Didn't like the thread on this topic last year?
Must be a slow non-news day.

He said that putting up an ADT sign is usually enough to deter burglars, and if that doesn't work then put up a sign that says "We have ADT and guns. But the neighbor doesn't!!"
Then he's a jerk.
Who cares what you do, but to direct criminals to neighbors just means that you're a jerk who hasn't enough sense to own a gun.
Why not put up a sign that says, there are teen aged girls next door whose parents work evenings.
Care to rape them?
The more I read this crap, the more I fear that most gun owners are immature, irresponsible jerks.
I had no real opinion about gun ownership, but the more idiot gun owners I encounter are changing my mind for me.
BTW, how often has your house had a robbery or attempt?
And if it's frequently, you need to move to a safer neighborhood.
When I live in the states, I live in the inner city. I've never been robbed and I'm old.

I disagree, the idiot gun owners on CD certainly yap like they would.
They are mostly angry and wish harm on those who don't want to be armed.

Exactly right. I have no problem with people who don't want to own a gun, until they don't want me owning one either. It's a proven fact that crime on the street goes down when the public is allowed carry permits. B&E and FE crime skyrockets when guns are banned, just as it has in London.
Perception is everything, but it's handy to have a few weapons; just in case!
I want to add a Keltec RFB to my suite of arms, but Cali wants a welded in clip. So I can own one only after ruining it. <<sigh>>
It sounds like you really need to get out of that state. The more I read from people in California, and the more CA refugees I talk to, I have to wonder what country CA is really part of. Sure doesn't seem like the United States. Though after reading about Bloomberg's childish antics, I guess I could say the same of NY.
This has been floating around the gun boards for years, but I don't recall it being discussed here. We seem to have a lot of anti-self defense posters here, figured it was worth while to see if any of them had a problem with it.
Nah, I think the neighbors would be proud. They would erect a sign themselves to express their 1st Amendment Rights.

Now that thar's funny. Black belt fist. That ought to have the criminal types rolling on the ground in laughter. Right up there with the Taco Bell Chichua guard dog.
true, not everyone does feel the need to own a firearm, right up until they need one.
Vast majority of people will never shoot another person.
