Armed House Sitting?

Featured Replies

So, a friend of my girlfriend and I will be home alone for the rest of the week (parents are going away on vacation). She's a little scared to be home alone and asked if we could come and stay with her and "bring some heat". Can I? Long gun only of course and no HP ammo...

 

She's not in the best part of town and has had some disturbing phone calls and things like that in the past.

Live with parents just like she does... and unfortunatly mine are not very friendly :(

Home invasions are rare unless you are targeted. If a thief can obviously see someone is home from the TV or lights or movement, it's unlikely anyone will break in.

I agree, however it would very much make her feel better. She's not a very big girl and basically helpless. If someone knew it was her by herself then I say the chances go up even if only slightly

That sounds like the opening narration of a porno..

 

sorry.. I had too..

You may bring a long gun as long as you have your FPID.

Slasher porno.

You'll get plenty of opinions , and this is just my own. There are specifics about transporting your long guns in NJ , obviously not as restricted as handguns , you just have to make sure it is unloaded and being transported according to the specifications ( it covered in the NJ gun law sticky) . But I do not recall seeing anything about USING a long gun wherever you want. You are allowed to use deadly force in your home or in your owned place of business. Says nothing anywhere about using deadly force with your gun ( regardless of type)when you are visiting in a person's home. So basically , you are not covered legally by any exceptions..which..again in my opinion ..you will have a very aggressive legal tiger by the tail if you discharge your long gun in a friend's residence even if in self defense.

 

Personally...PAAASSS . Were it me I would go stay over to give her the company and peace of mind without bringing any "heat" .

 

Going forward though I would give this friend the advice that she should at the very least take self defense classes..maybe apply for her own firearms and take lessons on how to use them to defend herself in her home.

She's scared to death of guns at this point, even told me carrying while with her on south street in philly was "scary". I'm working on changing her opinion but can only do what I can.

 

As far as the legalities of using it...well rather be on trial then dead. If I can't get in trouble for bringing it using it isn't concerning me.

If you use a firearm to protect the occupant of the house, I don't see how they could prosecute you for that if it is an otherwise clean shoot.

I wouldn't hesitate to bring a shotgun over with some 00 buck. Like noted, just make sure you have your FPID to be in accordance with transportation laws.

Just go over and tell her you don't need guns. Party with the two chicks and see what happens. One never knows what may transpire with a few open minds. Good luck.

You wear out the rewind button on your remote , that is what happens lol

Ok wait..so you...and your gf's friend...are gonna be alone...for the week...and she needs protection?

 

What are you doing? Bring over your own 'long gun' and protect her with that thing.

 

At least that's what I'd do.

 

(sorry, had to).

You could put an eye out with something like that...

Johnny is a loyal wingman but remember most women do like the strong alcohol. They like the mixed drinks. Wine coolers anyone?

Wine coolers?!?!? Have you been off the market for a while or something?? :)

 

Flavored Vodka. Stoli Raspberry or something. That is what the kids are into these days.

 

Ok , I'm off this thread before I get in trouble lol

Yes I have been. Man I guess it's that obvious. Good thing I don't have to worry about picking up women anymore. My game is gone.

Hmmmmmm I would just bring a baseball bat, a bottle if tequilla, and order enough food so you guys have enough fuel to keep going.

bring a long gun... if you genuinely need to use it.. what happens to you post using it wont matter much as it is better than dead... if you don't need to use it.. you will never have a problem.. so it is essentially win win... on another note.. I would not be in an area where I believe I may potentially need to defend my life.. and get completely friggin trashed at the same time.. that is a very simple way to turn a clean shoot into a very questionable shoot..

Agreed..that's why in my first post I said leave the gun at home and party. Edged and blunt weapons can work very well and are very legal inside a home.
