If you aren’t prepared to use a gun to kill the intruder, better be careful, the intruder may be ready to kill the home owner with his own gun.

Were you swinging it or threatening a Bass Solo?

My driver has a 46 inch shaft. It’ll reach out and touch farther than a baseball bat. However, my 45 will reach out farther than both.

Duh

[Purdue77]

No. The other 2 are liberals who only use their guns for “hunting”.

Swinging, from the neck. Like a battleaxe. LOL! (that will leave a mark!)

Although my solos are quite lethal as well.

[KC Burke]

My son is a base player.

Yes, People who own very expensive paperweights.

I sincerely doubt the headline is accurate. They may talk a big game but actually pulling the trigger is very difficult for most humans.

The best gunfight is the one you don’t have.

Those other 2 out of 10 might want to turn in their man cards.

Think he would have been better served to us the 3-wood...Then it could have been a head shot...

You double my dog concentration, but just about equal my gun concentration. One question is what kind of dogs. My smaller dog is 90 lb.,half American Staffordshire terrier, quarter Lab, eighth golden, an an eighth Cocker. Larger is a 129 lb. Great Dane. My problem is their attitude. In the last week and a half the maid service came by — no barks woof, or growls and the UPS man came by — same thing. Help, they’re my “trained guard/atack” dogs.

Aha! So my experience with the bass as a defensive weapon resonates! :-)

[left that other site]

And Rightly so.

I am curious though how an “Alarm System” kills someone.

I wondered that too. I also noticed that they left out "call police." After all, when I call the cops on an intruder I can tell them any number of exaggerations that the intruder's corpse won't be able to deny after the fact. ;-)

[Kickass Conservative]

Bond, James Bond.

License to kill.

[TigersEye]

Those other 2 out of 10 might want to turn in their man cards.

Especially if they are women.

I have two golden doodles who will bark at a leaf that falls or when a rabbit crosses the yard. This of course then sets of the yellow lab and the Australian cattle dog pound rescue.

So I have the opposite problem - my crew barks at everything. A week ago my golden doodle was raising all kinds of fuss ... because the blow up Halloween skeleton was bobbing and weaving with the heavy wind and he was obviously a threat to the whole world and the very essence of evil.

I suppose a security camera could kill someone if you threw it hard enough at their head. ;d

Knives anyone?
