I liked this one to much to pass up, it's a satirical mini-documentary that says a lot.

:laugh: :laugh: I liked that one also. Unfortunately, there is probably more truth to that video than satire as I am sure there are those criminals who feel threatened by gun-owning citizens.

The best part about this video is the sad truth in it. Personally I hope that all criminals know that this is a home where a gun lives.
I think there are a lot more folks out there with guns at home than you might think. Most everybody around here has a few but don't talk about it much because they don't want them stolen when they aren't home. One friend had a gun stolen that was later used in a robbery.

The last one is very true, all them are good but the last one is the best.
After my husband died I was faced with disposing of his collections so I decided on an auction. The auctioneer listed everything including about 10 guns. I realized that those guns were going to be where anybody could read about them, including pictures and on the auctioneer's web site and I was living alone, no next door neighbors. So I asked the auctioneer to take the guns home with him and state on the sale bill that they could be inspected at his office. Problem solved. By the way, about half the guns belonged to me anyway.
There is no need for anyone to know what you own or don't own. It isn't necessary to tempt the unscrupulous.
By the way, after I did 3 fire safety inspections this morning I went to the fire house for awhile and in came one of our oldest members. He's 96 and uses a walker. Last night he was robbed as he slept. Someone jimmied his window, slipped into his bedroom took his wallet off the dresser and slipped out the front door. He never heard a thing. He realized it when he found his front door ajar this morning .He knew it was locked last night. ..thank goodness he wasn't harmed. His gun did him no good at all. He lost more than $100.00.
His gun didn't do him any good Diane because he couldn't hear. Poor old guy needed a pan of cold water above his bed. if the door is opened.. the pan of water spills on his head.. wakes him up and he retrieves his gun from under the other pillow..and presents the intruder with a one way ticket to eternity..
*I know... not a patent device begging to be stolen.. but it sounded good* ;D
...better locks on his windows wouldn't hurt either. or an alarm system.
good video post tersa.
He has good hearing normally. The rat fink slipped in through the bedroom window, right by where he was sleeping, that's why he was so mad. The pan of water sounds good, but I'm not sure how he would get it up and down again without giving himself a bath too. :P Billy, he was kicking himself too, because his son was going to put in his window air conditioner and they forgot to relock it. It has gotten cold here again and he didn't need it. He really can't afford an alarm system.
The answer to the thread's question would be Big Brother...Then, when they decide to come door to door, they've already got documentation of who you are and what you've got...What better way to to be able to totally control us?
Catwoman, well said. I take it you would agree with the statement "An armed person is a citizen, an unarmed person is a subject"
