Uhm, I was asking for your home address, not your dorm address. Don't worry, your family can hide with you! I figured your family might have a few nice things.

You can trust my good will. I won't hurt anyone!

Get my point!

I doubt you could even find it, if th Pizza man can't find my house, then I doubt you can.

I am a bit more motivated then the pizza delivery man. I'll find it.

If it is that tough to find, I guess the police response will be pretty slow too! Woot! Woot!

Nope believe me they know where it is at.

The reason I have a handgun in my house is safety. A .45 shell is safer for my neighbors and other people in the house then a 7.62 round.

FYI, I have been in the house when someone broke in when I didn't have a firearm. I have been in the house when someone tried to break in and I did have a gun. Oh and I've been hit by a bat...

Please wait. I can get worse!

I usually like to go ten steps or so past poor taste!

Besides CB is playing back. If it upset him, he could PM me and I would stop. As it is I think we are just goofing!

I could care less what 1de does, I just consider the source

another story

About 3 years ago I was driving by my place of business around 10:00 P.M. The building was supposed to be closed. Since I work just oustide Newark, NJ. I decided to go inside. Noticing the front door unlocked and lights on inside I decided to go in and investigate. Not really thinking much of it first. The people I depend on to lock up are not always dependable. I went inside with my handgun drawn. I did not know for sure anyone was inside but I wasn't sure. False alarms also cost money. To my surprise I found 2 employees inside. They were not supposed to be there. When I yelled to them and they saw my 9mm they were quite scared. Needless to say things were easily resolved in conversation. But things could have been much worse. If they saw that I had no protection I probably could not have protected myself from the both of them. I am extremely glad I own a handgun. Every good responsible citizen should.

That kind of statement scares me.

Why didn't you call the cops like you was suppose to, it doesn't (or shouldn't) cost anything for cops to come investigate a call you make, now a false security alarm is something else. Why did you take it one yourself to find out what is going on. That is the job of the cops. If you would have done what you was suppose to do then you wouldn't have needed a gun. The gun means you now feel "safe" or all mighty, to the point were you can take actions which you shouldn't do all the while putting your life on the line.

Any action that takes the responsibility away from the Government, and puts it in the hands of the PEOPLE where it belongs, would scare you.

God forbid people don't want to be victims all their lives, depending on someone else for their own safety.

Know what cops are really good at?

Cleaning up crime scenes.

Know what cops are really bad at?

Actually preventing crimes.

There have been 2 robbery homicides in a 1 block vicinity to my business in the last year and half. There are alot of false alarms in industrial areas. After 5 security alarms in a year its $75 each alarm. Maybe it doesn't cost if I call. But this was a non-emergency. I'm not sure I would call just because I saw lights on inside the building. Faster and easier to take care of something like this myself. Like I said I really wasn't thinking there was anyone inside. I just assumed my guys left the lights on. I felt that in the remote possibility there was someone inside, I would be prepared. There is also no difference if this was my home. I have no local police. The police station is at least 15 minutes away. I live in an exremely rural area. If I call for police I am on my own for quite enough time that virtually anything can happen.

So if three men were raping a woman, you would go call the cops? I feel sorry for you. You have a long time to live in the screwed up little reality you've created for yourself. I couldn't live with myself if I thought like you. If I can stop peopl from doing harm to other s I will. And I will protect my family and friends with deadly force. That is my responsibility as a man. A child does not have those responsibilities. A child should run away to go call the police, and then wait thirty minutes for them to arive to clean up the crime scene and take photographs of the bodies.

[CasingBill]

BTW

I don't disagree that I probably should have called the police. It was just a last minute thought as I was entering the building and I opted to not turn back around. Rooster you are definately right though. We need to take action when we see wrong being done to someone. As a responsible gun owner it should be me who steps up to the plate. Not to be hero or something but stop pain inflicted on someone else....definately. I wouldn't think twice in that situation.
