ROFLOL!
It's definitely high crime risk in California.

One of L.A's finest advised me to purchase one, keep it loaded and to keep it within reach at all times in all situations. Good advice when you consider the alternative.
Heard around the Internet:
"Shoot first, ask questions later, answer to a friendly jury of your gun-toting peers even later than that."
"Gun control means using both hands."
"I carry a gun because it’s lighter than a whole cop."
"Best defense is a good offense."
No descriptions?
Yep. But you have to click the linky-dink.
Ya gotta learn to shoot it, too, bd. Sheesh. :)
“A couple in their 60s and their two sons, both in their 20s, reportedly live in the home.”
I sure hope them boys are working or going to college.
One of my and my husband’s favorite movie scenes/lines is from L.A. Story:
Trudi: He said it’s the first day of spring.
Harris: Oh !@#$! Open season on the L.A. freeway!
Trudi: Do bullets go bad?
Harris: No, it’s not like milk. They don’t have expiration date or anything.
[Trudi is loading a gun]
Harris: Don’t point it at me!
Trudi: Sorry, I don’t know gun etiquette.
I would be funnier if it weren’t so true.
Either he has a thing for livestock or he got away.
Oh, LAM! My bad.
That's just news media doublespeak for
"...While we are aware that all the targeted victims thus far have been elderly women, we are obliged to consider the rights of the alleged criminals to attack anyone else they desire in the immediate future.Eagles6 wrote: "The next victim could well be a young, military aged male with a high and tight. "
Until the alleged bad guy/perp(s) are caught, convicted and have the ten year appeal process fulfilled, we must allow the alleged criminals the courtesy of choosing whomever they please as their next victim(s)."
Exactly. /sarcasm
THX
Precisely.
- People who do not know how to properly care for said weapon;
- People who have never implemented said discharge mechanism of said weapon;
- People who lack previous instruction in the ownership, care and use of said weapon; and/or
- People who despite previous instruction, still feel that they would fail to discharge the contents of said weapon's projectiles onto the broadside of a barn,
indeed those people should enroll poste haste into the closest in proximity organization/ membership club which teaches the aforementioned techniques.
As it were, so to speak. ;-)
Who cares?
If, in living at home with their parents they had done nothing at all; their being present for their parents just today, protecting and saving their parents' lives today, I believe would more than make up for years of unproductivity, don't you?
Besides, at the very least, the sons became responsible gun owners. They learned how to aim and discharge their weapons.
If the sons had not been responsible gun owners, the victim count undoubtedly would have been higher and in all likelihood, it would have favored the bad guys.
Lol, yes, it's one of those funny, tragic truths.
BTW......speaking of this subject of home invasions....wasn’t there something in the Riverside area last week? Week before at the most? Did you hear anything?
Yes, I did hear something about that. Thanks for reminding me. The Senior Citizen Mother of a friend of mine from back East lives there and I meant to phone a heads up.
I only caught the tail end of it on the news, so didn’t get the particulars.
