now whos lacking comon sense?
Yea I have on advice of someone I like and respect.
Maybe some where in 95 I may have needed it on one or 2 ocassions - not that I ever had to use it even then. But after that I have only killed beer cans with it, and past 01 or 02 (my merced CA time frame) I think I have not even used it. My wife has a CCP - but she doesn't want that big honking thing ... typical girl huh. I'm like oooo yea that bugger is heavy, I want it ... she goes ewwww ... no. Audio equipment too. If it dont weigh 50-60lb I dont want it.
In a way I wont take credit for much of it.
House break in's are very uncommon and when they are, its always inside jobs. Why ? most people dont keep cash or other directly valuable items @ home - that is well known.
Remember in the 90's there used to be car break in's to steal your stereo. Guess what - doesn't happen any more. Why ? cos car stereo's are worthless.
My commercial value is in the driveway - everyone knows that. And in my case, no one cares, nothing is pretty and shiny and screaming out "steal me steal me" ...
Anyway there is no worthwhile reason to go up against me - that much is pretty obvious. Even the drug dealers in the hood nod and let it go. They have very little to gain and a lot to lose if they piss me off. I also am not the only one in my hood who has achieved "the we dont mess with the man and he dont mess with us" status. There is a couple other guys too.
Cool.
Srinath.
