The Gun control Thing (What would you do?)

[Jesus Jones]

Seriously, there's no point saying to yourself this would never happen to me because you feel secure within your own four walls.

Scenario:

You're all sound asleep with your missus and the kids tucked away in your lovely crime free village. There's a noise, but the dog's ain't barking, you know something is wrong. You look out the window and see a couple of armed thugs with maybe a knife or a gun. You hear a noise downstairs that tells you there's more that two thieves, rapist or opportunist, whatever they may be.

What do you do?

Stay upstairs and lock everyone in the same room and hope the naughty boys go away.

Shout and tell them you'll phone the police?

Phone the police anyway and hope the nasty people haven't heard the kids cry and speed up there crime.

Take your gun and let them know you have one?

[Davis Knowlton]

No point here in calling the cops.


I'd call the armed security guard force which roams the gated compound 24/7, and put them on it.

[nidhogg]

Take your gun and let them know you have one?

That one. Definitely.






....uh, could you tell me where I keep it though?

[pseudolus]

Set the cat on the bastards

[Mr Earl]

If they entered the Earls inner sanctum, I'd go boiling water and garden hoe loco on them.
Hack them to little bits and feed them to some neighbors pigs.

I ain't got a firearm in the LOS. My big crazy shit eating grin smile keeps evil doers away.

If I was residing in the USA, I'd be blowing some heads clean off with my Smith&Wesson model 629.

[VocalNeal]

Have an electric fence which makes it virtually impossible for them to get in without triggering an alarm! Having been nobbled they usually depart. Unless you are a know gold or diamond hoarder.

[Mr Earl]

Blow yur head clean off...


Have a nice day,

[harrybarracuda]

At least you spelled "arse" correctly. Good work.

Now the villains know you have a gun. Do they

(a) Squeal and run away.
(b) Realise it is better that they shoot you first, because you are a threat to them, and fire untold rounds through the bedroom door, killing both you and your wife rather than just fucking off with your laptop and a few hundred baht. And shoot your kids as well because they don't want any witnesses.

[bsnub]

First off let me help everyone to understand. You should never flash a firearm until you reach the point of no return. It is a last resort.

As these threads have shown many birds and some shrives get all worked up over this issue.

Harry clearly owning and handling a firearm is something so alien to you that you really should not trouble your mind over it. Just leave the big guns to the professionally trained manly men who can sort the bad from the good in a heartbeat.
Boom! bye bye bad guy!

[thailazer]

Back in the states two guys trying to get the stereo out of my car didn't realize the car had a radio alarm in it. It woke me up but I was too sleepy to unlock my handgun but I did take my pepper spray which I used when one of the guys ran at me. They didn't get very far until the cops rounded them up. You can buy pepper spray in Thailand at the cop shops.

Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

[baldrick]

Take your gun and let them know you have one?

how do you do that ?

[Pragmatic]

Having been in a position where a man broke in and was in our bedroom whilst we were asleep, I'm in two minds. The gun makes you feel more secure but would you get a chance to use it? In our case the twat must have been an Olympic runner and I'd never have got a chance to use a gun. It's only on the basis that I'd feel more secure in having a gun that I'd have one. In fact we did buy a gun post incident but with the kids growing up my missus didn't want the worry of them playing with it. We now rely on security lights and grills on the windows and doors.

Don't get out of my house I'm gunna blow your feckin' head off with my shot gun.

That'd work.

Ok smart ass.

You have computers on your mind. Get out more! Who is to say they've come for your laptop?

[Mr Earl]

"Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

It ain't a question of "feeling" "lucky" I've been "fucking lucky" all my life.

The signal I'm getting is to be more mindful in all me whatevers..

[jamescollister]

Not a problem for me in the village, I don't have a gun, family do and every hut/house has some sort of firearm.
Depending on status, land money, legal hand gun and 22 rifle, poor, no standing, illegal guns.
Village head and other gov guys issued weapons, commies are coming over the border.
Never lock doors or windows at night, between the dogs, the villagers, who are all related, you have to be really, really stupid to try anything here.

Now if I lived outside the village, different story, as happened earlier this year, staying at the factory, when someone took a shot at me.

Did the wife have an alibi?

The only reason I said that is that I think that's about all you own of any value.

If they speak English, and if you correct your appalling grammar.

[Pragmatic]

Shouldn't that be 'Only if they speak English, and if you correct your appalling grammar'?

Do the job right.
The only hand weapon worth it's weight - 44 Magnum.
