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.




One morning I heard plaintive crys from a German Shepard dog that lived next door.  I listened to that for 20 minutes before going outside and checking it out.  The dog was hanging from the chain link fence, and I freed it.  Didn't consider the dog might bite me, it didn't.  And I was so drunk I could hardly walk.  But I saved the dog.

I say pistol or lever/bolt action rifle, still intimadating but less likely to hit someone with the pellets..


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.
If you don't receive Jesus Christ, you don't receive the gift of righteousness.

Only reason I want a rifle is cause I like 'em.. :p

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

Yeah there's nothing like an old Springfield Trapdoor with a bayonet for the upclose and personal moments to really get the job done. A good all round Home defense gun for sure. And compact to add to it all.;)

Or, you could adopt Mr.BlackStratmanRC51LAWCobrat xmx and have them all rant and rave on your your front porch 24/7.  That will surely keep the bad guys away as well as the jehova's witnesses on Sunday.

First off if you havent got the nerve to use it nothing is gunna work.  Very few will shoot first and let god sort it out ... the rest get killed by thier own weapon.  that said ...

I just lock the doors at night. Mr. Chubb makes exceedingly good locks - keeping my family safe these past 100+ years. :aok


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...

Yes but what are the chances that you can find something apetizing to eat?
