Attempted Break In

[MikePal]

I'm really worried about this..

When I saw your ID location (Hamilton) it reminded me of an article I saw last month....never heard any outrage by the Gun owners there. Maybe you right to hide your guns

Mayor Eisenberger was talking about criminals with guns. Most people know that criminal use of guns by gangbangers shooting up neighborhoods has nothing to do with hunting firearms or hunters,in particular. I'm fairly certain that's the case,here.

The mayor, like many in public office shot his mouth off without thinking about what he said. Numerous letters were written to the editor of the local papers stating that the problem isn't with legal gun owners and that maybe the mayor and the police chief should concentrate on enforcing existing laws.

Politicians are for the most part wh@res who will cater to whoever offers them the best chance of re-election. Conservatives are not immune to this.

Anyone noticed how he qualified Japan's "lowest homicide rate"? Only the lowest where guns were involved.....

He was sure talking out of his arse with that stupid comment,without doubt.

I had a break in last October. What a horrible feeling. When I walked in the place was trashed. They opened every possible drawer and cabinet and just threw everything onto the floor. Seemed like they were just looking for cash or anything they could hock for cash really quickly. They even stole the money from my kids piggy banks. Freakin' despicable. I had an alarm system too. As I'm sure you know there is a delay when you come in so that you have time to disarm. My delay was set to 30 seconds. That was way more than enough time for them to make a B line to the panel in the basement and rip the wires out of the system, rendering the alarm useless. I installed a steel frame door that's a lot harder to break down and shortened the delay on my system to 10 seconds. The steel frame door is a lot harder to kick down. With only 10 seconds it would be harder to get to the panel in time to disable it. I didn't have a dog at the time but I do now. I think that a simple bark would be enough to deter a would be burglar. As far as your guns are concerned, Just keep em locked up and out of sight. Once they're in they can do pretty much what they want. All you can do is try to deter or delay them. Unfortunately there are a lot of a-holes in the world. Some of them are your co-workers and neighbors that you shake hands with. You just never know. DTA

Excellent points! It's important that any alarm system be properly configured. An experienced installer knows how to set it up for maximum effeciency. My system is completely wireless on a cell service with a four hour battery back up. The crooks can cut all the wires they want. It'll keep them in one place for the Police to scoop them up. Stoners are dumb as stumps. It's also important to choose an alarm company that dispatches the Police immediately as opposed to some that only dispatch one of their own security guards that shows up a half hour later,sees there's been a B&E and then calls the Police. These type of alarm services are next to useless.

The way they pulled the wires it wouldn't have mattered if I had the cell service in my system. They cut the brain of the system at it's roots. No signal to go anywhere. When I had a look at the panel it's really simple. It's a major flaw in the design of most home alarm systems. Best thing to do would be to put some sort of locked box around the panel covering where they could get at the wires. Anything to delay them long enough for the system to go off. If they can get to it before it goes off the cell service wouldn't matter. The house is theirs. I figured shortening the delay to 10 seconds and locking the door to that room would be enough. I've thought about installing cameras but haven't gotten around to it yet. Wouldn't really stop them anyway. All you have to do is wear a hoodie and glasses or something. Any possible identification would never hold up against the reasonable doubt in a jury's mind in court.

He didn't mention anything about legal or illegal guns. He said that he wanted guns banned and that he doesn't know why anyone would need a gun. Well, the truth is, I don't need a gun. I also don't need a motorcycle. I don't need a car. I don't need a bicycle. I don't need a snowboard. I don't need a cell phone. I don't need a house with a yard. I don't see why anyone would need a Ferrari. I don't know why I need a canoe. No one needs anything other than basic food, clothing and shelter. It seems to me that his vision of the world would be just like Cuba. Beautiful beaches and no one has anything they don't need. We don't have the beaches up here. Can you imagine? I'll move to Baghdad. I know another place that guns are banned; Honduras. Have a look at their gun crime stats. So much for banning legal gun ownership preventing crime.
