Do you have a weapon in your house in case of intruders?

[mp-seventythree]

I have a cosh, one swing would render anyone immobile, probably with massive bone fractures.

My friend bought a Samurai sword and this weird knife from Ebay, I asked him if they were for display or protection and he said protection. I asked him where they were going to be kept, and he said they'd be on his living room wall.
I said to him "don't you think if someone breaks in they will do it downstairs, and maybe take the knife and sword?"

I went there last night for a few beers, and no sign of the sword or the knife :cool:

[Freebasser]

There's a small axe on the floor next to me, but it's not for use on intruders. It's just... there.

[kll]

Nope. Aside from household knives, baseball bat, tennis rackets and shovels, I don't got shit...

[adam_f]

I have Steven Seagal stashed away in a closet.

a rottweiler :cool:

What good is a fat middle aged man going to be.....human shield?

[ericlee]

I have Fran Drescher at my apartment. Whenever the wrong person comes by she starts laughing and they run away in agony.

[avignon]

Four samaurai swords, two sets of askrima (spelling?) sticks, a throwing knife, a butterfly knife, about five other pocket knives, nunchuks (spelling?), a tonto knife (can cut through a car door), a set of throwing stars, a staff, pepper spray, a slingshot, and two paint grenades. I used to have a collapseable night stick but it got stolen. (/irony)
And I have an attack housecat named Whispie. She is overweight and has no front claws, but she will bite the shit right out of your feet.

I take it you haven't seen his 2005 direct-to-video classic 'Submerged' Case closed.

my god...

I was thinking about getting a paintball gun, just sting the hell out of them. Plus there's the added humiliation of them being covered in paint.

I do my best to avoid anything with him in. A favourite quote I read about him was after DMX had worked with him on the movie Exit Wound - "Steve Seagal is a fucking fuckhead"

[like2_drink]

[mp-seventythree]

That would be quite cool

[wavin_goodbye]

i can't see anyone breaking into my house while anyone is at home.. there are after all 5 people living here.. not to mention people are up at all hours of the night, and coming home at various times too

[cosmo105]

Are their a lot of ghetto ninjas in your neighborhood?

[cosmo105]

you have no idea, man. they come in throwing signs and wearing their BK ninja boots and you have to make sure you don't wear a red or blue sash. them streets is killer.

[avignon]

yeah, I have stuff at different places all over the house, so that I can fall back from any point of entry. One sword is in an out of the way spot near the front door.

I hate living alone.

[adam_f]

My bombastic street hood beta fish Walt sleeps by my side. I knows that if some crazy bastard walks in, Walt's gonna go ahead and fuck up the fool.

I hope for your boy's sake that he doesn't ever try to sneak into your home and surprise you.


Anyway, I have a baseball bat under the bed. I've only ever come close to using it once.

Right now, I don't think he'll be trying to come to my house.

Tell the story. You almost bashed someone's head in when....

[adam_f]

He owed Adam thirty-four dollars in quarters. Just can't get enough of those private booths.

[Echewta]

I'm the only bedroom on the bottom floor of a two story house. Doesn't matter what weapons I may have, the zombies always hit the downstairs first. The window is right near my bed. Why waste the money on a gun or a flame thrower if zombie hands are going to crash right through the window to grab my head and pull me outside to eat my delicious insides and toasted outsides?

[buddmonkey]

One big ass American Bulldog, and a mean little Beagle.... One gets the top, and the other gets both your legs... Oh and if that dont work I got a little Shihtzu I will chuck at your head.... :D

[Qdrop]

i currently do not own any firearms....and thought about getting one for my house...
but i think i'm gonna nix that...


and go with the "baseball bats by the bed and behind the couch, and a rottwieler" method.

and guy that gets through 2 snarling dogs and me swinging a baseball bat deserves to take whatever he wants....'cept for my woman.

do you feel confident you could use them to stop an intruder?

[TAL]

I've got nothing.

Oh. Well, one night, my sister-in-law, who was stayin with us for a few months last year, said she noticed the motion sensing lights go on in the backyard, and then saw the lights on in the shed, with the door open. So I grabbed the bat, told her to lock the door and keep the phone with her and went outside to check it out. When I got to the shed, there was nobody there, but the door had been left wide open. Nothing was missing. Not that anyone would really want the lawnmower and gardening tools or the old ass bikes in there. But still, I hate worrying about intruders, feeling violated and whatever.

[enree erzweglle]

I have a feral-seeming cat.

that's the plight of being human.
trying to balance out instinctual fear..with rational thought....

everyone has that "Straw Dogs" fear deep down...

[Mot]

4 dogs, (pitt, staff, dane, chihuahua) collapasable baton, brass knuckles and a switch blade in the living room. If shit gets serious, I got the .357 and the boom stick in the bedroom.

When I lived at home with my parents we had a phase when there were weapons planted all around the house.

My brother's ex was living with a guy who ran a bar that was frequented by drug dealers. He started barring them and one night they broke his door down with a telegraph pole, rushed in and started hacking him up with knives.

He had been kind of expecting this so hid a large ornamental sword under his bed but didn't get to it in time. My nephew who was 7 years old at the time had the presence of mind to try and get it for him but it was too late. His mother's boyfriend got seriously chopped up but survived.

Meanwhile she and my nephew came to stay with us. It was in all the papers and they were saying that she was in a special police safe house, when she was actually staying with us. We had no idea if the drug dealers would come for her but we left knives, sticks and all manner of rudimentary weapons all around the house for a good few weeks.

[cosmo105]

do you feel confident you could use them to stop an intruder?
yes. i used to teach nunchaku classes. :)

but if i couldn't get to them for some reason, i'm very confident in my fighting/grappling abilities. i wouldn't want to get into a fight with myself. i've had 6 years of intensive training. i've also got a 6'3" guy backing me up, so that's cool.

if said intruder had a gun, that would be a different story, though.

[QweenOfBoggle]

my dad keeps a few guns in his closet/bedstand

I personally keep an aluminum baseball bat under my bed.

especially now. we've had a peeping tom around my neighborhood lately. the cops have gotten 28 calls in one week and finally decided to check it out. idiots. I'm kinda scared :(

[zorra_chiflada]

joe's an ex-security guard. that's kinda protection.

[Documad]

So there are only two of us with guns?

I don't keep mine loaded right now so I would need the intruder to give me a lot of notice.

[Calimero jr.]

I've got my swiss army assault rifle in my closet. I would never use it in case someone would come inside my apartment.
I still can bite though :)

[King of Rock II]

i have a telephone so i can telephone the police (y)

i can say: hello, police? yes, i telephoned you because there is an intruder in the house. then, the police will show up in a car, hopefully with sirens on (sirens make it extra exciting) and they will have guns and they will arrest the intruder. they will say "hey intruder, what you're doing is not right, you're coming with us buddy!" :)

... also i have a stiletto under my bed and a baseball bat in the closet.

[Mcmac]

fuck i want a gun sooo bad!....fuckin australia!

[Calimero jr.]

What would you do with it ??
First time I had a real gun in my hands I realized that I wasn't that much impressed...

[yeahwho]

When I'm sleeping, if attacked, I'll use my breath. I ain't shittin' ya. Just a warning. My morning breath can knock a buzzard off a crap wagon.

[Dr Deaf]

we keep a baseball bat and hatchet near the front door.

no one really fucks with our shit on the grid. unless you're running a grow show; in which case, everyone fucks with your shit.

[Mcmac]

*goes and gets baseball bat and places it under bed*

i would just have it......it would be cool....i used to have a facination with guns when i was younger and it only sort of went away...maybe hunting rabbits and shit i'd do on the farm

and if an intruder came in i would just threaten him with it...but i dont tihnk i have the balls do shoot a robber...coz there just robbing
