I pity the dude who walks in my front door and meets my 70 pound lab-pit mix and my Ruger GP100 in 357 in the same day. Because both of these things are loyal to the end.

Isn't it kinda funny, at one time people though living in the "upscale" neighborhood made them immune to this type of thing. I can't say that at one point I wasn't along the same lines of thinking. Not living too far from this area, I don't feel any safer than if I lived in a higher crime rate neighborhood. Point is, as the economy and overall status of our country continues down the path that it's on, this will continue to be an ever increasing realization. Though I do consider my area to be relatively safe, I'm still not letting my guard down. Too much riding on making sure my family is well protected. As one poster already mentioned, some day one of these individuals is going to pick the wrong house, then it'll be game over. One less BG to worry about.

Wow this is news to me...glad I'm in the horrible state of NY right now too. It's amazing how many people I know in Carmel (I am from Carmel) including close friends, that think owning a gun is pointless. I try to tell them why, but nope, everyone has the attitude of "it wont happen to me". Pisses me off!!

I liked this quote from the article:

For those who don’t have a dog, 24-Hour News 8’s Julian Grace gives some tips to help protect yourself and your home.

Anyone know what Julian is recommending? My bet is it isn't a handgund, shotgun, or rifle.

I have faith in God, but I put my trust in CorBon.

I've always wondered why the majority of the home invasions happen in apartments and what I call vinyl villages. Seems like there is better chance of being spotted by neighbors in those area.

I live on an isolated street with 20 properties in a about a mile and a half stretch with 10 acre lots on either side of the road. They are half million dollar homes up to probably a million two. There are golf carts, gators, tractors, cars, jewlery, electronics etc. galore on the street. The houses sit back off the road a good distance and they are privatized from the neighboring property by mounds, trees, creeks, privacy fences and brush. Seems like our homes would be prime targets. I wonder if the criminals believe that the rural home owners are more likely to have firearms than many of the vinyl village homes or young apartment renters.

Ya you'd think a robber or burglar would think that rural homes more likely have firearms, but then again these thugs aren't too bright in the first place!!!
