I know what you mean, mine told me today it was ok to buy that 357 I have been wanting for more than two years. Guess a some of the DGI's are getting a little nervous.

yes...the wife nary objected to my ordering the 37mm under-the-barrel 'flare launcher' the other day.(GOD I love OVERKILL!!!) This from the woman who four years ago vowed at our wedding "...NEVER will a gun be allowed into MY house!!!" FYI she asked for and got a .380 for our anniversery...

I rescue animals and won't risk the dogs by having a gun about the place. I hadn't any feelings of safety. I pictured goons crawling through my windows, but to my total surprise, all those in my life with access to guns are deeply envious of my dogs, as in, "Oh man would I feel safe having those dogs in the place rather than a gun." They reason in terror 7 bullets will miss the goon aping about but the dogs are right on the target.

Billy Boy--My husband is envious, he said he wouldn't mind having a .380, I told him we have enough guns, however, his birthday is coming up.....

Dogs did not save the Korean Stores in the LA riots.

bardou...Yeah!!! Hook up the man of your life (it might save yours !!!lol)

Paula...Got me a big Rottie/Dane mix that I saved from a dumpster as a pup. (some people SHOULD die!) He's 114 lbs, and the biggest love-loaf you've ever seen. Never even growled at someone...That was until someone broke into the house...We were not home. The police estimated that there was about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pint of O positive splashed ALL over the walls, floor, his muzzle... Police took a bite sample to attempt to get a match when the poor stupid fool showed at a hospital...They also got -a lot- of fibres from around my pootches teeth and gumline to match as evidence...needless to say the dude was bagged...In court he and his lawyer tried to play mah dawg as some crazed killer cujo mutt. The judge took one look at Bomber (his name) snoring on the floor of the courtroom as my 14 month old son pulled,bit tugged and crawled all over him and promply fried the dude. Case closed. Dog is mans best freind, but don't necessarily say no to a gun...

Billy Boy--Great story! I have a dog too, she's part Jack Russell and part Corgy. Friday, I was in the shower and she started barking her head off. I got out of the shower and came into the front room. The door handle was jiggling back and forth and she kept at the door barking and growling! I didn't say anything I just stood there wondering if I should grab the gun. The handle stopped jiggling and I glanced out the front window and saw that it was a neighbor from down the road! I am thankful we have the dog, thankful we have guns, and now I know that my neighbor down the road wouldn't hesitate to come into my house! Keep your doors lock, your guns loaded, and a pig ear for your dog.

Paula, if you return to this thread---a new topic was started about a post you made on an old thread regarding government monitoring of internet forums. Your post generated quite a bit of discussion! In case you have missed it, here's the link:

Hope you'll stop by and comment.

...And then there was this Farside cartoon where the homeowner gets the drop on a burglar with a rifle-only instead of bullets, it "fires" a quivering, snarling Doberman...

I like your dog already. And I've never even seen him.

And then there is my 79 year old neighbor who shot his wife in the head and killed her because he thought she was a burglar.

You sure it was 'unintentional'? sounds suspicious

-- Billy-Boy (Rakkasn@Yahoo.com), October 09, 1999.


Billy-Boy,

The perp and his attorney had the balls to try to blame you for your dog attacking an intruder?

:::sigh:::

Just another example of what is wrong with society.

Glad the judge saw differently.

-- Wilferd (WilferdW@aol.com), October 09, 1999.



hell...I hadda get the judge to throw an injuction to prevent the greasebag from sueing me...(he did)

Guys,

You may be interested in the article out of Cinncinati. The judge threw out a gun lawsuit. Sorry can't do a link, but here's the address: http://enquirer.com/editions/1999/10/08/loc_state_leaders_start.html (This is an article about y2k and preparing. The one about the guns is linked at the bottom of the page.)

There was a guy I meet in Chicago who left his car window open about 3 inches, so his dog (a big rot) could get some air. He locked all the doors and ran into a store for about 20 minutes. When he came back out there was a police car and ambulance near his car. The cop asked if this was his car, he said yes. Seems some would be car radio theif stuck his arm in the passenger side front window to try and reach the door handle inside the car. He did not see the rotwiller sleeping in the back of the car. The result was not pretty. He eventually got what was left of his arm out of the car. A small crowd had gathered due to his screaming bloody murder. They called the police and the police called the ambulance. After several hundred stiches and a couple of surgeries, you guessed it the would be theif tried to sue the guy. The judge threw it out before he ever had to go to court, but we do live in a "sue happy" world.

I had to go and sneak and buy some silver rounds when the hubby wasn't looking so I could feel better in case cash loses its value and silver goes up. What, you think it's just you men that have to work around the wives? Humm...And while you were out buying your guns, the wives were out buying what they wanted LOL!

-- Debi (LongTimeLurker@shy.com), October 09, 1999.

NOT EXACTLY, dear. MY wife was RIGHT NEXT to me when I picked up my virtually brand new (there isn't even any wear on the slide) Rem 870 mag Express today.

Yep, when the wife sent to the store with orders for a gallon of milk, loaf of bread, package of cookies, 200 rounds of Federal Premium, 165 grain boat-tail 30-06, and a box of .38 specials, I knew she was taking it seriously.

My wife and I agree,we's gots enough defence guns,need more blankets!!

I'm the wife, DH is the former Army man, and I am the one who went to the gun shop a year ago and plunked down the bucks for a Bersa Thunder .380 (mine) and an 18" Remington (his). Tons of ammo. The whole deal. Took an intro to guns course the next week, had never even shot a BB gun before and the instructor ended up saying he'd never seen a woman who was such a natural with a gun. He had me try every handgun they had on the indoor range. Knocked the paper out of the center 3" diameter of the target at 15 yards. I *did* win a lot of archery trophies as a kid and teenager. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I felt a whole lot better after that. So did the hubby! ;-) (I got your back, hon!)

Why is someone always bringing up the Korean stores during the South Central Riots?! I've already written about this in good detail, so I'm not going to repeat myself. I'll just emphasize this: Don't bet your life or the lives of your loved ones on cheap cliches.
