i had thought about that DF, my brother has a pretty nice Tippmann that is really powerfull i could use... but what if the person pulls out a knife? or a gun? that was my thought with the bean bags...

i know i cant just run outside and start shooting at people, my intentions with this were exactly what i said, if i needed to use my shotgun, atleast they would have the remote opportunity to have a chance at survival, vs me using a 3 inch slug... i would prefer to not have bone fragments shot into my leg while weed eating or doing other yard work...

i dont want to hurt, or kill anyone... but im getting really sick and tired of losing things that i bought because someone else cant figure out how to get them legally...

i had a 700+ dollar Weber BBQ once.... ONCE... i also had a nice weed eater before i had to go buy another one, i also had a bunch of nice tools for doing the rockeries and irrigation work and other such stuff, i also had alot of other things... as did my neighbors... they also steal peoples mail... and this isnt just within the last week, this is within the last 5 years... noone has done anything about it...

im not going to be stupid about this, a couple people suggested grabbing some Bird Blunts (rubber caps for your arrows), then use the bow... well an arrow comming out of a 70# Twin Cam will paralyze you if it hits your spine, if it hits the base of the neck, it would be lights out, forever... im alot more accurate with a shotgun than i am with a bow now, i havent shot tourneys with the bows in a long time, so i have lost my edge... so that isnt an option...

when it comes to things like this, my temper is going to be a problem, with a shotgun, or even a pistol with live ammo, i would be very cautious with how i acted, as i know the outcome... with a bat, in a confrontation, i would likely get myself in trouble... and even with a paintball gun, i would likely get in trouble because i have ZERO problem shooting someone in the face with it that is stealing from me.... and they could go blind and sue me.... with a shotgun i would have to be carefull, and it would be used as a last resort, well, an initial "WTF are you doing here, are you trying to get shot", then, see the response...

my neighbors that have been getting hammered to, one, the lady is 67 years old, and still works at Fred Meyer, the guy, is in his 40s early 50s tops, was a M60 Gunner in the Army, and he cant do sh!t, because he has Liver Cancer, and gets radiation treatements, hes been sick as hell the last week because of it... do you understand how a person would feel if they were a gunner in the Army, and couldnt even protect their family because they are too sick from Chemo? all he does is help people, run out of gas for the mower, he will fill it up, having car problems, he will take a look at it, and people are just taking from him... they siphoned out a full tank of gas from his Grand CHerokee, and continue to steal it from his Ford he thinks, because its using way to much gas he says... the full to empty tank in the Jeep is a no brainer, because he is waiting on a set of heads to get here, so it hasnt been driven... yet its empty.... there is even a post on GF right now about a guy that had his truck tank filler hose cut off so they could siphon the gas out of it, and that was at Lake Kapowsin, which is down the road a little....

i am sick and tired of this bullsh!t, im not trying to "protect Pierce County", but i sure as hell will protect my house, and my friends and neighbors houses.... 5 years is too long to deal with the same old sh!t... if the police will not protect us, why should i have to live in fear of something getting ripped off, or, what happens when theres nothing left outside, that they enter the house? why should i even have to deal with this? 5 years, seriously?

i fvkcin HATE Pierce County, ive had tweakers at the river pin my GF in with their cars because they thought she was the FBI watching them... then they saw me coming, and wanted no part of it... about 20 people on the river got a kick out of that one... she now carrys a CS Gas/Pepper Spray/Uv Dye combo squirter i bought for her.... and even without a CPL, i have been carrying to the river every time i go, because theres a loophole, and its legal for me to do so.... ive just had it, and honestly dont know what the hell to do anymore...
