Here is the way I look at it.

If someone breaks into my house you better bet that I am going to invoke the "make my day law" I am not going to ask questions about why the person is breaking into my house, what part of their childhood lead them to this point in their life and all that other nonsens... Nope I am going to protect, my family (if I have one at the time), me, and my possessions. The thought of a rapest/pedophile comming into my house and me not being able to stop them cold, is not a risk I am willing to take....

There's nothing quite like hitting a little skinny coyote with a 12-gauge slug.

Are you really asking a staff member if they know where you live? That's the funniest thing ever....

Oh - and since I've posted my address several times on here I'll just say this:

I have a big dog, a security system, and a very large shotgun.

The sound of the shotgun going click/click would be your indication that it's probably a good idea to try to remove my dog's teeth from your butt for long enough to get out....

And as far as the 4 kids in the house - they're all trained attack ninjas.. but are not strong enough to **** the shotgun...

taken to the shooting range by my uncle who had a gun collection and it showed us ( my bro and sis to) what bullets can do to an object.
I beleive that teaching how they work and what they can do is the secret to safety of guns in the home.
I will defend myself if it comes down to it and all of weapons are alklways at the ready and always loaded.
Safetys on.

Just teach your children about guns at an early age, if you hide them they will find them and think they are toys.
I learned to repect them at a very early age and learn to shoot at the age of 6.
If you're lucky it works this way. Unfortunately a lot of gun accidents with kids, the parents thought the same thing.

short story.....

about this time last year. A Young Man ran out of gas in front of my house.... I happened to have some gas in a can in my garage and I gave him the few gallons he needed. While putting the gas in his tank he spotted a beat up truck I had sitting in a carport... he wondered if I might be willing to sell or trade it. In fact I was.

I talked to my husband that evening and devised a plan to trade the truck with the guy. the guy came over and worked on the truck for a few hours everyday in the afternoon to get it running so he could take it - in exchange he was going to give us his beretta - which my husband wanted to 'work on'

The guy was getting creepy by the 3rd or 4th day and My Husband insisted that I keep my gun handy just in case.

after a week he finally got it fixed and was coming over to pick the truck up and do paperwork... he was a few hours late I had no idea where he was until he called me from JAIL to tell me he'd been picked up on a warrent and would not be over - but that his mother would handle the paperwork for him. After speaking with his mother I find out he was picked up for STALKING, a quick google search of his name returns results of him having been court marshalled (he was a marine) and dishonorably discharged for similar charges.

a month later I begin getting love notes sent to me from him. (he was sentenced to a year in prison) he sent me a birthday card on my birthday (I NEVER told him my birthdate)

He is due for release on March 25th, and that date is closing in fast - I am not real happy about this.... and I am making sure I have a restraining order in place for myself and my family... and You can bet I'm glad I have a gun.

My work is never done. The next victim is already lined up.

I didn't know you could do taxes from jail. So is Hawaii really solitary?

Yikes Sierra. When I feel uncomfortable I have my pistol with me at all times.
As for taking the shotgun to the coyote, nope, it was a 22 long rifle that got him. I am a pretty darn good shot and I was a long way off, only took one also.
People have different needs for guns and rifles. I started out just collecting old bb guns. Then decided that I wanted something for protection.
And your right, walk in my house when you are not welcome here and you wont do it a second time.
