Boy, I surely would like to sit a spell and have a nice cold one or some sweet tea and jaw with you guys face to face some time.

I like the way you think.

A good point is made.  If I were to hear my daughter scream and someone telling her to "shut up" or telling her ANYTHING for that matter...I would go to PLAN B and enter her room with my M4, and my wife hot on my heels with her Benelli.  Violence and mayhem would ensue.  

I have planned for this too.  Our home is wired for all points of entry, including the silly little windows above the showers that a midget couldn't possibly get through.  All the windows and doors have decorative wrought iron security gates, so as to not look fortress-like, but still be a good deterrent to any would-be miscreant.  The alarm has a cellular backup with batteries.  And of course the dog, who sleeps IN my daughter's room on the end of her bed would be eating SOMEONE.  So, I don't believe that this will be an issue, that someone could get to her before I could in a break-in, but I have planned for it anyway...just in case.

My wife used to think I was paranoid until she became an LEO.  Now, she thinks I am just cautious, and perfectly reasonable in the precautions I have taken.  We live, not too terribly far from the border, and illegals are rounded up around here fairly routinely on their way to Phoenix.  A large, loud, mean looking dog is one helluva good thing to have to keep folks out of the backyard, house, and as an alarm when all else has failed.

I keep thinking of adding another boxer to our home.  I have fallen in love with the breed, and really like the protective nature of the female boxer.  I highly reccomend one for anyone looking for a loyal, intelligent, and protective dog for the home...one that also carries no stigma of being a vicious breed.

I believe I'd like that too.  Add some good BBQ and a trip out yonder to the range for some paper perforation...it'd be more fun than a barrel of monkeys with machine guns.

My wife thought the same thing, until home invasions and daytime household robberies became two of the top perpetrated crimes in our area. After several homes on our road were broken into she came around to my way of thinking.

And, BBQ is my specialty.........ribs and smoked shoulder to be exact.    ;)

My wife is a typical New Englander, splendid in the thought thinking the LE will watch our six.  She came around rather quickly when I reminded her, now that I have five pounds of metal in my ass, I can't outrun em anymore and HER safety is paramount.

My daughter carries her own 9mm so the wife figured that having a 240lb husband carrying a .45 or .357 wasn't a bad idea afterall!   ;D
