Word, about stoned cretins. I heard this story from a good cop friend - now deceased, but was a good man -: a rookie cop emptied his clip into a stoned chap: all in the chest, and he was dead - but before he died, he still was able to come at the rookie and kill him with a knife before he actually gave up the ghost. If you are going to shoot a stoned person, they feel little or no pain. Even a .45 won't stop one: unless it's in the head. And Javier, you are right about the dogs, but mine was a docile collie and I wasn't home. If she had been trained to guard perhaps she would have taken a few bites out of them, but she was not a Doberan or Rotweiler or Shepherd. Wrong disposition for that sort of thing... I would say HRM has the right idea: double firewall... I just got a beautiful black Lab laid on me. Neighbor didn't want it. He's a bit hyper, but very good natured and wants to be inside with us. Still a pup, but getting big. He has received some rough treatment, as he flinches if I move my hands too suddenly, or have too stern a voice with him. He is in dire need of a bath, but it's cold out since that front came down, and he's too big to go in the tub. Probably never had a bath anyway, he's so filthy. He loves the boys and they really are attached to him already, and it's only been three days. And Javier's story demonstrates how fortunate we are here in our country: although it is deteriorating, we are still relatively safe and at the same time I would not venture forth on a step-thru Honda 50 these days like I did when I started riding back in '64. My wife wanted a smasll bike or moped and I told her nothin' doin'. You'll get run off the road to easily. \ And so it happened: she was going down the main drag here from work one evening and someone did try to run her off the road, but she did what I told her: drop it in second or third and give it the WOT. She left him "in the dust" and came home to thank me she was ast least on the 250. I said, and now you know why you need even more power on the open road...

I can say I have a lot of experience been robed in many occasions. The best advice I can give you is that dogs are way better than .22, or .38, or .45. I know many people believe its better protection, but from what I've seen it can be worse. On the other hand, having a dog it's always worthwhile. Trained dog? not necessary. Just making sure is a big one could be enough. I've had dogs all my live, and I can tell you if you love him and treat him with care any decent dog will kill and die to protect his home and his master. Cheers, Javier.

If you keep a piece for protection, make it a silver (chrome, nickle, etc.) one. The high visibility makes for a deterrent in itself. A small black one ? You'll probably have to use it. Guns and dogs are good, I have both. I once asked a man running for a state office if he had a cop. He didn't understand the question so I repeated it. "No" he said. I don't either, but I do have this and opened my jacket. He understood then. He turned out to be a good man and is a representative now. Rides a motorcycle, carries a gun. Look him up on-line..

Especially, like, a trained guard dog? It may not be as effective a deterrent as a 22, but would keep most of the two-legged rats away; and maybe would eat the four-legged ones. Last neighborhood I lived in here there were some dudes who came at night while I was at work and stole my tools and a lawn mower from my carport even with the dog (lawn mower didn't work - was just for parts, but I lost my tools). They used a long iron pipe to subdue her and broke the mailbox down jumping the fence/gate to get in. It was chained. From the looks of it, there had to be more than one; the lawn mower was not light enough for one person to lift it over the fence, nor was my toolbox. I was somewhat relieved to discover that a ring of thieves had pilfered houses across the whole neighborhood. A hit-and-run group from out of town. Yes, the neighborhood had turned into crackville. I found out when I went for a walk late one evening, only to see this huge dude with a needle in his arm calling to someone down the street to come help him, because he couldn't find his vein... To think, that area used to be the heart of affluence in this town... ________________________________ From: jeff scott <scott6...@yahoo.com> To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 1, 2009 3:04:24 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1984 Nighthawk 700s K&N Air filter Marie Tarring elementary, i am up Pontiac 5 blocks and yes they certainly are, this neighborhood was actually decent when i moved in 6 years ago but has gone to hell with all the drug dealers,Heroine addicts and crackheads.Last year we had at least 5 shootings around here.It's not a big deal to the news or police ,only one or two made the news.or the murder rate statistics in the Baltimore Sunpaper for that matter.I have 12 video cameras covering every inch of my property and locks & chains on both walk gates and both driveway gates and the animals still manage to get onto my property and break into my vehicle.My next project is hooking electric up to the perimeter fence around my property.
