You gotta admit, this is pretty funny!

Yep, Liberals think its funny to joke around about something serious such as having to protect yourself and often dont know what firearms are but feel the urge to restrict legal owners or an all out ban, because firearms, by themselves are dangerous. Sound about right?

It's obvious, Paul. :roll: Any invaders or trespassers will die laughing. :lol:

That's actually a very effective home protection kit, for those who do not wish to use firearms ( such as myself ).

You throw the wrench in the assailants face, then when he's distracted, you paperclip his testicles - then cut his throat with a sharp shell.

For myself, I use a simpler method: I throw wh**ever is handy, then while they're ducking, I cut their throats with my 10 inch Bowie knife, or stab them through the eye, whichever is easier at the time. I have knives stashed all over the house, so I don't have to go looking for where I left a shotgun, assault rifle, grenade launcher, or wh**ever other device looks cool.

I've heard the old "bringing a knife to a gunfight" joke, many times, but here's the thing - I don't let others determine what kind of fight it'll be. Most assume that because they have a gun, I'LL assume that they have the power, but I do not - so, by the time they realize that they've brought a gun to a knife fight - they're already bleeding out and the fight's over. :mrgreen:

Great strategy and attitude!
As for me, I've lived in questionable neighborhoods almost all my life (and in SF, no matter where one lives, a questionable neighborhood is no more than about 6 blocks away) and never felt the need for a firearm. Many might say the odds are that I will need one soon, but I guess i'll take my chances.

The prob is obvious: The shells don't work without primers, powder and bullets. Do I have to explain everything?

I was stationed in the Bay area for a while ( Oakland Regional Naval Hospital), so SF is familiar to me, even the tenderloin ;) . But do not despair, as I've no doubt your home is saturated with weaponry. Chairs, books, crockery, TV's, wh**ever is handy - as long as you're prepared to act FIRST. The cowards that do home invasions and the like, always assume that, because they have a gun, folks will freeze up, and they usually do unfortunately, but for a brief period of time, THEY actually freeze up - waiting to glory in the results of their power - and that's when you strike.

A cracked skull from a blow by the American dictionary, is as deadly as a bullet to the head - and there are never any misfires. You will have to condition your mind though, to avoid the "he's got a gun" paralytic response - changing it to " the sumb***h got a gun :evil: :twisted: " and whup some a$$.

That's all well and good, but if 2 or 3 guys break in and you have to take them on with your knife, I'll bet you loose. Crooks are not all stupid and they will shoot you in a heartbeat if you come after one of them with a knife. Besides, they like to come in when you are in bed and sound asleep and then they have you.

I already had someone break in on me at 2:30am while I was in bed. I woke up to see him standing in the doorway of my bedroom and reached under my bed and pulled out my AMT long slide and jacked a round in the chamber. All I heard out of him was ah s**t and feet pounding down the stairs as he flew out of my building. I had a second story apt at the time and all we had was outside stairs. I think he hit maybe two of them on the way down. By the time I got out of bed and to the window he was long gone and I never got a look at him, but I did get a new lock installed the next day.

Paul, Please do protect yourself..You may not feel the need right now, but it is just a matter of time for more attacks etc..Likewise, we don't need terrorist for what has happened to society as we once knew it..People are more paranoid now, more jumpy in general and have less than they had before, resenting those who appear better off than they....

At least have a game plan of defense in mind..If opposed to guns take some classes in self defense..Something is better than nothing..You can literally k**l a person with one blow, open handed, using your palm hitting upwards right at the tip of their nose....Did you know this?? If so, good, if not, take a class and learn how to protect yourself..One kick to upper chest can also take them down, permanently as well..

For me, my gun is better..I'm smaller than most men and not as strong, nor do I want any physical combat~~~

I am 60, and have mobility issues from injuries. I am not deluded enough to think I am a match for much of anyone right now. Thirty years ago I was. My best defense is to avoid situations when possible. Since I am too crippled up to run, or put up much of a fight, I guess I'll just have to shoot them.

I am with you, Loki.....I really do not want the physical contact anyway....You never know what illness or diseases they may be carrying..Why win the fight only to die of wh**ever they had in that physical contact aspect anyway??

Distance and down works just fine for me....We are so callous aren't we??? lolololl

Hope your doing well and feeling better......Happy New Year to you as well....

I'm full of love andhomemade chili at the moment, and am trying to convince my 6 month old Pit Bull puppy that the recliner is not her personal property. BTW, I named her "Peaches," since she is from Georgia. A friend inquired as to why I didn't just name her "Peach Pit," given her breed.
