what do you do to make yourself feel safe at night ?

[noxqqq]

wow.
you all wont belive this but i came home from town 2 days ago and the house down the street was blocked off by police tape..

today i found out they found a dead body behind the house, but no details except he was from like 2 towns over. I live 30 miles from town next to a very small community of 150 people. i dont know all my neighbors in fact i only met a few of them.

my point is this guy was murdered and dumped in my neighborhood which is 30 miles from town. so i suspect one of my neighbors had something to do with it. ya know deal gone bad or some kind of theft .. i dont know..pretty fuc**D up and scary .

now i got my mossberg by my bed side at all times since then i also just got 2 new pups. I dont do anything illegal here but i got like tools and cars and generator..comic books.. the list goes on. The cops take like 45 minutes at least to get out here. man i dont know I guess i just neded to rant.. ill post when this gets solved and i feel safer.

Answer: Mind my business, respect people I know and don't, and hope for a greater tomorrow.

On planet Earth there is no complete safety from anything.

i sleep with my covers then a blanket on top lol and lock all my doors

I sleep next to a man who is 6' 4" and weighs 265 pounds. My husband is my safety device. But I agree with Innominate. No one's completely safe. Just look at those shoppers at the mall in Nebraska today.

Normally people dump bodies in areas they have nothing to do with, Noxqqq. Someone doesn't have to have watch too many TV detective shows to know cops canvass the area in which bodies are found to find clues. Any halfway smart criminal (I know smarts may not always be a factor) is going to dump a body far away from his usual places to throw cops off his scent.

Chico Enterprise Record - Glenn County officials investigate suspicious death

Iâ??m not worried about anyone getting in while Iâ??m home. Weâ??ve got two Segal deadbolt locks loaded with Medico cylinders, one with a standard cylinder protector and one with a heavy-duty steel Medico cylinder guard. One lock also has an indoor cylinder that requires a key to open from inside, to prevent someone from breaking a hole through the peephole and opening the door, or getting past the window gate and using the door to exit. Window locks and Window gates on fire escape window. Some of this is not legal for apartments here.

If they want to get in bad enough, especially while you're not home, they can. About all you can do in that case is get alarms or a dog.

My philosophy has always been to make it difficult enough that the burglars will pick a softer target.

I think Innominates got it,Being a cool repsectful person is a good start.....plus if your like me and got loads of family living with you,and it helps that there is Construction tools lying around,if your not familiar with my yard...You'll trip and fall on a pick or something while in the dark.

I'd be scared if I lived in the U.S too, there is punks with GUNS who would put a fucking bullet in you for a tootsie pop (whatever the hell they are).

Keep my doors bolted up, and i have a collection of knives around the house, so they're easy to get ahold of no matter where i am inside. Theres abit of scaffolding in my bedroom but i dont think i'd use that. I'm more likely to go for the knives.

The other option would get me arresed and get my SGC taken away from me.

Unfortunately this can be said now in the UK as well, and whats the governments response---lets ban airguns, that will really help.
Also in the UK if I was to attack a burglar I would be up on a charge.
We just try to keep everything locked up tight at night.
Mrs NCM has another "item" of defence as a last resort for when I am at work and she would not hesitate to use it, it's a case of self preservation after all.


Cheers and be safe
