Well spoken Foxy! The people on this forum who keep saying (in public) they have no intention of taking a burglar alive, don't need a gun; they need a psychiatrist.
First for wanting to needlessly taking a life.
Second for then broadcasting it.

There's a guy on another forum I'm a member of who can literally find out ANYTHING about anyone. I've seen him do it on that forum, many times. I don't know what his regular job is, but it's scary what he can find out.


This doesn't surprise me in the least as the USA has little or virtually no data protection Laws except for commercial Intellectual Property rights.

Unless of course you happen to be stopped by Texas LEOs and are a victim of highway robbery togther with threats of intimidation with the power of the goverment state.

Do you hand over the cash and valuables or end up in a Texas prison and having to deal with the consequences of having an arrest record for everyone to freely view online.

There was a guy on another forum the other day who was talking about how he wouldn't share any personal location details with us (we were discussing unemployment in our areas). He was making a big deal out of it, so I Googled his screen name, found another forum he used with the same screen name, discovered his full real name, plugged it into an online whitepages, and had his home address, phone number, and the name of his employer. This all took about 5 minutes of looking. I didn't tell him about this; didn't wanna burst his bubble.
There is a lot of information out there unless you have taken extreme measures to contain it. If you don't want employers to find out about your indiscretions, keep them off the 'net. Or better yet, don't be indiscreet. wink

Yep, in Texas you hand over the cash and valuables, then you go home, get the "Assault rifle" out of the closet, and go hunt yourself a few bad LEOS. Lots of desert in West Texas...

"No Country for Old Men" is a new favorite of mine.
