Yep, that's what I was going to say. A lot of tough talkers in
this group.
But my guess is that most of them would high tail it out the back
door if someone broke into their house during the night.
Confronting someone who you
don't know is armed or not that breaks into your house at night is
either stupid or takes a lot of guts. From experience I know that
most guys don't
have a lot of guts. In fact, it's usually the ones who talk about
what they
would do are the ones who are the first to run when confronted. I
expect all
the yahoos talking about what a great thing it was to kill two
people are just ignorant loudmouths blowing a lot of hot air.
Scratch that, I know it.

I live on a 1-acre lot in an unincorporated section in DFW, very
built up all around me. I always have a pistol in my pocket, and I
have one at hand by my bed, along with a flashlight. You can bet I
have a gun and a flashlight when I get up to check on noises.
Oh, and my wife has a shotgun and a Colt revolver on her side of
the bed.
We live in a very quiet neighborhood, but you can't be too
careful.

I live in a "bad" neighborhood (four different gangs claim my
street) in Memphis . If you see me , count on my being armed (I also
have a carry permit) . Within reach of my side of the bed are an
assault rifle and 100 rounds in strippers , a 12 guage shorty pump ,
a .45 auto with spare clip , a 20 guage bolt loaded with #2 3" mags
. And a couple of hold-outs ... I also have two large dogs , whose
main job is to wake me up ... and harass you until I get there .
Oh and Hawke - I'm also a 'Nam Vet , and no stranger to dead gooks .

Holy cow. No claymores? No howitzers loaded with cannister shot?

They make a nice conversation piece in your foyer, aimed out the
door. d8-)

Well , they didn't useta all be loaded . Until the second time the
gangbangers tried to kill me . I don't call the police anymore . I just make
sure when a new face shows up they get warned that I'm armed to the teeth ,
have trained "attack" dogs (actually , family pets that are very protective)
, and would love to introduce them to their maker .
"Don't start none , won't be none ..." is the operative phrase here .
