1st) My Gold Cup holds 8.
2nd) How many of those 7 kids are going to stick around after 3 shotgun blasts, to see whether you've removed the plug or not?

[1rudeboy]

M-240 here. I'd show 'em.

[freeangel]

I'm assuming the "four others" were juveniles. It's amazing that this thread has gotten this far with someone not asking about parental control. 'Just goes to show that few people on this forum actually expect parental supervision from parents in the general public anymore.

[freedomlover]

My Saiga 12 ga with the 8 cap mag would qualify

[BJClinton]

Wow. I was proud of my SKS w/ the 50 round drum and a glock 22c with 2 15 rnd clips. You need help dude. :-)

[Farmer Dean]

Damn,I guess you would!

[Farmer Dean]

I'll be polite to the neighbors and mount the supperror on the MP-5,no need to disturb their sleep.

[chief_bigfoot]

Parental control? The story states up front that they were all from upper middle clas homes. IOW, the parents were probably too busy at the office, golf course, whatever, to be bothered by the 'kids'. "Here's some money, go entertain yourself at the mall" only goes so far before the 'kids' get bored. Parental control is about as contemporary as an 8-track player anymore.

[BJClinton]

I've never fired one with a suppressor, it's quiet enough as it is. Make sure it's on semi or you'll wreck the drywall.

6 in mine but I'd chase the last one down and beat him to death with the pistol butt.

[stevio]

It makes you think doesn't it? Actually, I wouldn't be prepared. Although my Mossberg 500 holds 9 in the tube and 4 in the speed stock, I don't keep it out because of our young kids.

[BunnySlippers]

Just like those two kids in Vermont who killed the college proffesors from Germany. Doing it to see what it felt like.

[Fruitbat]

Woe if it were my son!

Then again, my son wouldn't do that.

Great parenting!!

[Fruitbat]

Although I'm a big fan of high-capacity magazines, these sound like spoiled suburban mallrats and after you blow down the first two I'm guessing that the rest would be running as fast as their $250. sneakers could carry them.

LMAO...

I'd wager you'd need a case of Bounty paper towels the second the gun made an appearance. Then it would look like one of the old LA Laker fast breaks!

[1rudeboy]

I also have a M52 105mm Self-Propelled Howitzer parked up on the ridge. Got it cheap on surplus. I won't call in indirect fire support on my own position unless I absolutely have to, though.

[pageonetoo]

...some of these teens probably got the idea from watching the drug cops day after day that break into private homes for the exact same reasons these kids did.

I know a number of LEO's. They love the rush, as much as any other junkie. My eldest son did SWAT for a while, and told some inelegant stories about his buddies. Now he is a SGT for a town force. Of course, they get a badge and a "get out of jail free" card (or license plates)...

[BJClinton]

Ha ha! How much does each round cost? Playing w/ an M60 I can blow through $100 a minute.

[absolootezer0]

got my 870 with 5 by the door, my sig with 9 and two spare mags with 9 each under the bed, and my AR with 30, and 2 spare 30s under the bed.
that should cover it.

[RogueIsland]

ok, how many folks' preferred home defense weapon has 7 or more rounds loaded right now?

7 rounds with spare mag for the primary handgun (or 10 and 10 if I have the HK out that day), 12 guage shotgun with extended mag tube as backup in the bedroom (handgun is easier to keep nearby wherever you are in the house). If THAT isn't enough, hopefully they've slowed down enough that I could slap in the loaded twenty rounder into the AR.

Probably wouldn't be much left of the house at the end of the day.

[i.l.e.]

Concealed carry isntructors adamantly recommend to shoot to kill the kids trying to crawl through the window or enter the door. Then drag them into the house. One opinion is better than two.
