If it turns out just to be a lost avon lady...or hell a thug that thinks the better of his mark for whatever reason, no need to worry about "Man with a Gun" call, and potential made-up-charges.<br /><br />(All they need to say is you swept them with the muzzle, or said something terse, and you're looking at assault charges)<br /><br />Better they not know how close they have just come to getting shot.Weer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867503761315699133.post-20132750427984060252010-05-26T13:45:22.549-04:002010-05-26T13:45:22.549-04:00Get a gun.

Once my daughter gets the required permit (it's MA after all), I plan to teach her how to handle, load, and shoot it so she can defend herself when she's home and I'm not. I still have to work on Mrs. TOTWTYTR to get her permit too. <br /><br />Nothing says "We're not interested." better than answering the door with a shotgun in hand. It's sure cure for the salesman who won't take no for an answer. ;)TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.com
