Gotta love nature!!

The problem with gun ownership is that it is a vicious circle.
I sometimes think that I would like to have a gun under the pillow incase of an intruder, but if that was likely then the intruder would probably think that he had better have a gun incase the householder has one, and as he is awake and no doubt running on adrenalin the odds are in his favour, so I guess its better just to hand over the money and call the cops/insurance.

You’re stating effect and cause not cause and effect.

The safest protection is a pump or a semiautomatic shot gun. The sound of the shell injecting would be enough to persuade any but actual murderers to leave. So if after hearing the sound they don’t vacate odds are you would need to shoot them.

If you have a 2 story home and your family sleeps upstairs. The safest thing to do is stay at the top of the stairs in the shadow where you can a clear vision of downstairs. This gives you the advantage of surprise.

Once they cross the threshold, they are a target. One reason I have two big dogs, to discourge that crossing of the threshold.

I would suggest if you have 2 big dogs that bark, the thought of entering your house by a petty thief would be revisited and they try somewhere else

However, the petty thief doesn't know if the owner has a gun so takes a chance and may end up dead. Slightly different from a dog bite I suspect.

Do you have a gun FoFa?

I'm not going to argue over this any longer. I am pooped out! (means Tired). However, perhaps this can be debated later on when I am not at work. . Guess I better get back to work now.

I now know there are two subjects not to broach on this forum. Guns and BDSM. . Anything else I need to know about. *laughs*

I will don my sweet southern accent and offer y'all some homemade Sweet Ice Tea. *giggles*

No, I have about 20

... I would shoot if I had the gun. That is if I didn't have pepper spray handy. (Which by the way I am getting VERY soon before my next semester starts in the spring)

Pretty AND Smart.

Ahh, thank you! Also, don't forget sassy! *giggles*

See my shamless plug to look at my profile worked.

Isn't the US motto "Happiness is a warm gun?" (written by John Lennon, born UK, killed by a gun in the USA by a crazy gunslinger)

Isn't that song a penis metaphor?

mwhhhaaaa More than likely.

Interesting how this thread turned from nature and squirrels to guns, thanks again to some of the UK posters. Gotta love those hijackers! Threads, that is.

I have a squirrel proof feeder (bird), and it is a real trip watching them trying to get into that. Maybe that is why they drop acorns one me. My neigbor just uses a pellet gun to keep them away from his, but I think mine works better. I also have a hanging bird feeder that I feed them with, but they have to either climb along a wire, down a wire, then hang on with the rear legs while grabbing a tidbit, or make a leap and swing uncontrolably when they grab the feeder, That is milding entertaining also.

Yes, I love to watch the ones that spin once the squirrel gets on it. That is so funny.

A squirrel will empty a bird feeder fast. My grandmother puts cooking oil, lard, etc on the poles of her so they can't climb up it.

They are cute and fun to watch, but can do damage to property and people.

But please don't forget the gumbo.

I probably had some, and didn't know it yet. Again, I never asked my grandfather what we ate. He simply said, 'Taste Like Chicken'.

Those little guys are pretty dang clever. There are very few anti-squirrel bird feeders out there that work. A lot of the time squirrels will team up to accomplish their objective and a lot of the squirrel proof feeder manufacturers don't take that into account.

Ohh, I love froggies I would hate to eat them *sniffs*

They can gang up and defeat a bird feeder, but yet can't figure out how to stay out of the road. I have almost wrecked my car trying not to hit those li'l suckers.
