This made me realize that I didn't even know where to look for a fire extinguisher because I've never noticed one in any store I've been to. Apparently they're mostly available in some section of hardware stores that I haven't been to often
Meanwhile there was a prominent booth for buying guns in every walmart near me until walmart stopped selling them altogether
Some grocery stores sell the smaller ones also. But yeah, Americans are super weird about safety. Taking a basic first aid course is going to help you save lives far better than shoving a pistol in your pants or learning krav maga
Always make notice of fire exits when you enter a building. That will more likely be useful than carrying a gun ever will
That's another good one. If you're bowling with your kids and a rogue firearms instructor starts shooting the place up and you know where the exit is, you might get your family out of there. If you pull out your piece and return fire there are now two unhinged idiots filling the air with lead
Wherever you go, always have a plan to evacuate everyone in the room
aldi and harbor freight sell some shitty little $20 ones
They’re right next to the smoke alarms.
Test your smoke alarms too btw
Don't forget CO detectors as well. Carbon monoxide is sneaky, and a simple detector could save your life someday
