Just glad to hear that you and your kids are OK and maybe your next purchase should be a security camera. At least you would have pictures of the vehicle and guy for the police. I keep putting getting one off myself but this seems to make it a wise choice. That and hand gun ownership

I'm not so sure.. any man in easter-blue jeans just screams instability (amongst other things ) I would take on my Blue Brindle pit before I tried to tango with a man in that shade of blue.
It is completely lawful and within your legal rights as a homeower to shoot his ass.

+1 I see this same RCW every day at work, I just didn't want to argue.
I have this RCW printed and framed on my wall right next to the one in my shop that states that it's illegal for me to tattoo minors so when 17 year old bi+chy face goes "but shanaynay got her tattoo with her mom's signature over at ____" all I have to do is point to the wall.

They said it couldn't be done. It wasn't easy getting all those squirrel pelts, and even harder to get the chickens to wear them. And I wasn't sure I could eat that much cheese before the candles burned out, but who's laughing now?
BAHAHAHA! anddddd Josh has officially lost his gottamns

My head is still spinning over the AK-47 conversation we had last night . . .
I'm really sorry this happened Ron, and I'm glad both that you were there to fend it off, and that you weren't put in the position to have to use force to defend yourself and your property. Muggings, home invasions, and even random gang banger crimes are always something that happen to someone else - until the day it happens to you or a loved one. This is why both Linda and I got our CPLs. Maybe it's an illusion, but I sleep better with my 1911 cocked and locked on my nightstand.

I'm sure you've had a lot of excellent training, Ron. I didn't mean to imply that you were in need. I posted those links for those new to firearms. But good stuff for all. I'll be at Insights again in just a few weeks and I love my biometric mini vault too.

I didn't think that you were implying that at all, Ben. The link just made me think of that school that I went to 25 years ago.......
Although my wacky neighbor reported me to the county thinking I had a bomb shelter and being a trained sniper I could shoot her, because I'm always armed.
