No problem, with my beliefs. But I'm not opposed to self-defense measures. I've never met anyone who is. I don't think I've read any such position expressed on this forum, either. It's a two-way street, defense and assistance. If a neighbor of mine said they wouldn't help me if I was in trouble I probably would ignore their pleas for help if I heard them of if I observed someone burglarizing their home or vehicle. To each his own, life.

Why if they have guns, and you don't?

Chihuahuas barking at my Rhodesian Ridgeback provided good enough amusement. But then, when it comes to dealing with immaturity, one just might have to stoop down to that level at display.

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>>

Same for me. No problema. I have the most fantastic neighbors, caring, concern for all in our cul-de-sac.

However one of my retal properties, one neighbor on the side, not so much. However just for me, personally i still would not put this sign up.

Reason being, just can't trust anyone anymore, no matter how sincere and likeable they are or not are..

Too many nuts out there today. Put a sign up, they can get even you know in other ways.

Let's have some fun with this one.

No, it does not say that. It says, "Come on in, stupid! We have guns in the our safe, and while you are working your idiot rear off to try and GET them, you're likely to get caught."

or it says...

"Come and get our guns, ya dumb dolt! Our alarm system's waiting for you. Let's get YOU off of the street."

Dogs are great, but guns are better. I wouldn't bring my dogs to a gunfight, they'd only get in the way.

Putting up signs isn't engaging in gun fights either. You completely missed the point.

What would be the grounds for a lawsuit, assuming that it was true? If my neighbor want's to outlaw my means and right of defending myself, and particularly if they choose to support organizations and politicians that want to do so, they are the ones being unneighborly. Nothing wrong with calling them on it. If they are so confident in their beliefs that law abiding people should be disarmed, they should be proud of it.
