the criminals have more rights than the victims in this state. perhaps one day, it'll change if we stick together and push for change. but for now, it's the sad truth.

+1 Shane, I've stated my opinion about your posts in public & private - so I won't be redundant. I'd never say anything like that on a public forum. I would refrain from shooting unless my life or the life of loved ones was in imminent danger or if the intruder refused to leave after being commended to do so. and then, there's always Mr. Baseball Bat - so not always a need to shoot.

no, maybe i'm special, because others seem to have that option. I posted the problem on Maks' "problems with new software" theread

Jon, excellent walk-through, BUT between the "show X last visitors" and "birthday info" I got NOTHING... maybe it's just me...

I like the green one, under the "emotty" logo. but how do we get them so we can use them in posts?

it could be both, but it only has to be one

but he already is a Zombie... mmmm... I was just thinking... can we have a "Zombie Smiley" for posts? there's a ninja one...

I liked the "!!!" a the end and that it's in BOLD letters they know you'll be happy!!!

I don't see "Member Title" anywhere. I'm all "premium member" and stuff, but I still don't see it...

good thoughts. we wouldn't want the feds closing in on us for "threatening the president" yah, I guess Osama Zombie would have to do. any idea which ranges would allow target with human shapes if any of us were to get those Zombie targets?

are you kiddin' me Nick? you just went on a shopping spree, buddy just pullin' your leg. you probably planned and saved for your new purchases while waiting for that FID & P2P

yah, I know you were. it's cool, because for you, it IS a good idea. hit the nail right on the head on that one. so unless they know you got millions in the vault, doubtful anyone would take much time to scout your house and learn your patterns, it certainly wasn't what happened in this story. they saw the mom & girls at the supermarket and followed them home.

I thought you had to say something like "Go away!!! I have a gun!!! if you come in, I will shoot!!!" (note: not "I will kill you" or "I'll blow your head off")

honestly Joe, and Glenn will tell you - most Russians (at least those that live in the US) don't drink vodka anymore... and I haven't had a sip of alcohol in weeks. just sleep deprivation thanks, Nick. I was getting worried there...

the key phrase here. you can't say "I shot to kill him" or anything like that. you shoot to "stop the threat" and whether that takes 5 rounds or 25 and if he's limping or dead on the ground, that's your call what "stop the threat" is. so you don't have to wait to be injured, but you also can't shoot as soon as someone breaks in. that's just my understanding.

hmmm, back to zero now. maybe lack of sleep - hallucinations.

depends: if you have kids that regularly sneak into your bed, it's a very bad idea. if you live on your own (or just with adults) and don't have minors visiting, it may work fine.

good enough. perhaps like Wojo said, a NRA sticker and "Beware of the Dog" sign are much better deterrents than an ADT sticker.. or any other alarm company for that matter.

gotcha. thanks for schoolin' me, Jon.

I have to plan and save as my firearms purchases are few and funds are limited. I know what I'm going to purchase next and if I see something else, even if it's a good deal, I doubt that I'd go for it. BUT if I all of a sudden got a hold of tons of $$$, maaaaaan, it'd be a shopping spree...

and that I could use in a... forgive my ignorance... whatever you call a non-rifled 18.5" bbl?

I don't see it and WHOA! how'd I get this : "Reputation: -1" WTF? what did I do to piss someone off?

hahahahaha thanks, Nick.... since I can't think of anything else right now, it'll do...

reminds me of that story line from "Band Of Brothers" where one of the guys kept trying to get a Luger. Nice gun, interesting choice for your first, but to each his own! as long as you're happy with it, who cares what we think... congratulations!

yah, I wasn't really thinking about slugs for HD really... more for our favorite (albeit virtual) hunting sport - ZOMBIES!!! just more options to have, you know...
