Default mob robberies?

What happens when they start targeting family homes? Is your family & house
safe from this kind of lawlessness? Better do a security audit now. Right
now.

My security audit begins with a loaded coach gun in the living room.

I'll check all five of my strategically-placed pistols later this night.

Night before last, 3:00 a.m., I awoke to some crashing around down the hall.
"Goddamn cat," I thought. Cat meowed; he was snuggled up next to me!

"Some sumbitch is trying to steal my couch out of the living room!" I
concluded. Then I thought I'd just pretend to be asleep inasmuch as I don't
like that couch very much. But then I thought "What if they try to take my
mounted beaver on the hearth?"

I extended my arm and retrieved my Glock 10mm and slowly approached the
door. Taking every precaution, I peeked.

It was my girlfriend pouring herself a glass of win. She had had several
glasses at her apartment and discovered she had an urgent need!

So I didn't shoot her.

Would that be called a "Mobbery"?

There was a local day-light burglary around here a few months ago.
Everyone was on their toes, keeping an eye out for each other just
after.

I had my garage door up one day, when I heard banging on the front
door. I stepped outside the garage and this guy was shocked at my
appearance so suddenly.

"You have a hatchet!!" He was stunned for a moment. "Yes, I have a
hatchet, now get your ass out of here!"

As he left, he kept looking back, mumbling -- "You have a hatchet!",
"You have a hatchet!"

Reckon so.

I've heard reports today that these mobs are already hitting private
residences.

I hope you folks are not counting on the cheap, pre-hung steel doors sold at
big-box building supply stores. One good kick by a drunk, uncoordinated
fool can split out the casement around the doorknob and deadbolt. Totally
worthless for security.

In a nearby town a man in his 80's heard someone breaking into his
house through the back door. He called police and advised them he
had a pistol. They told him to put the gun away the police were on
their way. He shot the man through the door before he gained entry.
The man was dead in the alley when the police got there. They haven't
charged him with murder yet. It's been about four days since it
happened. I hope the old man doesn't get charged but he probably
will.

I don't think you can have a 30(?) round mag. in your possession in
Kalifornia. It _don't_ matter even if the gun and ammo are ten miles
away.

Buy 'em when you can.

You are mistaken. As of Jan. 1, 2000 it was illegal to import, or mfg.
hi-cap (over 10-round) magazines in California, and illegal for most people
to sell them, but it is not illegal to possess them provided the owner had
them prior to that date.

Isn't that the way. Cops tell the good guys to get rid of
the gun. What then? Let the burglars beat you up, do your
wife, and steal your stuff? I think the fellow was a bit ill
informed, shooting through the door. Ought not have done
that.

Maybe the police didn't want to get shot by the fellow. They're not
going to know if that old man has enough wits about him in a stressful
situation not to shoot them.

Good. I would prefer to shoot them over here and have them die over
yonder.

A dead end alley seems appropriate to me. Can't have a bunch of
investigators traipsing around my lawn, damaging the turf ya know.

Technically, these "mob robberies" are really "mob thefts" (a robbery must
involve force, or threat of force, against a human being - you can't "rob" a
house or a store).

When they target a house, it's a burglary. Unless humans are at home and
feel threatened - then it becomes a robbery.
