<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7978440, member: 100459"]I know I've rattled this cage long enough, especially about SDBs. My secured places are around the 4 acres. I'm sure that if some type of rabble wants to steal something where we live, they would first get an address for their GPS, but i live about a mile down an unregistered dirt road surrounded by trees and farmland. If someone came on our lot, our dogs and our neighbor's dogs would bark up a storm so loud, the people on the main road would know something is up. Although we don't have an electrical security system, they would have to get out of there because the noise would (as my mother would say) wake up the dead, giving me to check all the deadbolts, call 911 (my wife taught most of the deputies), get my wife and dogs in a secure place, and lock and load. I served in the 82nd Airborne Division and the 173 Airborne and am not afraid to shoot. If they are in the house, they will be killed. Not by my animals. They're with my wife so she can keep them quiet. I will shoot to kill anyone in the house then. That sounds brave for a 73 year old man. Everything will be all right if I don't have a heart attack. I'm no fool. I will hide in a place that I could see and shoot them. The would not get a chance to shoot me, unless they hear my knees knocking together.</p><p>All of that is well and good until the time comes and they use whatever they carry and blow my house to ribbons until that can find me and or my wife and animals.</p><p>My best weapons are our daily family prayer. That started when I was with my father, mother and brother and sisters, then my wife and children. We have been blessed over the years, although there have been some bumps.
