"
The guy saw us coming and started screaming at us to call off the dogs. I yelled back "They won't listen, they aren't trained." The look of terror on his face was priceless as he desperately scrambled over the fence."

Would've made a great video !! LOL


some years ago a man who wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, tried to break into our back door. Granted, I was lucky he didn't have a gun pointed at me, but I surprised him with my trusty K-Bar combat/utility. He dropped the steel rod in his hand, jumped back, screamed and ran like a rabbit. I really thought it was a racoon at the back door.

and there is no question that home invasions have increased. I live in a relatively low crime community and for some reason violent crime has had a marked increase in just the last few months with several shootings, one murder/rape, several home invasions and increased numbers of armed robberies. I am very glad to have the castle laws.

Security at my house has been stepped up.

And in fond rememberance of a neighbor who passed away some years ago: he was a Vietnam vet with a Purple Heart. He looked like a mountain man and sometimes scared people without intending to. He really was a good neighbor.

At the time, someone robbed a Salvation Army donation kettle in front of a store. Our Vietnam vet had volunteered to man one of these kettles. A TV news reporter had a camera on him to discuss the recent robbery incident. With a stern face, he said "I got one thing to say to you Punks. If you want to rob my kettle....just try it!"

That's a take.
