Sniper Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have those camera doorbells, a dog who thinks she's about 5 times her real size and assort things that go boom. But if I ain't here, well, the dog can bark and the camera record but alas, I can't stop it. Neighbor go this gun stolen earlier this year, cops came out and made a report. Nothing so far, 8 months later. So much for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobd1976 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I am sure it varies from one area to another. I had a good friend who lives in a rural setting. He saw a person fishing in the river which was on his property. Shot a few rounds in the air to scare him off. Person went to police and my friend was arrested for "reckless discharge of a firearm" and had his guns all confiscated. Unfortunately he passed away before he went to trial.

I don't have a Doberman, but I am also the owner of an Ithaca 37. .....I should have added, I do have a small dog and although he is not a Doberman, he doesn't know that, he is extremely alert and an excellent watchdog. If there is any slight noise or anything out of place he is quite vocal (loud)... I am a huge fan of both Ithaca 37's AND small dogs,although my all-time favorite dog was a big female Doberman that followed my mean-ass 5 lb Calico cat home one day,followed her into the house,and laid down in a big chair to take a nap. No collar,no tags,and I don't have a freaking clue how she and that cat became instant friends,but from that day forward,when the cat would come in at night,she would do figure 8's around the Dobie's legs,as the dog licked her until she was dripping. That was one mean cat,too. She was fearless,and would attack anything that pissed her off,including me. At the time she and the Dobie were expressing their affection for each other,I couldn't touch her without getting snarled at or scratched. Took a couple of years to make friends with her. At the time I got her,I was living in one of two houses on a non-working 30 acre horse farm some developer was going to turn into a housing developement. When the people in the other house moved away,they left the cat locked in the basement with no food or water. I saw the cat in the window,so I broke the window so she could get out,and she followed me into my house. Meanest damn cat I have ever seen,I have seen her attack a German Shepherd that wasn't even threatening her. She wasn't stupid,though. She was a major tactician. Every time I saw her do something like this,it was a sucker play to get the dog to chase her into an area so tight he would get hung up,and then she would get serious about trying to fudge him up. A later neighor owned the 100 lb German Shepherd I am writing about now,and within a month of us moving in next door,that dog would see my cat and run hide under his house. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only way they are going to get mine,and my guns will still be hot when and if they get them.

Knaveofdarts Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 That stinks, hate to hear it. I'd be furious too. Awfully specific items to steal, worthless to most people unless you know exactly what they are and who to sell them to. I'm partial to a simple sign that says "Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again" but thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobb Horn Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Knuckleharley, sorry to hear your health is down. When I have stomach difficulties, I eat cooked rice plain, not much taste, but settles the stomach good. In my rental unit, the tenant came home to missing guns, and security camera equipment/recorder stolen. After some time, found out he had borrowed money from the wrong people. I just let the rental stay empty now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have stomach difficulties, I eat cooked rice plain, not much taste, but settles the stomach good. We all have different chemical balances,but for ME,nothing settles my stomach like something that has vinegar in it. Something like Spiced ham/spiced luncheon loaf if the "top meat" for me,but if push comes to shove,I will just drink a capfull of vinegar from the vinegar bottle,and within seconds "the fire is out". And what is a Bar-B-Que sandwhich without vinegar? Acid reflux is nothing more than a LACK of acid in your stomach. Which means the food you are is literally rotting inside your stomach,instead of being broken down so you can digest it. Once I discovered this,I threw away my Rolaids have haven't bought any in decades. Plus,I use vinegar to remove rust from steel parts by letting them soak in vinegar overnight. This is especially good for small pieces that end up wiping out your fingerprints on the wire wheel. Leave them to soak overnight in a "vinegar bath",and they are squeaky clean the next day. I then pour the vinegar back into a container to use again. Once it gets so "corrupted" with rust and grease it stops working so well,I use it to kill weeds around the house. If I had a container big enough,I would fill it with vinegar and then soak car bodies in it to remove the rust. An ideal situation would be to have another container that big to dip with body in after steam cleaning and drying that was full of a hard primer base paint. You would basically eliminate the danger of rust coming back into your car unless it went into the ocean somehow. I may run out of many things at various times in my house or workshop,but vinegar will never be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I read that I knew you were from NC. To be honest I'm a fat guy, I like to eat but the only time I never finished a plate of BBQ was in Raleigh, I don't care for vinegar based BBQ apparently. Now around here BBQ means smoked over mesquite for hours. Where I grew up it was KC style, both of which I love. But vinegar, nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now around here BBQ means smoked over mesquite for hours. Where I grew up it was KC style, both of which I love. But vinegar, nope. I suspect that is due more to your body chemistry than anything else. I LOVE vinegar,but mostly because evidently my body doesn't produce enough bile (?) to properly digest some of the food I eat,and vinegar makes up for that. By the time I was a teenager I was to the point where I was never without 2 packs of Rolaids in my pocket to keep down the heartburn/acid reflux. Until I discovered vinegar as both a food flavoring and a medicine. It is rare to find a "medicine" that works so rapidly you can literally feel it working as you are taking it,but vinegar literally does that for me. Not that I need to use it everyday. I don't. Maybe once a month I might actually need it,but it is a gift from heaven when it is needed. And since I also like it,it's not a burden to take it when I do need it. Living life with constant acid reflux is not what anyone would describe as fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
