oblivescence Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Well we added everything up...it comes to about 2200 worth of stuff. We're calling the insurance provider tomorrow...and then ADT home security is coming out tomorrow. Also.....i'm gonna make d3 buy a gun....for me :-). They will hit another house....ours is the 3rd one hit here recently. I'll be ready next time :-). Just make sure you don't shoot them in the back, sounds allot worse in court. I assume you know how to handle yourself with a gun, just about everyone in east Tennessee does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy with my Mossberg, and some steel 7 shot will work wonders for taking them down without blowing their legs out . Most 8 or 7 1/2 shot is lead, which may get you in trouble in court. Look up your area's castle law, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Well you're not going to be shooting too far, and want to do minimal damage. 7 shot will probably go through your drywall and that's it. Plus, they get a lot more scared when they hear you pump the first round in . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8baller07 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I'd be craping PISSED that someone broke into my house with my wife home alone, without me there. I'd get a bigger dog, and a gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

romeo55 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 A gun does no good if your not home, it just gives them something else to steal unless you carry it with you.... Most low-level house thieves aren't stupid enough to rob a house with someone already in it (would you?)... If you really want a weapon to protect yourself... it isn't too difficult to procure a permit to carry a concealed weapon... Tennessee is one of those great states fortunately.

Just because you have a gun doesn't mean your safe it could do the exact opposite. Also you need to know how to use it properly otherwise it does nothing for you. You also have to have enough courage to use it if the time ever came were you really need to and be able to live with the consequences if you killed someone in self defense.

Kamikaze_Badger Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 A very popular psychological study was done on the morals of women, once. I have the exact info in my psych notes. But women, most often, have different morals than men do when it comes to life. I believe the study was asking women how far they'd go to get medicine to save the life of an infant. Most would break into and steal from a pharmacy, while most men wouldn't go as far, at the time of the study. Something along those lines. But I don't think one semester of a college level intro to psych class makes me a good judge on that . Trust me on this one... if a woman feels her life is threatened, or the life of a loved one is, they will stop at nothing to protect that loved one, especially a child. Whitelightning posted a thread here once after a private investigater forced his way into his home, with his wife and son alone. She had the glock loaded and the safety off. The only risk is that, to quote a cop, "Gunfights rarely end before the clip is empty." Regarding being home, like I said, a real dog would have helped (j/k). But they are installing ADT it seems, so that should help out. They should probably also invest in strengthened door frames, as that's what usually breaks when someone kicks a door in. http://www.homesecuritystore.com/Home_Security_Tips.htm more info.

CelticaFLM Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 D3 has a gun and a permit....and I know how to shoot. I don't feel safe there....and I know they would very much like to come back. I can feel someone watching. They will try to hit another house in the area. I don't have any kids yet....but the dog means a lot to me. I won't shoot to kill....but i will shoot someone knee caps off and proceed to beat the crap out of them. I can't get rid of the sick feeling...knowing that someone was in my sanctuary. I HOPE they do come back and they better hope my dad or d3 catches them first because I will rip them apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, when it comes to a situation like this, you have to shoot to kill. Otherwise, they can turn around and take you to court. Yes, you can be held liable for the injury caused to a person, even if they break into your house. Besides, the silver tipped hollow points I have loaded in pistol (.45) will make a hell of a mess. Permit or not, you have to be able to prove that you or a loved one was in danger. With no one to testify against you, you can simply say that they guy said he had a gun and would kill me, and then he reached for his back pocket. They'll be no dispute, as dead men tell no tails. Also, in the eyes of the law. A dog is seen as property, nothing more. --- Though this is a double standard, as police dogs are seen as officers and treated as such if one is injured in the line of duty.
