My dad just did recently called the police to his home and they were there in just a very few minutes. However, if you at least try to come to a less violent resolution by using gunfire as a last resort, people will tend to think you less blood thirsty.
Okay.
You risk your family by not taking adequette steps to protect them against someone who obviously has no regard for the law, I read their …tells, when they broke into my home, and I could see they obviously don’t respect others rights.
I’ll protect my family.
I hope most folks think I am so blood thirsty and crazy that Hannibal Lecter would shit his pants if forced to enter my house. These damn LDSers and Girl Scouts are getting on my nerves.
Till some liberal court took away their right to own a moat, no longer obviously being neccessary to maintaing a proper malitia 
So get up, get, get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the late crown
And what about those of us who live 20 minutes, minimum, from the nearest police station?
My friend, the one that had the crazy guy pounding on his door? He told me that a few weeks later that his neighbors (some college kids) were having a party and they were throwing things at his dogs in the backyard. He called the cops, but this time he told them that he saw someone who was obviously drunk and they were about to get into a car and drive away. Almost before he hung up the phone, lights and siren went off and a cop was there in less than a minute. He was pissed that there was apparently no drunk drivers to bust, but he was there pretty damned quickly. Now, is it just odd circumstance that when he felt that his life was threatened, the cops took almost a half hour to get there, but when the call was about a potential bust of a drunk driver it took less than a minute? Hard to say. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt; chances are the cop in the latter situation just happened to be in the area. The point, however, is that there is no guarantee that a cop will get there in time to deal with the situation effectively. Could be a minute, could be a half hour.
They didn’t rely entirely on passive defenses, either. Those crenellations weren’t just there to look pretty, you know.
I HAD my neighbor call the police when I told him I was going to likely shot someone. He even saw the load gun I was going to use.
Actual shots were fired.
The police showed up 10 to 20 minutes AFTER the fact.
If you can hold out for that long, have at it.
Yeah, but if they take more than 20 minutes, you get free breadsticks and dipping sauce. Yummy!
You pussy. I would want more ammo and better guns so I can KILL KILL KILL! NASCAR!
Yes, well we’ve got over firing cannons at people just because they looked threatening at the bottom of your garden. 
There are these things called Patrol Cars.
I’ve managed to live 53 years without owning a gun, and the guns my husband has are locked up and unusable in an emergency.
Unless your point is that everybody must be like you, so what?
And it took 10 to 20 minutes for one to come check out who I, Bloodthirsty gun tooting and gun shooting BILL, WHO HAD SOMEONE CALL THE COPS, was shooting at.
This call the cops thing is mostly theorectical crap until response times are virtually guaranteed to be VERY short period of time.
If YOU wanna wait. Good luck. I’ll do what I have to until the calvary arrives. And I sure as heck won’t pass judgement on someone else does as well.
…
Does he keep the spare tire for the car in the garage under lock and key as well?
I’ve NEVER ever OWNED a gun. So? And I believe in capping someones ass if neccessary. I think I am standing on higher moral ground than you.

You know, you’re not a bad person for wanting to minimize bloodshed whenever possible. But it really gets insulting when you seem to insist that anyone willing to use or willing to advocate use of a gun to defend their property is some kind of bloodthirsty murderer who just wants even the slightest excuse to empty a clip into Lil Billy.
goddammit Bill, that made me laugh so hard I spit soda on my desk.
