first off, not an idiot, LOL, but I had an incident over the summer happen to me. Earlier that day, I spent about 7-8 hours driving total, and was dead tired when I got home. I went to bed about 11pm, and had to get up at 7am for work. I have a pager alarm, and keep it next to my bed every night. At 3am that morning, my alarm starts going off, and the pager is beeping and vibrating like crazy. I am dead tired, and can barley close my eyes. I try turning the alarm off, cause I want to go back to bed, but can't. So I pick it up, run to the window facing the street with the remote in hand. I try looking out the window, all squinty eyed, but don't remember anything. I turn the alarm off. My mom comes running into the room, and looks out the window. I run back to my room, get some shoes on, grab a flashlight, and head outside. My brother joins me, and we look over the car. Looks fine, no damage. Some neighbors woke up too, cause the alarm is pretty loud.

My mom said she saw a dark colored SUV drive off when I went to the window, and turned the lights on. I am dead tired, and head back to bed. Wake up the next morning, and it seems like one big dream. Check the car, and they apparently pulled two wires off me strobe lights mounted on the front bumper lights out. The wires are pulled out from under the car, and are coming out from under the bumper. They stripped a little off both wires. Not sure what they were trying to do, I'm thinking dumb enought to think those were alarm wires. Anyway, they somehow set the alarm off, which woke me up. Also have an autolock on the car, so that was defense #2. After that incident, I bumped up the security on my car a little bit more. I always try to keep a watchful eye on it.

Well thats my story, but I want to get a gun when I become of age, because its times like that that I want a gun.

 

including you, right?

 

in florida, or atleast in Okaloosa county, if some one is on your property, who shouldn't be there, you can shoot them in the leg to immobilize them, so you can call the police... if they are in your home, you can kill them on the spot, call the police and ask them to come remove the body. Although, you get questioned a lot, but if some one is in your home trying to rob/kill/rape you/your family, i suppose the robber had no leg to stand on :chuckles:

 

:doh:

 

This is why I am gonna get a good paintball gun. Yeah, it doesnt kill, but getting a few of them shot to the side of your face might make you think twice. THen lose a few rounds on the side of their getaway car... call the cops, and it shouldnt be too hard to spot them.

 

i agree with qtiger

if you go outside of your home onto the street to shoot someoen for stealing your stuff, you're going to jail for attempted murder.

only if someone is inside of your HOME and you are afraid for your life can you use deadly force [unless you're in texas or the likes]

next time, grab your cell when you go outside, follow htem and call the cops while you're following them.

 

Get a shotgun. Then, load your own shells...but instead of using pellets, fill it with Rock Salt. It will penetrate the skin and hurt like a BITCH, but won't kill the person.

 

straight from the horses mouf :eek3:

 

You are a wanted man in the Basement homey. Shouldn't scam people maybe it wouldn't happen to you.

 

what's this about?
