Random doorbell ringing at 1 in the morning

If you flashed a gun at someone, or killed an intruder, would you be afraid of retaliation? I know I would be.

 

I'm too liberal, lonely and depressed to own a gun, but this seems like a good argument for keeping several and teaching everyone in the house to use them.

 

Maybe they were looking for directions to the nearest Red Lobster...

 

lol

where do you guys live? Columbia?

 

theres only been two instances of robbery or attempted robbery of a place i lived in. both times were by white people. on the otther hand ive been mugged like 5 or 6 times and always by black people. ebony and ivory...robbing asian people...in harmonnnnnny

 

Same here. We got 2 German Shepherds. One is 100 lbs and other is 120.
Nobody dares to enter....most of my wives family is scared too so they never come over as well :grin:

Any dog would be easily neutralized by a gun or even food in many cases. False sense of security.

 

Damn, man, that sucks. I try not to suspect the worst in people, but this is too much.


Put up the signs.


I don't know if you believe in guns, but I keep one loaded on the nightstand at all times (only at night) and one on the main level.

Take care of yourself.

 

I would assume it would make the burglar think twice about breaking in if he heard what sounded like 2 mean dogs inside the house. Why risk breaking into a house that has dogs trained to attack strangers thus alerting owners or neighbors if the burglars does in fact pull a gun and shoot.

 

Why not have good insurance?

 

what you should do is, hang some paint cans that you can swing at the front door in case they try to break in. put a bunch of feathers in front of a big fan, and rig the switch on the fan, to a string. when they walk and trip the string, the feathers will be blown into the burglar's face. oh yeah and you gotta find a way to get glue on him first, so he sorta looks like he's dressed as a chicken.

get some micromachines and put them all over the floor, so the burglar's slip on them. find a way to heat up your doorknobs and put tar on your staircase in the basement.

 

My cousin said somebody rang her doorbell multiple times last night at about 1 in the morning. She never answered, though.

 

Didn't know so many clutchfans lived in the hood.

 

Fixed.
