What an interesting day

[Mesa]

LOL...Spas 12...I own one. But they are illegal here in Cali so it is at a relatives out-of-state.

Sure it is.




This is exactly why everyone should own a gun.


How old would you guess this vagrant to be? Did he appear to be homeless, or just lost and whacked out on something.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

U better get it son!! Cleary this is the begining of the inevitable outbreak.

What are you packing?? Are you ready for the zombie outbreak?? Luckily I have enough bullets for everyone. You can borrow my AK.

He was mid 20's, 5'-8"-ish, white guy. Clean enough to not seem homeless, dirty enough to seem not to have been home for a day or two. Very average build.

And JosephCPR - I kept in mind that he may be someone who needed help instead of someone who posed a threat. But I also kept in mind that he could pose a threat as well. I don't assume someone needs to be shot right off the bat. But I do believe in being ready for anything...or at least as many possibilities as I can think of. This guy was completely wasted, he really didn't seem to be surprised when I told him he had the wrong house, and when I ask for information from him, he refused to give it. And I wasn't asking for his credit card number, just who he was looking for and if he had an address for them or a phone number or even a street name. He said he was lost and then said a street name and said he knew what direction that street was in. He did give me names twice, but they were different names both times and he seemed to be unsure of them. I suspect strongly that there was something other than a simple wrong house going on with this guy. At the point where he refused any help, but still could not give me a coherent story, and then stood a hundred and fifty yards off and stared at the house for far too long, I decided that concentrating on safety was what was prudent.

How old did he appear to be? He might be a man suffering from alzheimer and people here wanting to shoot him I will never understand you. Is there so much violence in the US that you need to sleep with your guns under the pillow?

I live in a very small town. We've had two incidences in the past week or so of guys with guns busting down doors and threatening and robbing people.

So yes, we sleep with guns.

I was actually kidding in my first post, but a man is entitled to protect himself and his family from potential threats imposed by others. Yes there are a lot of violent crimes across this country, and this is why I believe everyone should take the appropriate measures to prevent this.

I've been putting it off for far too long... my next purchace will be a 357.

....................

 

[Mesa]

That was my first purchase, just a little while back. Now I want more.

My next will be this one.

.357 rounds start getting expensive.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

One of these on the roof will suffice for deterrence:

LOL...makes the .50 next to it look like a pea-shooter.

.38 for practice.... .357 for business.

Sweet!! AK! I'm preparing my survival kit as we speak! I'm gonna head towards the Sam's Club down the street.

I completely understand your points. We all have the right to defend from potential threats, but I don't know, I also think it must be a cultural thing as I wouldn't imagine me or the people around me having to own guns to defend ourselves. In fact, not many people here (Spain) are allowed to own them

Just being curious, not judging

 

[devilof76]

There's no violent crime in Spain?

 

[jonny88]

Well that is interesting, to say the least. Glad you are armed and the wife and kids are away. Hopefully he will sober up and realize he was either at the wrong house or just having one weird hallucination.

ya the guy was must of been some lost and confused crack head or something.

 

[King Darkness]

Maybe he was diabetic

Nice of you to try and help though, I wouldnt have opened my door.

 

[JosephCPR]

Unfortunately, of course there is, but certainly not so many with guns involved

Are they allowed to have hunting rifles? I would say the majority of people who own guns have shot guns and rifles.

I've never had to use one, but living in the boonies like I do, with no big, strong man, you have to be prepared.

 

[JosephCPR]

Are they allowed to have hunting rifles?...

Sure, but you need special licences to get one. Not something you can easily buy.

Oh! And I am sure you would be brave enough to defend yourself...after all you are a pirate!

Yea and he may be a junkie strung out on meth waiting for the right person to open their door. Do you wear a seat belt when you drive?

 

[BadMoon]

US that you need to sleep with your guns under the pillow?

Nah but definately in arms reach.
