Hi Jow Forums, I've got a little conundrum for you all...
>get home from work, get out of car, throw coffee cup in our trashcan up next to my house >see a man's shaving kit inside on top of garbage bags, reeks of axe body spray >wife knows nothing about it >open it up, see two hypodermic needles inside >nope.jpg >call cops, they come by, open it up >"Oh yeah OP, those are loaded and ready to go, look at that." >wtf??? loaded with what? >"Oh yeah, there's a bunch more heroin in there too. This is somebody's stash. We'll take this back to the station and destroy it." >"We're getting calls on a daily basis on this stuff. It's unbelievable, this being such a nice, small town." >I'm standing there still in shock. As the cop drives off, I joking tell him we'll give >them another call if the junkie comes back for his stuff... >wait...the junkie will come back for his stuff
So that's the fucking problem, Jow Forums. My wife and I have two daughters, ages 4 and 8. She runs a home daycare. We aren't allowed to have guns. No dog, no security system. I am 100% convinced that the addict that hid the drugs at our house will be back for them tonight. What will they do when they see that their stuff is gone?
If it were just me, I would gladly get some coffee and do a stakeout while shitposting on Jow Forums until they showed up. I have other quite effective means of defending myself, and if they came in, it would end with one less degenerate off the streets.
But it's not just me, I have children to protect. What do?
There were two syringes ready to go, and a small coin purse "with a bunch more in there" according to the cop. I regret not bending over and getting a look, but I was in total shock and frankly wanted nothing to do with any of it at that point. All I could think was "what the fuck is this doing at my house?!?"
It was a decent amount for personal use, maybe several hits. It wasn't a dealer's stash or anything like that.
the noguns thing sort of sucks. Get a baseball bat or a knife at the ready, and get wifey fully in the know. Lock every door tonight, potentially set up a camera. To be honest you'll get better replies on

ripperoni . careful ma niga , the addict is a man with nothing to lose

It's only her but I also work from home in a back office.
No guns.
Pic related is unironically my home defense solution at the moment, a 13th century arming sword and buckler, good spring steel and decent craftsmanship, along with two years of submission grappling. I have it sharpened well beyond "sword sharpness" due to the type of targets it's meant to engage. Length and off-hand weapon carefully chosen to account for door frames and other indoor hazards, and that a robber will most likely have at least a hammer or bat. A larger shield would slow me down, and buckler alone can cave your face in.
I've been studying hema and know how to throw proper sword strikes. Protip: properly and safely swinging a sword is completely different from what you see in the movies, what you see on Game of Thrones is equivalent to drunks throwing haymakers. Practicing room clearing drills is key, and you don't know excitement until you've investigated a possible break-in with only a sharpened piece of steel meant to cut someone in half. In the dark, on my turf, working the angles and with a little surprise, I know I could at least make a 1v1 trade if they had guns.
BUT, this is all merely academic. They say the essence of self defense is to not be in a bad situation in the first place, if you're fighting you've already fucked up. Grandma's house is 15 min away...
make a thread on Jow Forums, I'm serious. You'll get better advice there faster

Homeless junkies will probably just cry and run away after they see it's not in your trash. Just call cops if they show up to your property.
Wyatt Bailey
Looks like you'll get to watch the junkie shooting you and then murderraping your wife and children. Set up a live cam if you can before you bleed out, OP.
Lucas Jenkins
This. Stakeout tonight and call cops if they do anything shifty.

>calls the cops >"nice, small town" >We aren't allowed to have guns" >the scawy drug addict is gonna come near my children what do i do oh noezz
kys you sheltered cuck piece of shit.
to answer your dumb idiot question, he probably threw his stash in the garbage to get rid of it. that's what the garbage is for, right? quit running when you hear thunder jesus christ

For me, it's having a wife and traditionally raising two beautiful white daughters

I'm a drug user and dude you're fine. The drug addict is most likely aware that this would happen, he was possibly even throwing it away out of paranoia.
He's probably more worried than you are. Odds are he's unhealthy, probably weak, and probably not that smart.
You're not in any danger.

Alternatively, the addict will assume that another homeless person has stolen his stash. You should be more worried that the tramp will go and stab some fellow rough sleeper assuming they have the dude's heroin
Ayden Foster
what if the dude is nearby and was scoping the place whilst OP was chatting with pigs?

Firearms possession is a felony for us, as I had my wife committed 4 years ago in a suicide intervention stemming from severe post partum depression. We're both professionally licensed, so illegal weapons possession could end our respective careers.
>kys you sheltered cuck piece of shit. quit running when you hear thunder
I've trained myself to literally cut to pieces anyone who threatens my family. Were I to encounter you in an alley, I would merely engage in a little human origami and tear your rotator cuffs apart.
I know its really hard, but try for a moment to imagine life circumstances different from those you currently experience. Wrap your little walnut around that. If you had others you were responsible for, what would you do differently?
That does not look to be a full tang. How is the blade affixed to the grip?
Landon Adams
Thanks for the insight, anons. I don't have much direct contact with folks suffering from this shit. This would seem to be the most likely scenario.
See, this is the other side of the coin. Perhaps I've seen too many cartel face removal torture videos on /gif/. There are some fucked up people out there.
It's not a wall hanger, its full tang, hammer peened. A mass production model designed by Gus Trim for Kingston Arms. 9260 high carbon steel. Version 1.0 had some fit and finish issues, so I took a chance on V1.1 and was very pleasantly surprised, as are other buyers. Just cheap enough so I don't worry too much about fucking up the finish or getting wife aggro. But they got the fit and point of balance just right so it's real nimble and not choppy. No distal taper for that price, but a generous fuller helps keep the POB near the grip. I need to try some tameshigiri with it before too long.
