If their property is zoned residential they are prohibited from raising fowl or stabling farm animals. They would either have to have farm assessment or "family farm" status, both designations have specific minimum lot size requirements.

George,

It is so refreshing to hear someone such as yourself say this. Most law enforcement personnel tell the average homeowner to just lock the doors and call the cops if there is any further problems. When we all know that it is up to the individual to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Isn't there a saying like "Seconds count when the police are only minutes away."

One of these days I'll apply for my LTCF here in PA. But my county requires a few extra hoops to jump through to get it. And then there is the time to actually go down to the county courthouse and get photo'd and actually get the license. For now I'll just keep it handy in the house and business.

Rick
Do you know if the "rubber bullets" I hear about are available to civilians? Maybe more people wouldn't be so hesitant about owning/carrying a firearm if non-lethal ammo was available. :gee:

Also, I wonder if Amendments are like muscles.......... if we don't exercise them, we could lose them. :flex: :confused:

Peace

We actually set up our own shooting range at the house. We can do pistols and rifles up to 150 yards. My son in law put metal plates in the ground showing yardage markers. Never hurts to practice. In fact he just got $ 42.00 from the scrap brass. Yeah the jar was pretty full !!!!!!

Rick
It would be great if our law enforcement could respond immediately but that is rare. I grabbed 2 people doing a home invasion out of pure luck. The call came in and I was a couple blocks away killing an injured deer. As I arrived at the residence, I took position in the dark area and approached the house. (Long gun in hand :) ) Caught both suspects leaving out the back door at the patio stairs. Even with help already coming, I proned them out and waited over 13 minutes for the next patrol to arrive. Long cold 13 minutes, lol. Point Im trying to make is we need to rely on our help, but we are in control of being prepared to protect our selves.

Nice to have a range like that. Good job
:D

Not a chance in hell in MA. Doubt any other states either. That would just rile up the pacifists, then we'd be hearing about how children will be shooting each others eyes out with rubber bullets. Will never happen.

Bottom line - get your permit, get the firearm of your choice, learn it inside & out so it's second nature to you, & get to the range & practice.

I carry daily for the same reason everyone carries auto, life, & homeowners insurance: not because we WANT to use it .... but it's there just in case. ;)

Be patient, they will be. In Maine a few years back we shot 19 people and a pickup truck. People felt bad about the truck. But it WAS parked on a woods road, so what could you expect, after all? Then a 13-year-old hunter carelessly shot and killed his buddy, but everyone said he was too young to be held criminally responsible. Which is true. But nobody seemed to put two and two together and figure out that, if he is too young to be held responsible, then just MAYBE he is too young to be running around the woods and fields with a high-powered rifle.

These are cheap enough and often make people think twice if they know they are being filmed.

Been looking for a camera system for some time now, anybody want to chime in with some honest reviews on what you own?
Got the other stuff covered well :shh:

I have wireless now, but I just bought this as a back up. http://1saleaday.com/wireless/

Shipping is slow there, but it does arrive.

In case you wanted to see the effects of some rounds. That 338 is my weapon of choice to reach out and touch someone. Wish I could afford one...... Santa?

Avoid CloseoutCCTV.com - bunch of arrogant juvenile morons working at this place. After sending my unit back there twice for repairs, I figured that part out. They had the attitude that it was "my fault" ... and I wasn't smart enough to figure the system out. I'll just say lucky for them they're in TX, or I'd have probably gone down there & shoved that DVR right up their collective asses! :mad: Morons ... I filed a complaint with the BBB ... then they tried to F me by saying the DVR was lost when I returned it for a refund. I just called my CC company & explained the situation. They refunded my cash ... but a couple months later I got a notice that the place was disputing the charges. So I just sent back all the same info I had sent before - tracking info, PO receipt, address, etc. Never heard about it again & still have my cash. I could've bee a real dick & demanded a refund for the cameras, wiring, LCD monitor, & power supply ..... but I'm honest. I expect it in return from fellow human beings ... :roll:

Anyway, the chinese systems work ... but they seem to be on the ragged edge of performance, & subject to a few strange flaws. The china cams I installed 2 years ago are all still working ... except one that had a wiring failure. I've had a couple other cams suffer wiring issues, but I was able to resolve them -- most of it was due to my cutting & splicing the coax, which isn't meant to be cut or spliced ...

I ended up finding an American company in NY: http://www.aventuracctv.com/ which I replaced my china DVR with. It works great, although doesn't have as many features as the china one had ... and it's MEGA expensive. At least it's still working though.

In talking with them I think they deal more with businesses, as the guy seemed confused as to why I was calling ... and then shocked when I bought their DVR. Whatever. It works.
