That just BITES!!! I’m so sorry to hear that!.. But at least everyone in the family is OK..

P.S.
That’s why I have three dogs, Timer @ 180 lbs, frosty @ 110 lbs and angel @ 90 lbs or 300 lbs worth of dogs.. I pity the fool who enters my house uninvited!..

So are you telling us that they took cash out of your open safe, but left the gun? Or have they now got the gun in hand?? I personally do not like having guns in my home, but I do have three mini aluminum baseball bats scattered about the house just in case there is an intruder.

While we were in Brussels last year I was sitting in the living room one afternoon eating a late lunch about 3PM, and I heard a loud noise that got my attention. Low and behold there was some very large gentleman(230lbs) with an 18" screwdriver trying to pry our front door open. Luckily for us the US Embassy had previously installed triple deadbolt solid steel doors, mounted in a steel frame. I simply called the Marine gaurd at the Embassy and while watching him through the peephole began asking the man what he hope to achieve using the screwdriver, and informed him that if he did manage to get through the steel door that there was a nice surprize awaiting him. The guy nearly fell over not realizing that I was home upon starting on his quest, and bashed himself up pretty good trying to get down 6flights of stairs as quickly as he could, because the police were on their way up in the elevator. SO he ran directly into the local police and was arrested.

We always hope that nohting bad will happen to us, but the reality is that any of us can experience misfortune and we need to prepair for these dangers in order to protect our property and our lives.

Personally I don’t believe in guns in homes with kids!.. I grew up with them but that's just one of the adjustments I did with my family.. No guns at least not real one's

But my kids love shooting these every weekend..

ya it was just a little 22 cal but still. would do some damage. they took the cash and the gun .

thats kind of a funny story jerry. even though it may have been a little creepy at the time looking back im sure it makes you laugh at how stupid he was

you have a very nice collection of guns shaun.

i think one of the best weapons would be a paintball gun.
imagine this..

an intruder walks into your house... you hear him and gear up your paintball gun... sneak up on the crook and start shooting the crap out of him. noone is tough enough to just suck up the pain of the gun and even try to shoot back. by the time you have run out of paint he will be on the ground wishing he never would have entered the house. thats when you make your move and start ground pounding the dumass!! eventually the cops will come and see him all colored up and bruised.

Not only that but if he does manage to get free and escapes into the night, it will be kind of hard for him to get far without someone seeing him and calling the cops to report a weirdo prowler, or a cop spotting him and just asking him where is going looking like the dumbass that you described. Funny stuff for sure. That day when the guy tried to pry our front door open I was so worked up with adreneline it took like 6 hours for me to fully calm down. I was ready to smash the guys head in with one of our bats.

Hey, I think I linked you up with monoprice.com before for your HDMI cables, but thought I'd throw that out there for ya....save you A LOT over those overpriced Monster cables.

bluejeanscable also has some great prices on HDMI...the nice thing about digital is you either get the signal or you dont, buying a so called higher grade has no effect

I like my slingshot.....

Always be careful with weapons. They can very easily be used against you.

Not if it's strapped to my arm!
