How should Grandpa know to prepare for a hammer and not a gun?

Criminals, much like the Spanish Inquisition, often rely on surprise as a tactic.

Found the book you suggested bob, and have started reading... Before I put my Big reply up about this I want to finish this up...

And when the criminal laughs at grandpa for bringing a knife to a gunfight? ? Just curious.

And what if his grandpa had only had a baseball bat? Or his fists? Or a knife?  Would any of them been less affective in scaring off the crook?  You don't have to have a gun to scare people away...  :-\

Tony do think that any US citizen should be allowed to hold on to weapon's grade plutonium?
 Why not work to create a society where guns would never be needed?
Uggg... Just gonna shut my mouth for now... Gun nuts drive me up the wall,
Fatkid,
I quoted that from one of your posts up above. What is really ironic is this post from a different topic that you responded to under title "NEED TOO LITE A FIRE UNDER SOMEONE'S BUTTE COULD USE SOME HELP ON THIS ONE"  ::)

Easiest option... Shoot them...
Being a college student myself (a quite the partier, if I do say so myself), you really have no other options but to shoot somebody... Most college boys don't really care too much about going to jail for the night... Hell, since summer has started I've had to spend the night in the drunk tank 4 times, and have been charged with underage consumption and minor in possetion 3 times... Will the 5-0 stop me?  Probably not... Do they stop the parties at our house?  Yeah for the night it closes down, but the next night we're right back at it again...
So like I said, if you really want someone to take you seriously you probably should shoot one of them... That's should get their attention... :-

Shoot them?  :-*

Fatkid,

The real problem behind crime is human nature and the variance of personality types. I suggest you read _Inside the Criminal Mind_ by Stanton Samenow.

Just FYI, I want to reply to this whole comment, but first I do want to read this book (will look when I am at work tomorow).  Second I want to do a little research to make sure I get all my facts correct and documented.  So I am preparing a reply, I just want to make sure it comes out correctly. :)

What about all the Drug related deaths? Take a look at this http://www.drugwarfacts.org/causes.htm. More people die from smoking and alcohol than homicide. Why don't we worry about the stuff thats not in the constitution first.

There are plenty of millionaires who commit crimes. Most criminals are the same race as their victims. Most criminals are in the same socioeconomic class as their victims.

I don't know who has filled your brain with such nonsense, but it is nonsense. The platitudes you cite do not stand up to empirical scrutiny.

Yes, I'm a proud gun nut! I figured this would be a heated thread since you go one way or the other way.  Try to keep it civil and remember to respect one anothers opinions! We might disagree on one topic but there are many others we agree on.    :D
