.....and I carry.

Never have and I hope I never have to.nojoke

I also have never needed a seat belt or a helmet (on a street bike), but I always wear both.. ok I wear one or the other not both at the same time.
I also take a Spare Air on every dive, again never needed it and I hope I never do.

2 bad days
1. My parents house got broken into when I was a kid. Luckily nobody was home. My dad was always ticked about that. We were on vacation so the house was locked, normally it wasn't. So the punks tore up the sliding glass door getting in.

2. My current home was broken into, my wife came home while they were still in the house. They heard the garage door opening and ran out the back before she got inside.

The wife and I take care of someone in our home so we use to think it was safe having someone at home as far as a deterrent to someone trying to break in, but last year a couple doors down a lady was home (actually sleeping) while some punks proceeded to break in (during the day). Some dogs alerted the wife to the situation and made it known police were on the way.

Just made us realize that people don't know or care if you are home when they decide to break in.

My niece and her boyfriend live in the basement apartment of my sisters house. One evening my niece saw a face in the window above her bed. She yelled. Her boyfriend and my bro in law went outside and caught the guy. He was caught with his zipper down and his junk hanging out. He's in jail now, serving a two year sentence. Turns out, this isn't his first offence. This guy was lucky he didn't get the snot beat out of him. The kicker to this was that my brother-in-law was nearly arrested by the younger cop because he was carrying one of his swords.


By the way, I don't do group hugs. Now, if you want to have a shot of whisky...

For me it all depends on the make up of the group.

How many Non Leos here have ever used a weapon to stop a crime, or hold a criminal, until a Leo could intervene?

Not taking a side. Just asking a question.

Me.....And the crime would have been against me.

Cool :thumbup:

Likewise here in the UK. Here not even the police here are armed with anything more than a truncheon most of the time. Even carrying a knife here will get you arrested. Carrying a gun, even a 22 will get you five years in jail. Some of you may find that madness, but it's why no one gets shot here and on the odd occasion they do it's headline news.

law enforcement without a gun??? No way on God's planet would I consider that. I carried three. I am here because I did. English cops without guns??? I can imagine nothing dumber. I really mean that--nothing dumber.

That's pretty cool; but, from what I see/read on spyderlovers there are quite a few people that would find it difficult to bend that far.:dontknow:

It's a different society... please don't try to judge them by OUR yardsticks; they've got their own. :thumbup:
