet nothings into your ear real quick. Shit might be neurotoxic in the long run but it works, specially in a jiffy.
In the good old days we used to lock those fuckers up and throw away the key.
>it's a degenerative disease
does it get worse if untreated?
Lie on 4473
Short spear (3-4 foot handle)
More range than a knife/machete/club, still maneuverable enough to work in tight spaces, and if you buy multiple you have the option of chucking a few
Made this with <$50 and a trip to lowes
Kill everyone
