Why would anyone drink Budwater in a country where real beer is readily available???

So I'm in NJ now- left everything at home except the SAK. The town we're staying in is pretty nice, so needing a gun seems extremely unlikely. Plus, I see a cop at least every 10 minutes when we're out. I think not carrying actually makes it feel a lot more like vacation.

It seems to me that retaliation would be more likely if you encounter ended with the intruder being arrested or killed; that would be an escalation over the B&E. If somebody breaks into my house and then decides to run away when they hear me a'comin', great! About the last thing I want to do...

It's not too late to start now! If you're going to spring for the coin to armor a car, I hope you're going to stick a BMG or two on there as well.

I think I only worked at one hotel where I was given a master key, and it definitely wasn't an upscale establishment. Even then, we were instructed to do nothing more than call the police and watch the scene unfold from a safe distance if we observed some type of crime; definitely no entering...

It's possible that another guest called the front desk and said, "There's a lot of noise and I think it's coming from room XXX," which would be the only reason I can fathom that he would have knocked on your door. A more appropriate reaction would have been to stand in the hallway for a moment...

They're not all arrogant idiots.

I used to be a hotel security guard. You can and should call the front desk to verify him, especially if he's not in a uniform. And if he's treating you badly you should tell the night auditor! Find out what company he works for and call them directly if you're really mad. A lot of the guys...

<~ Lexingtonian There are a couple people from Lexington.

The last place I lived had a peephole, and I pinned a circle of black construction paper over the inside that could be rotated out of the way when one needed to look through the hole. That way the light was always blocked and it just looked like it was dark inside. Of course, you may look for...

He sounds like a loony. :scrutiny:

Considering that I'm on THR right now because I was woken by the furnace panel falling off for no particular reason (which sounds just like a gang of ninjas breaking into your house when it wakes you up) and couldn't see a thing in the pitch black house, I think weapon-mounted lights are a great...

If you want a monitored security system, check out Lasershield. I wish I'd known about something like this when I was an apartment dweller. They even have a [somewhat expensive] attachment that will call the monitoring service via cellular network and a [more reasonably priced] device that...

Allllllllllrighty then.:confused:

So much hate in here. :uhoh:
