Is nothing safe any more. Some one broke into our new house today and take a new lap top we got the boy for Christmas. The bad part of it all was our 15 year old was in bed sleeping.

Time to do some real thinking of home security.

Shiny's previous post jumps right out at me . . .

we have a dog. problem is the thing is so friendly it would open the door for the perps, lead them over to any valuables we might have, and help load them into the getaway van.

[shinyribs]

Shultz, I really hate to hear that,but I'm glad to hear nobody was hurt. But that is scary.

I don't know your area ( and this may not be the best advice ) but around here people pretty much know not to mess around on our property. There have been ''instances'' that have happened in the past that have people a tad leery of wandering around up here. Sometimes having the reputation of the neighborhood crazy guy pans out. Just a thought...

Be safe buddy. And be smart.


This is what sleeps beside me on the night stand.



Full of these.



"The Hornady Critical Defense 2 ½-inch .410 Triple Threat shotshell contains a mixed payload, unlike the buckshot loads that are loaded with three, four or five lead balls of the same diameter. The first projectile in the Hornady shell is a .41-caliber 115-grain FTX lead slug. The un-jacketed slug's hollow-point nose is filled with a red polymer plug, just like the copper jacketed FTX bullets used in the standard pistol-caliber cartridges of the Critical Defense line. The slug is followed by two .35-caliber lead balls weighing in at 65 grains each, which means they are slightly smaller and lighter than 000 buckshot pellets. This makes for a total of 245-grains of lead to throw downrange, which is about 15-grains more than a standard .45 ACP FMJ bullet at a published velocity of 750 feet-per-second (fps). "


I know this is not for everyone, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but walking around with this thing poking out of your belt makes people notice. Most people in this area know me and my family and know we are here to help out and be good neighbors. Just this Sunday Crys and I helped pull a girl's car out of the ditch. It wasn't an easy one to pull out without possibly causing more damage to her car, so it took about an hour and a half to get her going again. We are not the crazy gun people, but you also don't find people straggling up the driveway for no reason either. The ones that need to know...know. If that doesn't make sense to you than just don't worry about it.

Does that come in a 12 ga?

[shinyribs]

loool   No. And trust me, no more than what that pistol weighs, .410 is all you want. Crys shot this for the first time on Saturday and I had bird shot in it. It was a pretty strong kicker then. But then I wanted to see what one of those critical defense rounds would do to a jug of water. It really kicked then! And the judge was no more. Those slugs have a way of really pushing the gun back at you.  Expensive to shoot, but tons of fun.

Thank Guys

Some times I wound why people say get a big dog. They are pets not home security systems. Having weapons are nice for self protection, But how do you try to protect your loved ones when you are not there?

We got a home security system, Sure it is a monthly bill but I will fell better knowing that my loved ones are safer when I am away or some one can't clean house when we go to dinner.

[shinyribs]

That sounds like a good start. Prayers sent for safety big guy.

As most dog people know they are there more for their bark than their bite. My mom and sister both have pit mixes. If your coming up to the door you would think Satan himself was on the other side of that thin slab of wood, but id you were to open that door all you would see is 200mph tail wagging and the pet-me dance. The same goes with home defence weapons. Unless you are well trained in firearms (and not trying to offend anyone but I don't mean the folks who just shoot alot) the best home defence gun is a pump shotgun. You never need to fire it, just chamber it once and everyone who has ever seen a cop movie knows that sound!

This is true. And what a beautiful sound that is.

And I've never met a mean pit. Those are the most playful dogs I've ever seen. They look mean and ugly, but I've worked in a lot of houses ,around a lot of strange dogs, and never once had an issue with a pit. I love those dogs. Hard to believe, but the most vicious dog I've ever ran across was a golden lab once. That dog was pure evil and it's owner was afraid of it. Crazy.

well . . . Supreme Court decision on prostitution

we're a "progressive" society. no abortion laws, no prostitution laws, the legalism of euthanasia and marijuana o the table . . . but NO GUNS ALLLOWED if the progressives have their way.

Yes Free2,  Thats alot on the plate, I was disturbed to hear today that obama gave a thumbs up on the 55 million abortions (in the states, maybe he didn't put it that way) but still disturbing.   Not my place, I know most women want a "choice" but what is the choice?  It's tough, but I would choose life no-matter what.
??  I haven't had to make a decision but I know what it would be.   Hope I don't sound like a ""   cheers guys- no matter what your beliefs are  ;)

P.S.  I support the canadian woman's olympic team!
