I plan on buying a rifle soon and was wondering if the impact from discharging it would be too much for my brain.
I'm very sensitive to jolting. How could I lessen the impact? Thanks, and God bless. Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |

BTW, I didn't ask whether I should buy the rifle or not...I asked how to reduce the impact so my head doesn't jar.
Smart ***.

SpaceCadet,
If you feel you must have a firearm, a rifle is not for you - the kick would be bad for you, it will percuss your injury, and most probably disorient you in an order not to be further able to be of any assistance to your loved ones. MyHeadHurts is actually trying to help, no matter how short the answer, being that you will hurt yourself... the explosive noise of the shot would also affect you, and most likely give you more problems than you want..........and a rifle is not something useful to defend your home with, if you are not experienced . You should contact law enforcement, and ask about handguns, if you must have a firearm, and go thru the proper procedures for protection - you have enough problems from your history....don't bring down more on yourself. Keep moving forward with the positives you are thinking about and working toward as best you can and best wishes guy. |

All weapons have recoil please reconsider. Also most triggers only require 14 pounds of pressure to fire the weapon. A three year old can fire one. I would recommend a strong pepper spray and taser. If you know a law officer you trust speak to them. BTW firearms and depression are usually bad neighbors.

Would a handgun w/ a silencer reduce the kick?

Maybe this post was missed by some? If I was stuck in a very bad area I would consider some ways to protect my self & family. Other protection methods have been mentioned.
