Well, Stoney, it's always a toss up as to whether you are busting my chops or are serious.  :)I guess this time I guessed wrong, but at least next time I still have a 50% chance of being right, haha. With you and BZ, I have to flip a coin before I answer and then hope like hell I am right in my interpretation of your post, LOL.  |

I grew up with the leftover bandit and an overly paranoid mother. In my neighborhood, I must have been around 5, there was a thief who would break into people's homes at night, rob a couple hundred dollars worth of property and then eat some left overs in the victims' fridge. Before then, we never really locked the doors to our house or our cars. One night, the guy tried desperately to break into our home. After that, we put dead bolt locks on all the outside doors, and one on the basement door. Both sliding glass doors have since had metal rods placed between the door and the wall when not in use. And my father slept with a bb gun in the nightstand and a baseball bat next to the bed for many years. For my own security, my dad would let me keep my T-ball bat next to my bed in case the bad guy tried to climb through my bedroom window.

My apartment was burglarized 3 times in Utica, & my purse stolen from my office once at 401 Columbia St. In the latter situation I had no keys to start my car to go home in, nor keys to get into my house anyway. I lived alone, & a kind (& very handsome, which I think is a prerequisite for those guys) state trooper kicked in my front door for me, after I had described to him what I had on the walls (since I had no I.D.). The 1st time I was burglarized I was 19 & lived alone on York St. The jerk(s) went right in my underwear drawer & stole my rent money!!  Another time on Grant St., I fell asleep on the sofa & somebody apparently walked right by me & into my bedroom & stole my purse. Christ, I was probably snoring... Another time on Grant St. they took the screen out of the kitchen window, pulled up my landlord's bean-pole & used it to get my purse off the kitchen table. There were beans all over the floor, & my old landlord was PISSED. lol! |

Stoney, sounds like your the perfect candidate for a little self protection. I suggest you keep your whip on the Nightstand right beside a nice little .38 Semi. Get a nice Leather Case and a dainty Bra Holster. I found this link, you might get some great pointers (and shooters)! ;D www.ehow.com/how_4702234_choose-right-pistol-women.html |

I'd be so nervous, they'd probably take it out of my hands & use it on me!!! If they ever heard my mouth, they'd probably run anyways. Of course, I'd have to be awake for that to happen. |

that wouldn't be good Stoney, just picture the crook as Richard M Nixon, you will empty the mag, reload and repeat until the POS is vanquished! I imagine the perp as Castro or Hitler, more holes than a sponge when the smoke clears!

Where are you getting all that false information JR? Nixon wasn't a crook. He even went on television and told us so. Bill Clinton smoked dope once by didn't inhale, Monica didn't swallow, and Clinton swears he never had sex with that girl. A BJ must not be considered a sex act any more. I do believe one thing that Billy said. He said that KY Jelly made his cigar soggy and hard to light.  We do need to get our facts straight so as not to misinform anyone.  |

Follow one of the links on the bottom about Close Combat something or other. Apparently it'll teach you all you need to know to survive in three 45-minute lessons. |

Wow, the military sure wasted a lot of time and effort in teaching us to defend ourselves. Several weeks in fact.
I have to wonder how efficient the training would have to be to cover all that defense technique and theory in 2hrs and 15 minutes.

Or, alternatively, post some gattling guns around the perimeter of your residence, hook them up to monitors that know how to discriminate between friendly and hostile. Then set the guns to auto-aim and auto-focus. You'll sleep soundly from then on.

Naw, the gators might get out. And after two or three kills, unless they're a bunch of zombies from some bad Resident Evil movie, the intruders would stop. So, for one night, you might not sleep soundly because of the gun fire, but you'll sleep peacefully knowing that your domain is safe and protected. |
