Locked and Loaded
 

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.

:draw: We don't dial 911.

WOW!!!!!!! I wonder what a hot M-16 brings on the black market?

1911 911

coincidence ???? :whistle:

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

Someone beat me to it but I also just dial 1911 ..... !

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

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

7. The old sheriff was attending an
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.”
