Just heard on the 5 o'clock news that a gun collection was stolen right here in town... :shock:
Security here at the house is tight and patrolled (by myself) with 'superior firepower'.
Don't know yet who the victim is and may never know due to privacy and security reasons.

The gun thief is probably the same person who stole two M-16's from a SWAT vehicle in the same town.

Dean: Just be sure that they are all the way inside the door or window before you send them into the next life.

Could be all the same story. I haven't heard any other news about a "collection".

My wife, Sylvia, feels a 1911 Colt is unladylike. Thus, she, in a true Parkerly way, calls upon her 12 gauge Parker Trojan when persons of unknown character are in the neighborhood. This has been true since an elderly couple (antique dealers) were killed by a crackhead 4 miles from our farm, 20 years ago. I, on the other hand, do have a 1911A1, parked in my nite stand. The sad thing is, home invasions are beginning to become somewhat common here in upstate NY.

I remember a similar statistic on the rise of "hot" burglaries in a report from England,
when the concern of the resident being armed diminishes, it is easier to hold the homeowner hostage and make them tell you where the valuables are rather than search for them.
BTW - there are some good quotes on here

the ones from the founding fathers are educational
many of the other are also entertaining

awards dinner when a lady commented
on his wearing his sidearm. “Sheriff, I
see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?”
“NO Ma’am. If I were expecting trouble,
I would have brought my rifle.”

that is good news, their use in crime would have been made an issue for honest owners in the media.

You have that right.
No surprise though that they had gone to Lawrence. A lot of crime and corruption emanates from that little city. On election day Nov. 6, ballots collected had to be placed under armed guard because of the corrupt government of Mayor Willie Lantigua and the highly contested elections where he won by 64 votes in the previous election. How do these reprobates continue to win government offices... apathy on the part of the opposition, that's how... and corrupt poll reporting.

IMHO the rise of crime and viloence will only worsen in time. The have not lazy low life will want what you have and the only way for them to get it is to take it by force. They will meet strong resistance here.
I have begun to take my Kimber with me more and more often. A wise man once said "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it".

Sometimes it's more about who counts the votes, than who they're cast for.
