First line of defense....

[Super33]

Before my benelli comes into play, a perpetrator will have to punch through my defenses. I have a feeling I'll never need the M4 but it's still a good thing to have. What defenses do you have before you bust out the Benelli?

 

Here's mine...

Nice one. I have a sign that says: NO TRESSPASSING. VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT. SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN.

There's not a dog alive that's bullet-proof, knife-proof, or bludgeon-proof. The most you can ever hope for out of any dog is for the dog to buy you a little time so you can seize the initiative. To think otherwise is just downright foolish. "My (insert 'badass' dog breed here) is the most awesome sort of protection dog there is" is a cherished delusion of many.

 

A genuine sociopath will take that dog out so fast it will make your head spin.

 

I suggest you keep your HD weapons at the ready and use the dog strictly as a meatshield. If you have to 'bust out' your HD then you're on the wrong end of the torque curve.

That's common sense, this is supposed to be a fun thread Dr. Spock... Anybody can shoot a dog . But as the post is titled...."First line of defense". I never expect my dog to be a hero, that's for sure. If I did, I wouldn't be armed now would I?

Your 'first line of *defense*' is subject to being breached in under a second. lol

 

Here's a thought: get another dog to work with that one and double the length of time your 'first line of *defense*' remains viable.

 

FWIW I rely on protection dogs myself, but I comprehend their limitations. And yes, I DO expect my dog to be a 'hero' by charging into the fight at WOT without any hesitation, and I fully appreciate the consequences.

 

From my perspective a dog which is a component to one's home defense is strictly a buffer.

What are you a robot? Instead of your computer generated analysis why don't you post some pictures of your dogs? Or post a funny sign like those other fellas..

Post a pic of your wife then.....

 

Seriously though my dog sleeps in my room and is alert to strange noises and what not like most other dogs, if there's any suspicion in the night hours it's not my dog checking the house and I'd like to keep it that way. He stays behind where my family is.

Pictures of my wife would be a mistake cuz she would pistol whip me when I am sleeping,lol

I love my pitbull, but I didn't get him to protect me (he's not that brave anyways ) I only need him to wake me up if there's trouble. I’ll gladly take care of an intruder myself (the dog is spoiled and sleeps in the bed). Now if I had a cat, my first line of defense would be to throw the cat at the intruder (they always land claws out )

[Super33]

My cat OWNS my pitbull. It's pretty pathetic. The dog is like a big baby most of the time.

[saym14]

first line- gated community

alarm yard sign

motion detector lights

video cameras

door locks

house alarm

then the two dobermans

then me with the eveil black guns.

Teach the dogs to shoot and you won't even have to get out of bed

[twowheelhooligan]

I have 14 lines of defense.

 

Chambered round in my G-21, and the following 13 in the magazine.

 

lezzz see, that's 230gr X 14 = 3220gr of lead

 

Then a Surefire w/ 160 lumens.

 

Then a six-pack of Guinness to calm the nerves afterward.

 

So 3220gr X 160 lumens divided by 6-pack = Happy to Survive!

 

Someone please step in if my math is off!

LOL my moms cat smacks the **** outta my pit ever time I bring her over, dumb ass dog thinks the cat is playing while her nose is bleeding all over the yard.

[kronik]

This thread needs more bully pictures.

 

I have a Great Dane - ... harmless. I am actually better off throwing the cat.

haha

 

actually tho the best part of dogs is thier early warning barking. In most cases a robber will choose to go elsewhere once they hear the dogs.

[Super33]

That's one thing my dog is good at, he has a fierce, snarling, deep, ripping bark when somebody's outside or when somebody knocks on the door. He usually scares the crap out of people but when I let that person in the tail starts wagging and he's all hugs and kisses. Not exactly sure what he'd do if somebody he doesn't know just walked in the house, nobody tried it yet.

[AggiePhil]

This is the view from my front porch. Took this the last time some lunatic tried to come mess with my family. As you can see, he didn't get far before becoming caught up in the first line of defense. Benelli never even came off Safe.

wow, someone in madison isnt an anti gun liberal! nice to see. (im from Wi too)

[twowheelhooligan]

HEHEHE, funny! Yeah, I figure WI is no notorious for how much the bill writers "love" guns, anyone in this forum could understand.

 

BUT....being as to your a fellow cheddarhead, you *REALLY* understand!

 

Thank you for your support of the 2nd Amendment.

What the heck is going on there Phil? It looks like you have a rabid sumo wrestler in a chainlink and concertina wire cage that you unleash upon evildoers.....
