Halloween

[GarandOwner]

Trick or Treating was on of my favorite things as a kid, fall is my favorite season, so the whole Halloween/Thanksgiving holiday is alot of fun for me. Now that I am not a little kid anymore, I give out candy, the way I see it, when I was young people gave me candy, now I return the favor.......Llast year I was wearing my wwII airborne uniform, so I had my 1911 on my hip. I don't foresee needing it any more on Halloween than any other day......though I have been known to sit around my house with my WWII helmet on, and my 1911 on my hip....Im not crazy, I promise

Some of you guys here are more paranoid than the idiot liberals that are ANTI_gun who freak out at the site of guns.

Seriously man. The way some of you get paranoid at simple things like carrying in a wedding or for Halloween I think I'd rather just be shot.

Ah, RubenZ, some of us experienced Halloween in Detroit ... and the even scarier "Devil's Night." And you probably never met some of our ex-wives, either ...

My wife usually handles the T-o-T duties while I sit on the couch with at least one pistol hidden but accessable. If I'm handing out the candy, my pistol's concealed on me.

When a 14 year old gangbanger wannabe tells me to give him "you didn't give me enough candy" I'm inclined to ask for the candy I did give back.

That's when I just apologize to the kid...telling him I spent too much on ammo instead of candy...

Here in Reno

College kids invade yards and destroy pumpkins, they are truly lucky I don't own a house....I have seen them kick pumpkins, I am tempted to make one out of cement.
Some teens and older think H'night is a good reason to vandalize random homes.
The local college girls also treat the guys to "dress like a hooker night".
In my old stomping grounds (The Bronx) we used to throw eggs at kids we didn't like and TP trees.
I wish I could stay home and pass out candy, I like kids.

Gee gunsmith,

You make it sound like "dress like a hooker night" is a bad thing!

Halloween is the one night a year I ALWAYS load the silver bullets......

I am never home. We both always takes the kids out. One year everyone we passed loved my sons costume. He was a robot complete with blinking multicolored LED lights. It was the best costume ever.

Like my friend Correia said:

"If I have my pants on, I also have a firearm on"~!

Its like a good neighbor, "always there when I need it".

I fill my yard with decorations, and usually hide out in the yard to scare kids walking through the lit path. Vandalism and theft isn't much of an issue when there are 3-4 adults and a half dozen kids ages 6-15 working in the yard.

We go a little overboard.

I thought the punk kids in my neighborhood would be a problem, until I overheard them say "This house is so cool, I'll kick anyone's ass that touches it." I quit worrying about it, then.

If you aren't going to. . . . . .

stroll the neighborhood while smoking a good cigar and escorting your own little ones then turn off the porch light and put a sign on the door that reads: GONE to CHURCH SEE YOU THERE! IF YOU EGG THE HOUSE BE SURE AND SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS .

I did the cowboy thing last year, with my Glossy Stainless Sheriff's Model Vaquero in a borrowed gunbelt.

No need to be packing. I'm going to wear my Steven Segall costume.

Ever see gunsmith dressed like a hooker?....

 

[gunsmith]

LOL good one!

Ever see gunsmith dressed like a hooker?

Hey! my legs are almost as good as Guilianni's!

 

[mbt2001]

You can always dress as...

 

[PTK]

mbt2001, that's who I'm going as this year. Even have the 12ga.

 

[eliphalet]

I hate to answer the door with a loaded gun scaring kids.

Gezzz lighten, up or move, or talk to someone about paranoia. IMO thinking like this is a little over the top and a guy might could use some help, with a move to a place you feel safe or dealing with your own inner fear, gosh something.
