I put it to you this way Beave, if saying one of those thugs happens to break into my home or cause harm to me are my kin, lets just say the good lord will take the good from the bad. I am 54 years and have all the bull i can take, if you treat me with respect you will get the same, but if you are a big mouth Iain't the baddest around but you will rember who you meet, and me and you neither are going to look to good . I a country boy, 54 years and don't mind a good fight if it will fix some things. Might need 911 beacuse him of me one will need a ride to the horsepitle, no cops. that just cost tax payers more money.Next time we meet he will go his way and I will go my way or we will fix this one moretime. just my 2 centsQuote:

This Right isn't "allowed" me by any government or piece of paper, it's what being free means. You can exercise your right to be a victim if you so choose, and I won't attempt to tell you that's wrong. All I expect of you is the same in return for choosing my to be responsible for my own well-being. I make my own choices and live with the result of them. I am responsible for myself and won't accept anyone who wishes to interfere with that.Quote:

Nobody likes thinking of terrible things like this happening, but ignoring it won't make it go away. I hope nothing ever happens in your life which makes you regret your choice, I know it won't mine. Being armed is no guarantee of survival, but I like the odds much better, and I'm all about increasing my odds when it comes to defending myself. I hope all the bad guys out there continue to read posts like yours because they're going to be in for a surprise when they run into those who don't follow your way of thinking.
Perhaps if there's ever a time you're put into a situation where someone wished to do you harm, someone will be there to help you. Then again, perhaps not. Offer a hug (along with your wallet, keys, vehicle, boat, gear, and anything else they want from you, including your life) to the bad guys, let us know how that works for you.
Wonder if EB's neighbor has a sign in his yard that says EB doesn't believe in protecting himself.Quote:

Being in total darkness he didn't know if he hit the man or not. He found him in his front yard. He wound up with a broken arm, knee blown out with a shot in the struggle and stitches in his head from the blows from the chair. If had not had the gun, he and his wife would probably not made it thru the nite. The good lord was with him and his wife. Both are faithful bible believing Christians. He still has problems and issues on what took place, but knows he did the right thing in protecting him and his family.

Conclusion. Make you own excuse. Seems to me DUI laws don't stop drunks and gun laws don't stop crooks and crazies.
Wonder how come things like this never happen at shooting ranges?
Not don't go bringing facts to this discussion. LolQuote:

Someone throws a stone and hits the man, knocking him off the fence.
Question: Will the man fall into the 'gator pit or on the soft lush green grass?
Answer: Friends don't let friends walk on fences where 'gator pits are involved.
Moral of the story: Some folks have friends trying to look out for them, and don't realize it.
locked & loaded at all times:biggrin
or negligent doctors and their abortion clinics, the beave is consumed with........ i know the answer

Just sayin.
So if someone breaks into my house. With the intent to harm my family. I'm suppose to treat them well? Because I would never break into someones house and harm their family. Maybe I just misunderstood what you are trying to say? As far as love thy neighbor. Well that has got a few people shot as well..lolQuote:
