Seriously Warb, you put too much stigma on guns. Come on down to Texas and I'll take you out shooting.Does that offer stand for all? Cause I'll take you up on that offer!
Heck yeah!! My father-in-law as a pretty sweet range built on his 80 acres we can go to. Seriously.

I should take you up on that offer sometime. I could use a nice road trip.

Sorry, not a fan. There's a nice forest back there, I think, but the woman in the picture blocks a good 45% of it.
Geez....after the endless minutes I spent putting that together for you!
You never answered the question. Was it Basic Instinct?

I have a kick ass security system strapped to the bottom of my bed...

I just don't care what somebody does to me because I have learned how do disarm anybody...
Your confidence is kind of worrisome. How does anyone learn how to "disarm anybody"? No matter how good you are at anything, there is always someone out there who is better at it. Your robber could very well be bragging about having learned how not to be disarmed by anybody to some of his friends at this very moment. Besides, if he has a gun and you're standing a few feet away from him, there is no disarming him, period.
Yes that is true. I will do as told, but I will be looking for a break in there defenses. If it comes down to hurting people, I will take a bullet if I have to just to make sure nobody else gets hurt. It's kind of similar to, If your plane is hijacked, would you risk you life to save the people on the plane.
I know my alarm is good because I opened the backdoor without turning it off and everybody woke up pissed.
Yeah, but that was a non-forced entry via a regular obvious entrance. Any alarm will handle that. If your livlihood involves breaking into places you are not suppose to be, you learn how to handle things like alarms. Most small time crooks who don't want to risk it will avoid places with security systems, but there are ways around them. For example, are all your windows hooked up to alarms? If not, then you have a good number of safely breachable points right there.
My security system, has window and door sensors. There is no getting into my house without making noise. My security system has an alternate power source, for the possibility that they cut the power. I opened my window the other day, to let the breeze come through, and it went off. If somebody is to successfully break in, I will not be home. I have some material things in my house, but they are just things. All of my doors are steel, with steel frames. I don't have any access points in the house that aren't alarmed. Not even a chimney.
On the good side of things, most of the robbery reports around here where "small time" criminals. The kind that drive away fast if they see an ADT, or Brinks sign. The biggest part of them were drug related. My neighbors were robbed, because they didn't have a security system. This is a small town in Tennessee we are talking about, not a city full of professional burglars.

Are the hijackers snakes i suppose it would depend on how many snakes what kind they were and if they had any weapons other than their god-given weapons of course which raises the question if they even believe in god and if so is it the same kind of god as humans believe in or is it some snake god and if it is the snake god then what kind of powers does the snake god have and if the snake god and the human god were to battle for control of the heavens and jungles who would emerge victorious and if it was the snake god would we have to spend our lives praying to the snake god if we want to get into snake heaven or would we be ineligible for a snake heaven and where does the raptor jesus fit in to all of this?

I feel the same way you do. I'd gladly take a bullet to protect those around me. But when it comes to material possessions, it isn't worth taking a bullet or a knife.
And it is a lot easier to be heroic when you are just talking about being in that situation than it is when you are actually in it. When that sort of situation is on you, your blood tends to turn ice cold and your limbs to rubber. A few deep breaths and a couple of moments to clear your thoughts and sort out your priorities and you can get over that feeling. I've been in that kind of situations a few times. Always made it out with me and those around me unscathed. You just kind of have to gauge their behavior. If they look like they are out to hurt someone, plan to make a move; if they seem like they just want your money, let them have it. Not worth a potential trip to the hospital.
With the sort it sounds like you might be dealing with, I highly doubt they'd be the type to break into an occupied home or not do much more than make threats if they did. Sounds like you have a pretty solid security system too.

I wouldn't have thought they would have been as cheap as this one was, but it was a discount special. I figured a security system would run upwards of $800.

but Warbler, that is impossible. If you take all his guns, the cop wouldn't have one to shoot you in the back with.
fixed.
Warb, if you could take the gun off of Ferris' hip, I'd be damn impressed. Beyond impressed. I'd pronounce you the greatest man who ever lived. But I just don't see it happening.

yeah, I'd guess it is easier said than done. I'd bet there's a 99.9999999999% chance that I'd end up dead if I tried.

I say go for it. You don't get odds like 0.0000000001% every day.

Any update on this project?
Any progress?
I have just finished editing the trailer and I will soon be designing DVD covers, posters and avatars. Thanks for asking!
And Frink, for the love of Mike, please change your avatar. It hurts me head.
