well did you???

Yes, I had to chase someone off of my M3 with a gun. He was trying to use a slim jim to open the door and set off my paging alarm system. I went out and confronted the guy who turned the slim jim around like it was a knife and swung it at me. I brandished my gun at him and he ran away. Good choice on his part.

.........a slim jim? haha I never really had anyone try and break in. Someone did steal our old buick, but that was a long time ago and that car had tape for windows...ghetto.

I caught a guy tring to break into my old integra with a coat hanger and I just asked him if he lost his keys. He tried BSing and said that he must of left them in the back seat. So I kind of told him in a mocking way "hmm... I bet it would be a lot easier with these" as I showed him my keys. He was like a deer in the headlights. I socked him in the gut and called the cops. well the guy got sent to jail and still had to pay to fix my door. The creep tried to tell the cops that I beat him up but after looking at the door they told me I should of kicked his head in.

Good stuff. Crimanals are shi*

I feel sorry for anyone i ever catch trying to jack me....... I wouldn't even ask any questions.... just start administering a beat down.

yep a few years ago i was in my study on the computer when i heard a crash. i walked towards the kitchen and saw a guy reaching through the kitchn door window that he had broken to unlock the door from the inside. i yelled at him and he ran away. it turns out he and his buddy were casing houses in the area and had broken in to several that night. they were caught but i don't know if they were charged with anything. i put a deadbolt on that door soon after.

93....

How many times have you "whipped" it out? ( your firearm I mean) :D

Someone tried to jack my jet skis when I was up at a freinds cottage. We trailerd them up there, arrived around 11:30 at night. Obviously we werent going to unload them that night, so we went inside had a few beers and hit the hay. I woke up at about 1:00 to the sound of my trailer chains hitting my truck. I looked out the window and sure enough two kids, later found to be 17, were unhooking the trailer about to put it on their truck. My freind was a girl, so I had her call the cops while I took out "THE ULTIMATE WEAPON". The girl I was staying with gave me this knotted cherry wood club, hard as a rock!! They managed to drop the trailer and jump in their truck before i hit them, but i broke a window and dented the truck up good!! The cops later found them and the truck at a dunkin donuts. Apparently their dad put them up to it.

I still have that club hanging above my bedroom door, its freakin amazing, its like a war mace!

One night I saw my interiour lights on in my Explorer...decided to take my pooch Tyson, which is a Rottie, for a walk and so I could shut my lights off and found some ass trying to pull my system out of my car. I kicked the door shut, traping him in the car. After swearing up a storm for 5 min at him....I told him if he tried to get out of the car tyson would make his night a very sad and painful one. I called the cops on my cell and they showed up with him in my car. Stupid F'er.

Ok, this happened to a friend of mine and your name + the subject totally reminded me of it. My high school mascot was a cougar (Killian Cougars) and my friend had two in his backyard (Sheeba and Savage) of which the girl (Sheeba) was used in several photo ops.

One night I heard a huge commotion outside and saw the police at his house (he lived catty-corner from me). Next day I find out that they had heard a noise and saw someone inside their car trying to hotwire it. They didn't own a gun so they did the next best thing...

...They put Sheeba on one door and Savage on the other. The cops came, saw the two cougars and called back up. They took the car thief away (who wet himself :D ) and somehow it never ended up on the news. go figure.

Classic!!!!

I never chased anyone away, but I did let a wanna be crimina into my house though..

Its a good story and I have to thank my lucky stars for this one.

One day I came home from school and walked into the backyard and found this dood standing in front of the sliding glass door as if he was waiting for someone. So I asked him if he was here to see my brother, he said yes. So I let him in and I asked him more questions since I never seen him there before. I asked if he was a friend of my brother's friend who just gotten out of jail. He said yes and at that point, he looked a little hot and tired. So I gave him a glass of water. Then I notice there was damage to the sliding glass door. Then I looked up at him, and told him that this neighborhood had gone to shits. The funny part was, when I bent over to take a closer look at the damage, he had the glass over my head. When he did that, I asked him what he was doing. He started to tell me about how nice the cup was. That was total BS cuz we got it at a flee market.

After that, he dropped the cup and took off. I looked around in the backyard when I finally woke up and found a crowbar behind the weight lifting bench. By then he was burning his tires trying to get away. We called the cops and took some prints. They never found him of course, but my basterd of a brother got a pit bull and left it there (he never took care of it) for 10 years. The poor doggie finally died about a month ago. It hurts so much to think about him.....

Anyways, an angel was looking after me that day. Who knows what might of happened if he did hit me with that cup. I might of fell or I might of killed him. Who knows..... But damn.. that was a nice cup.. NOT!

OK lemme get something straight.... people keep COUGARS as pets and mascots down there??????

Wow.. the US is a very interesting place to live.

"everyone" has a hand gun
They keep cougars as pets
and whack deadly venomous rattle snakes with spades like how I would swat a fly....

:D

I had my car (rx8 almost broken into) in the mall. i was walking towards my car when i saw this guy keep trying to open up my doors and circling my car, so as soon as i got close i pushed the panic button and the guy ran like hell and left after about 5 min a ran to my car got in and locked the doors and drove away (I hate this mall my ex got raped in the parking garage so i am very cautious if i have to go there)

My house got robbed. Some jack ass walked through my garage in broad daylight and took about 300+ of my tools and ran off I had a neighbor see the guy run out of my garage. What sucks cops couldn't do a dam thing.

My dads pharmacy before he owned it was robbed while he was there closing, the gun man put a gun to his head and told him give all The money or I will shoot your head off. My dad is now the owner of the pharmacy and has not been broken into since his ownership (knock on wood)

P. s they caught the a$$ that robbed the pharmacy, also when you rob a pharmacy its not just against the law but the FBI will come in because it has to with drugs.

When I was in highschool, me and a friend setup a sting to catch a bicycle thief in his neighborhood. We put his brother's bike in his drive way and then hid behind some bushes. We waited for like an hour and then got bored. We put the bike away and walked down to the local 'Stop and Rob' and got some Gatorade. When we got back to his house, we noticed someone looking in his sister's bedroom window. I guess we startled him, 'cause he started to walk down the street quickly. Well, I went after the guy, and my friend got his dad. The police were called while me and my friend's dad kept the guy cornered.

Turns out the guy was a peeping tom who would break into people's homes and jerk off all over them while they slept. When the police searched him, he had a jar of Vasoline. He claimed it was for a rash, but he later confessed that he used it to greese his way in. Pretty nasty dude.

My buddy and I each gave our statements, and the guy was later convicted and sent to jail for related crimes.

WTF! What kind of a sick F**k does stuff like that. I'm glad he was caught. If he was in our neighbor hood I don't don't think they would ever find him at lest not with his bits and pieces attached.

I'm still stunned about keeping cougars as pets!!! Maybe I should look into getting a Panther or sumthin! :)

One of my dad's shooting buddies ('cause ya know, we all have guns ;)) used to have between 6 to 10 cougars at any given time in his backyard. He and his wife used to rescue them and nurse them back to health. Once they were healthy enough, he would let them go. He used to do this with black bears, too.

I was living in a townhome in a complex that had gone pretty much to hell in the 4 years I lived there - mostly non-owner occupied units, vacant units, a mess - all because the neighbor hood had gone from nice and quiet to (literally) gang infested.

I was home sick from work one day, rare, because I'm NEVER home sick from work. The unit next to me (common wall) had lots of hammering/banging noises going on. I knew it was vacant, and was due to be auctioned in 2 weeks with an open house scheduled for the next day for potential bidders. I assumed they were working in the unit to fix something up before the open house.

My small dogs (Italian Greyhounds) just would not stop barking at my back door which led to the attached garage. I finally got up, tired of the barking and walked into the garage - just as a pick came through the drywall on my side of the garage!!!

I ran inside my unit, called 911 - Cops came immediately - turns out it was two of my fellow "residents" (renters) who were in the garage of the vacant unit next door, cutting a doorway into my garage so they could rob me while I was at work!!!

It would have been pretty easy once they had the access cut to just clean out my place by parking a truck in the garage of the empty unit next door -

The police said this was not their first job, and they were so stupid that most of the stuff they had stolen from others was right there in their garage (next building over) in the same complex.

Good thing I was sick, and good thing my dogs wouldn't "shut up".

WOW!.... Cougars are vicious and fast as hell too... they'll rush you and sink their fangs in your throat in the blink of an eye if you set them off. You probably stand a better chance with a male lion because all they do is chill and they only time they really wile' out is if they have to fight over a female for mating purposes :)

Don't you need a some sort of permit to keep wild animals domestically like that? and some sort of liability insurance? and they're expensive to care for arent they?

Yep, yep, and yep. He had all that stuff. Plus, at the time, in PA, in the county he lived, with the amount of acreage he had, no one really bothered him.

My wife loves cougars. They are her favorite felines. One year for her birthday, I got her a one day job as a zoo keeper at a small local zoo. The reason? They had just brought in two cougar cubs. She had never had the chance to touch, let alone, handle and feed a cougar, so I figured she'd have fun. She did, but she said working at a zoo is one of the most tiring jobs she's ever had to do.

I did have to give her a thorough strip-search when she got home, just to make sure she didn't smuggle a cougar home with her. ;)

On topic - Here's a funny burglary story:

Burglar tracked by yellow snow Officers in Elko, Nevada say a burglar relieved himself from the roof of a restaurant that had been ripped off.

Investigators say the yellow snow yielded enough DNA to link Roger Gray to the scene. Police say he's admitted to a jewelry store burglary. Investigators are now looking at his possible involvement in burglaries at a pizza place and a JC Penney store. He's being held on $5,000 bail.

ALL OF THESE ARE FUNNY AS HELL STORIES except for the guy who jax of. good that you captured him i couldnt imagine if that happen to my sister.

93....

How many times have you "whipped" it out? ( your firearm I mean) :D

A couple of times. One time I was at a friends apartment where several gang members showed up because they heard us having a good time on the balcony. They pushed their way into the apartemnt and I was by the front door. One of them decided to threaten me, telling me he had a knife (while I was calling 911 on my cellphone). When he reached around his back my gun came right out... The cops arrested him from threatening deadly force and the fact that he had a knife on him concealed.

Another incident happened when I was leaving a parking lot where my car was being worked on. As I was backing out a car speed passed me in the parking lot. I didn't even have a chance to slow down since I didn't see them until they were already passing me. I honked my horn as any normal pissed off person would but left it at that. The driver headed into an alley way and stopped his car. I was stuck waiting for traffic so I couldn't pull out of the parking lot. The guy got out of his car and started walking towards mine with his right arm behind his back. He started yelling, "Do you want to finish this." I had no where to go and I was concerned that he might have a gun himself. Not wanting to get shot sitting in my car I jumped out and pulled my gun out but held it behind my car where he couldn't see it. As he continued to approach I told him to stop where he was. He Yelled out again "Do you want some of this." Then he began to pull his right hand out from behind his back, and I leveled my pistol at his chest. He had a stun gun. I just told him, "This is how stupid people get shot." He quickly moved back towards he car and speed off.

You've already read the other incident. So yeah I guess I have "brandished" my gun a couple of times. Haven't had to shoot anyone... yet. j/k :D

I made an incident report with the police department in each case. Nothing ever came of any of them, except the gang member getting arrested.

When I was younger a guy tried to break into our house one night, but he didn't realize we had a nasty german shepard who must've ripped his glove off. The gate was halfway open, and his glove was lying next to it next to our dog. :D

you guys whip out your weapons a lot!!

When I didn't carry a gun on me I got into a lot more fights. I don't want to wrestle with anyone while I'm carrying because that could be very disasterous. So instead I scare them off and that works pretty well.

geezus 93.

Either you just have bad luck in getting yourself in thses situations or you having a gun somehow brings trouble to your door step because in all my 29 years (which isn't that much, but still a fair amount), I've never been in a situation where I needed a gun to solve anything.

not putting you down....I'm just a little stunned.

I think it's me. I was always in trouble at school for fights and just seem to find myself in those situations. I have friends who never have been. I guess I just don't have "Nice Guy" tatooed on my forhead... :D

I think of myself as pretty peaceful for the most part but I don't take sit around and let bad things happen to the people around me. And I can spot a bad situation from a mile away, I just don't run from it.

you guys whip out your weapons a lot!!
I hardly carry anymore and when I do, no one is any the wiser. I've been in situations where I could have pulled and even used my gun and still have been completely legal. However, I was able to diffuse those incidents by talking.

I've also had guns and knives pulled on me and I've managed to walk away from every one, unscathed.

The last time someone pulled a gun on me, he was drunk, angry, and my best friend. I was armed, but I decided to use my size and speed and his condition to my advantage and broke his nose with a headbutt. I took his gun, and walked him out to his girlfriend's car. He was crying and apolizing the whole way out; but our friendship was over. He and I never spoke after that. I turned his gun over to a friend with the local PD and it was destroyed. I could have just as easily killed him with my gun, and it would have been in self defense.

93rd's done pretty much what I would have done in his position.

I don't think anyone should be allowed to own, let alone carry a gun without first knowing how, and when to use it.

I'm kinda the same way 93rd. Although, I dont have a gun. I usually just end up in altercations. The only time I have seen a hand gun in my life was when a 14 year old kid tried to rob me in Toronto.

Doesn't it make you feel kinda nauseated that inorder to feel safe going out you cant leave home with out a piece?

I've been lucky, (knock on wood).... when ever TOD come a walk'n... trouble turn foot and go the other way. I've been in many close calls. But they never quite materialize. But then again, I've been told that I look like someone you may want to think twice about starting up with :D

Doesn't it make you feel kinda nauseated that inorder to feel safe going out you cant leave home with out a piece? I'm more nauseated by the fact that people allow themselves be victims (not you specifically, but people in general).

Normally, I don't feel the need to carry. Though, even if I don't have a gun, I always have a knife on me, or close by. And I try to always be aware of my surroundings. If the shit goes down, I either want to have a plan of escape or be prepared to fight.

Far better to be safe, than sorry, IMNSHO. ;)

Here, here mad ronin. I whole-heartedly agree. I don't live in fear but I don't want to be a victim either.

When I was growing up my family was watching TV and we had the porch light on, we see this silouette outside the french doors, the person bent over and picked up something, my dad rushed to the front door, and then followed the running footsteps and found his shoes about 100' away from our house. I guess when the guy realized that the foot steps following him belonged to the size 16 shoes, he decided to drop them and take off.
