I once saw a sign posted just inside a door..."The door you just broke through was locked for YOUR protection, not Mine." Should someone break & enter, it'd give em something to think about. .....
I knew two women once - lived way back in the boonies. Their place got broken into & after that they didn't feel quite safe. Asked advice on home protection. FIRST - get trained in using an arm. My recommendation? A dog & a pump shotgun. If an intruder hears a barking dog & a shotgun action being racked, & still tries to get in, he's likely demented & you'll hafta..."Choot Em!" ..........
Firearm - never go for it if you don't intend to use it! You couldn't be more right, Cat! I know a prior MP (That's Military Police, not Member of Parliament ) He was taught exactly - and emphatically - the same thing.
Gloss: About police response time - When seconds count the police are mere minutes (or in your case, hours) away. See previous post - Anyone worth shooting is worth shooting twice! ..........
The double post wasn't so crafty. Had gotten to the bottom of the page. Posted. Looked at page 1. No comment. Thought I hadn't sent it, so sent it again. Hardly crafty. Kinda dumb, really.
Tea Party. Sorry, forgot y'all aren't from around here. The original Boston Tea Party inspired the modern political Tea Party. Tea = T axed E nough A lready!
2nd paragraph - unarmed people are sheep. Armed citizens are the sheepdogs. If my life is being threatened, there is no such thing as "excessive" force...anyone worth shooting is worth shooting twice..
Jac There are internet axe murderers? With the clap? Wanting to stay with people? All the makings of a fun weekend......For folks who like that kinda thing, that's the kinda thing they like!
It's on hold because we're broke after initiating two elective wars & "paying" for them with enhanced revenues that were supposed to come from tax cuts & deregulation - as in the banking industry. We all know how that turned out. Space exploration? We can watch the Russians, Chinese & Indians...and wish them well. Our future is is our past.
