Originally posted by capt. apathy kinda immature to ask for a thread lock, just because you don't like the opinions (or realities as the case may be).nobody was abusive to you or rude even, those are the kind of things threads get locked for. locking them because you don't like the opinions isn't regulating, it's censorship.killing nuisance dogs is a common and acceptable practice in almost any farm or rural community. this isn't the same as people killing just to kill or for fun, it's just something that has to be done.and if hanging a dead dog on a fence (a bit extreme in my opinion) will make that city family (who drove to the country to drop off a litter of pups, that they didn't have the heart to take to the pound), freak out and turn the car around, I guess I'm for it.
I say pistol or lever/bolt action rifle, still intimadating but less likely to hit someone with the pellets..
Originally posted by MoRphEuS A pistol is a good home defense gun. Shotguns are great, pumps are the best because there's nothing like hearing a pump shotgun in the dark. The robber knows he's in deep chit.Rifles? Hell no...Unless you are the only person living in the house. If you start shooting a high power rifle in your house, bullets will start going through walls and the chance of you killing one of your kids or your wife is increased.
Originally posted by mudder Do you think a 4570 is a good home defense weapon? with the bayonet it's about 8 feet long:D I guess it would scare the bejezus out of someone and I could hide in all the smoke to reload. Anyway I'm more worried about the albino brain chiggers massing on the roof in the winter than squirels or berguulars.I have since aquired a nice 12 ga with pistol grip
Originally posted by beet1e LOL - sounds like you have some horrendous crooks in USA. I just lock the doors at night. Mr. Chubb makes exceedingly good locks - keeping my family safe these past 100+ years.
Originally posted by _Schadenfreude_ According to statistics where I live in London I can expect to be burgled once every 38 years, I lock the house when I go out but otherwise why bother...
