>>Dont think that you are safe because you live in NY or Mass <<

And sad irony - People in those states aren't allowed to be armed. MS 13 must be LOVING that!

The people need to take public gun training classes, get CCWs and actually carry their guns at all times.

Dogs and geese are excellent ideas, but keeping the guns close by is an essential element.

I don't even live there, but at night I slip my tactical light onto the rails of my Glock 17. Anyone who keeps a gun for possible late night goblins should keep a good quality flashlight with it.

Preferrably a Streamlight or Surefire.

[SandRat]

That was the "BLUE Sprinkle Taxins."

[VeniVidiVici]

You will be amazed at the number of burglars that will not bother with a place that has a dog or two.

This is a good idea, unless you need the target practice.

[Eaker]

Doesn't a flash light mounted on your gun make you a really good target?

That is where I would aim if I was a goblin.

I prefer subtle lighting and awareness of your surroundings.

[american spirit]

Can you post a link to some of his articles? I'd be very interested in reading some of his work.

[Armedanddangerous]

You don't just turn the light on and leave it on. Most rail mounted tactical lights, mine included, have a pressure switch.

You press the switch and light up potential targets. Let off the switch, the light goes off.

Very neat setup. I scared the hell out of a black bear the other night ripping through my garbage. I stuck the Glock out the window, pressed the switch and ole boo boo must have heard his momma callin, because he lit out for the high country.

[Mamzelle]

Is this Lloyd Doggett's contituency?

[Eaker]

Add temporary night blindness to the goblin's mounting problems.

Do you shield your eyes a bit?

Good answer, btw!

[Armedanddangerous]

Don't need to shield my eyes...At least I haven't yet.

[SwinneySwitch]

It's spelled Dog Get! He would be, except I adopted Katherine Harris as my congressperson.

[Bombardier]

Works for me!

[lqcincinnatus]

Great news coverage. Right on top of me and not a word about it. Did see an Arab come through Encinal looking for IH35 right before 911. Exchange students I guess. We have poll watchers down here. Can not wait for the border watchers.

[Humidston]

Ironic... I was just researching him on the net about two weeks ago.

I wish I could, but I can't give out his name because he's a typical LEO type and wouldn't want me to. I have to respect his anonymity on a public discussion forum.

At any rate, I can tell you he is adamant that teen crime is much more violent than adult crime ever was. And it's going to get a LOT worse before it gets better because the public is way too lenient.

[Misterioso]

Those illegals are only here to do the crimes that Americans won't.

That's a classic! Goes onto my list right now!

[ExcelJockey]

Thank God for crazy f***ers like you and some previous posters. That quintessentially American spirit has kept me from completely giving up hope in our Republic. (No sarcasm - I'm totally serious)

[Veto!]

Big dogs and more than two are quite a good deterrent to crime.

[AZ_Cowboy]

Yeah, I was going to say that as well. I would add that as soon as you fire the first shot, the flash usually gives you away anyhow. As I learned it, two shots and you've got to move.

I suppose the optimal thing would really be night vision, but that isn't easy to come by and you will need the man upstairs for a lawyer to get you off the hook in court.

"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans." --Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985

[Eaker]

Some punch drunk idiot tried to defend them previously.

Maybe they will show up.
