Question About Family Safety While You're Gone

[Tweaker]

Many posters on the right track... many of them have the break in gun fantasy (put down 1).. that in their mind... they will always win...(no one so much as suggested that FAIL 1)

The best idea is to set up a layered system as mentioned. If you are focused on a gun as the center point of your defense system, then you are setting yourself up for failure...(no one so much as suggested that FAIL 2)

A gun is a big responsibility especially if you arm the wife who is not a gun nut(put down 2). Like flying, there is training and currency. There is also a level of maturity and emotional intelligence to know who the real threat is a 3am. Family members have been shot. Who wants to be the Dad who shot is wife, daughter or son because he was determined to live out his break in fantasy(put down 3). When your(paging grammar Nazi) a hammer, everyone is a nail....


Other points:

Light up your entry way both inside and out.

Leave a $100 and dummy wallet with expired credit cards on the foyer table. At times it might be just a druggie looking for cash....give valuables to the boogey man, he will just go away (LOGIC FAIL)

Put a big dog food bowl by your backdoor....

Neighborhood Watch is huge, besides its democratic(oh boy). Guns are fascist(you really do not have a firm grasp of what it is to be an American, and for that I am sad)... (Crash Davis) develop a relationship with your local police(The .gov is your saviour, the individual is both feeble and has no right to act in as he sees fit. Liberal brainwash fail). Get email address(damn this is so pathetic) and let them know when suspect activity is happening. A neighborhood will start to deteriorate when teenagers start to loiter, litter, vandalize, etc. Stop this, before the crime escalates..(are you copying from a handbook?)

Car/GPS. If your car is stolen thieves can turn on your GPS, press 'home' and the chances that you are not there are pretty good... bc they have your car. Instead, make 'home' the local police station. Call the cops and tell them your stolen car might show up...

Finally... control your fear. Especially you gun lovin' wack jobs(put down 4). (and yes, I have gun in the house..)

You don't get to sneak 4 put downs by the board with a femme, "I have a gun, too claim," Betty!

Congrats, with this you have been added to yet another Komrade's Ignore list. Life is too short and there are better things for me to read; just not from the "lamestream media" or its pedantic childlike adherents like yourself. Good night, Irene.

This bit of diatribe was brought to you by the letters W and B. My compatriot White Bob brewed me a Belgian Tripel. 9.2% ABV and descrumptious!

Are you ok? It seems your feelings are hurt too.... Did you get the Crash Davis in pararenthesis? If so, can you explain so we know you know...

Copy on Guns rights in the Constitution.....

However, just because you have a right, such as gun ownership and speech, or even freedom of religion, doesn't mean you should excercsie it...

Sorry if you don't like the put downs but the jerk reaction to the original post that guns are the answer doesn't speak a well thought out answer....


In addition, it doesn't mean that if you do excercise rights, that you are smart or mature about it......

When is the next gun show?

Who can afford to leave $100 laying around for someone to steal? $100 is more than a hundred rounds of .308 ammo. Who can afford a dummy wallet? Who the hell has a foyer? You obviously live a different neighborhood than most I do.

Gotta disagree with guns being fascist. Hitler was a fascist and the first thing he did was have the police take away peoples guns.

I do like your idea about the GPS though. That seems like a pretty sharp idea.

Man, for some reason I could not quote on that post.

Another good home defense weapon, try Cabellas, order a can of bear spray, not pepper spray for people, but BEAR SPRAY.

It shoots a thirty foot stream and if it can chase away a black bear it should do okay with most crack heads. It's an option that some city folks may not have considered, it's cheap, and requires the same ability as aiming a garden hose.

Agree on the dog and the shotgun, but make sure the bride is comfortable with a gun. Take her to the range or better yet, get her in a firearms safety course. The NRA has some great courses, especially for women.

Sounds like you are comfortable with the Steel the ML

Move it a large city where people are always around. < NY, Chicago, etc

Bad advice......criminals know that the gun laws of both of these places are so restrictive that the odds are great the only guns they will see are the ones they bring with them.

If you want a Kahr, get it now. This is the last year they're offering their airline pilot discount program.

No smart as$ answers necessary.

What state do you live in? Look at Castle laws for your particular state.

Too many effin psychotics in America for too many reasons. Mental insanity, job loss, poverty, crime of opportunity, tough economy, you name it. I don't give a sheet what reasons someone has. They have NO right to break into my home with the intent of stealing from me, hurting/killing me, and/or my hurting/killing/raping my wife.

I've been raised by a responsible father who taught me to use both his handgun (a Ruger) and his shotgun (Remington). I'm comfortable with guns. Currently looking for a personal protection weapon (leaning towards Airline pilot discounts deals with H&K Compact LEM and Kahr weapons). My wife has never used a gun, but I will teach her responsibly. Learn, and learn it well.

And for those you naysayers who think this will will never happen to you, please wake up. Look in past history with mass shooting sprees. Virginia Tech shooter. The Amish school shoooter in Pennsylvania, the Omaha mall shooting, Columbine, etc. etc. etc. You know what all of them had in common? The rampage ended only, and ONLY when the gunman decided to turn the gun on himself. No police shot any of these mass murderers. By the time police get there and attempt a rescue attempt, it is already too late.

....don't let it be too late for you. Be responsible, be safe.

Because we all know nothing bad happens when everyone's got guns...

EVERYTHING bad happens when ONLY bad guys have guns.Did your parents have any children that lived ?
