Lock Your Doors And Prepare To Defend Your Family

Conservatives would do well to leave the liberal enclaves of major cities before SHTF. Let the unarmed libs get what they deserve for voting for decades because of white guilt and wanting to take the path of least resistance while appearing to be morally superior to everyone else.

Won’t help you when Holder’s people get their entitlements cut and decide your place is gonna be their place.

I refuse to be a victim. If a thug or group of thugs attempts to make one of me, I'll go down swinging and clawing and cussing.

I'm mad as hell and its about time the law-abiding folks in this country send a warning -- enter my home, threaten my family, accost me with evil intent, then you WILL get a cap busted on your sorry ass and you WILL regret messing with me.

While I don't underrate the crime problem, this is another California public employee union con-job. There are plenty of budgets that could be slashed to help take up the shortfall before police protection. Lush public employee retirements and benefits -- including those of police -- would be a good place to start.

This has become a disgusting method of blackmailing voters into approving tax increases. Budget short fall? First things cut are services essential to taxpayers, not the highly-paid boards, commissions, advisory councils etc. that politicians use to reward their friends and supporters.

I saw that and took Mister Costas of the non-creep list.

From Drudge, " Jovan Belcher was allegedly battling football-related head injuries and booze, painkiller..." issues, and Mister Costas blames the firearm.

The solution?

I would require weekly drug screening for all NFL players, coaches, and refs (and Costas).

(Sorry for taking the thread in a different direction, btw.)

If a thug or group of thugs attempts to make one of me, I'll go down swinging and clawing and cussing.

Exactly. If I'm killed with my own gun it'll be because my Ka-Bar was out of reach and I was beaten to death by one of their survivors with my empty Glock. But if I've got bullets and/or my Ka-Bar, I will do whatever it takes to win. Whatever it takes.

First...we need solid Right to Self Defense Laws (RSD) that are more protective for crime victims than Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine Laws

When I see what is happening to George Zimmerman here where I live....with the Black Ku Klux Klan basically lynching him because he had to cap a violent black person beating on him...I am now a little nervous to exercise self-defense. If you are white and cap a minority....the Racist Groups are coming after you

And, RSD Laws are really needed in majority non-white cities

It appears we have arrived at the time we are not safe anywhere, unless we make it safe for ourselves.

As long as there is power, my small group of townhomes is behind a locked gate. Sure, someone could climb over the wall surrounding the place, but they won't be driving in and there are houses everywhere around that are easy pickings compared to this place.

I have security warnings that will alet me if someone has touched my window or door and the door can't be kicked open. Of course, I have fatal deterrents should my door be breached.

The thing is, in all my long life this has never happened and now we are rapidly collapsing economically and that sets up criminals to try to get what someone else has. I think we are past the time when it was coming as it is now here.

There is no guessing anymore as to when it would happen. Everyone should have a gun and know how to shoot it and stock water and food.

I agree. Here is a conundrum for gun-owners who are either military retirees or civilian employees on military bases: They can carry all day long... until they go on base.

Not sure why the price for entering a military base should be forfeiting one’s Second Amendment rights.

Even if the base is safe, what about the (unarmed) ride home?

There is something better than locking doors and staying inside.

Create neighborhoods with only one way in and out. Post signs at the entrance advising any who enter that the neighbors are armed and ready to take care of business. Then make very dramatic examples of the first two lawbreakers who try anything.

[peeps36]

I always lock my doors and keep my gun loaded and ready. There has been a big increase in armed robberies around here. Banks are being robbed everyday. We just had a bank hit twice in the same week. I live in a small town outside of a small city with 70k residents. Most of the crime comes from hoodlums in the city but not all of it. The days of leaving the doors unlocked are gone in this country.

I met some young guys friday at a yard sale....they're in the Coast Guard, medical types of some kind. They are almost in a panic about their sudden realization about the threat and how unpreppared they are and that they should be prepping.
Initially they were trying to convince me (and my buddy) to do so also because there was a real threat. Finally, we revealed to them that we were preppers and set them right on a few things they were about to do wrong, etc.

One of the guys was going to contact me on FR but I don't expect to hear from him.
I'm encouraged though to see clean-cut, smart, young guys like them 'coming around.'

“Create neighborhoods with only one way in and out. Post signs at the entrance...”

That part my townhouses have, only one way in and out. Signs are at the entrance saying no salesmen are admitted, etc.. We can always add, “You’re dead if you enter and don’t live here”

[Lancey Howard]

Costas is a metrosexual buffoon.
I still say he was making googly eyes at Jerry Sandusky when he interviewed him.

Good for them and for you to help them.

[Charles Martel]

Yup, the thieves follow the trucks. If no one picks up the package right away (drivers won’t wait for you), they take it.

Our local cops actually started shadowing the delivery trucks in unmarked vehicles. They've made several arrests already this year. Nice to see them doing something besides radar speed traps.

[Figment]

Sounds like a plan

[Figment]

I wouldn’t be telling folks about it though

[TexasTransplant]

Dear Law Enforcement Officers aka Revenue Enhancement Agents

I quit counting on you folks many years ago...

When TSHTF LE will need me Far More than I need them

(I just want their toys, they have really cool toys, I’m jealous)
