Life is precious not property, that's what insurance is for. Another step backward by the chicken little party to increase violence rather than decrease it.

Shortly after we moved into our old house in the West End, 6 years ago the neighbours told us about the guy who used to live there. Poor guy tried to stop the gangsters from stealing his car. He spent 6 months in the hospital, and had to sell the house.

Then there's my friend Jeff who was shot in the face with a sawed off shotgun way back in 1997 when he tried to stop the gangsters from stealing $60 from the Family Foods on Arlington where he worked.

It's not worth it, and our government shouldn't be encouraging vigilantes.

And you would prefer a system that would get you arrested for defending yourself?

Do you ask that expecting anything but yet another one of Curtman's "I hate Harper" soundbytes?

Not really, no.

"If pot were legal......"

... then there wouldn't be gangs to have to defend yourself from!

[ShepherdsDog]

...everything would be unicorns and rainbows. We wouldn't even need the police.

No I'd prefer that people don't confuse defending themselves with defending their flatscreen TV.

If someone is inside your house how do you know they plan to stop at just taking your stuff?

Try and stick to the topic. That's a different thread all together.

So it's better to just shoot them rather than take the chance?

[Lemmy]

No, not shoot them...bash their fucking heads in with a Louisville Slugger. I haven't got time to find the key, unlock the cabinet and load the weapon. You're in my house? You're goin' down long before I could get at my guns.

[ShepherdsDog]

You might be willing to take a chance and risk the safety of your family, but most people aren't.

that's why you send the dogs down first...it buys you some time....if there's anything left.

Well you and Lemmy can escalate the robbery to homicide if you like. But you are the ones endangering your families.

Seems like you're the one who said he was willing to take a chance with his family.

How is it that I'm endangering my family by subduing an intruder in my home?
