Alarms help the police to get there to find the dead body while it's still warm :)
If that is actually true, I hope you do not drive, either. If properly trained and sufficiently careful, you are much more likely to hurt yourself or someone else with a car than a firearm. I suspect you are afraid of guns. Get with a local shooter, and face your fears. I doubt you will ever regret it, and the life you save may be one of your cubs.
"There's a subtext here and that is that increasingly, the state is being subsumed by post-industrial, non-productive, uneducated, Democrat-voting, illegitimately breeding, criminal half-wits. Now, we got to feed them for a while, at our expense, and probably three-six slatterns and their snivelling bastards at the same time."
Kenny,
Don't sugar-coat it, tell us what you REALLY think!
Can you spell "Meth-Cookers?"
Hey Bub, one can cook meth at home, these guys were probably looking to harvest their own or rip someone else's "secret garden", if ya know what I mean.
Exactly right.
And I'll bet the guy that was sent on the rescue mission was the acknowledged "smart" one.

Have you ever got that right. I feel like I'm in the path of a tsunami.
The local talk radio station in Bangor (WVOM) had Ethan Strimling (Commie-Portland) on this morning as a guest host, bestowing credibility on the smarmy SOB.
The cancer is metastasizing.
Wow. My hubby was 1st Sergeant of Transportation and I was the SATO Travel Agent. :)
My son-in-law was a gunner on the BUF over there.
That's ok. I'm not a gun lover. I have lived this long without one, so I will just have faith to get me through the rest of my life. :)
Mojo you're workin' overtime!
We probably know each other! I also ran the base thrift shop from about 83-85. My husband might have known yours; I didn't ever have occasion to use the SATO office. Our last name is Powell; the joke then was General Powell was related to us (he's not).
I bet our passes crossed from time to time! I sure miss this base. Nothing has been the same up here since they closed it. Business's are working out of Loring, but it just isn't the same.
As I see it, that should read "and about 130 years AHEAD OF the southern part in social attitudes".
Down here in GA I consider the rural areas far away from the Atlanta megalopolis to be the best parts of the state by a country mile. The trouble is that Atlanta will eventually cover the entire state of GA at the rate it's expanding, and probably spill over into AL, TN, and the Carolinas. IOW, the cancer is metastasizing.
Excellent !!!!
Think 9mm Markarov. Russian made small semi automatic, great gun for slef defence and home protection, 9 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger, little kickback and my wife's favorite.
As a matter of interest, back in 2003, the gun used in this was a 9mm Markarov.

And they are under 200 new in the box with a hoster and 2 magazines.
I loved Loring when we were there. It would make me sad to see it closed. Some of the best times of my life happened up there in the frozen north!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT !
GUNS 101 -- A History Refresher Course

m. 64,999,987 firearm owners killed no one yesterday.
n. Guns have only two enemies, Rust and Politicians.
o. Know guns, know peace and safety; No guns, no peace nor safety.
p. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
q. What is 911?
A government sponsored "Dial a Prayer".
r. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

It makes their job easier and safer.

w. Enforce the "gun control laws" in place; don't make more.
x. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
y. The American Revolution would never have happened with "Gun Control".
z. "....a government by the people, for the people......"
1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, & Chicago cops need guns.
2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.
3. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics."
4. The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into effect in 1994 are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991.
5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.
6. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.
7. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.
8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.
9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense -- give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p.125).
10. The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.
11. One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seatbelts, a civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for internal medicine, a computer programmer for hard drive problems, and Sarah Brady for firearms expertise.
12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1787, refers to the National Guard, which was created 130 years later, in 1917.
13. The National Guard, federally funded, with bases on federal land, using federally-owned weapons, vehicles, buildings and uniforms, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a "state" militia.
14. These phrases: "right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumerations herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people" all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arm" refers to the state.
15. "The Constitution is strong and will never change." But we should ban and seize all guns thereby violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments to that Constitution.
16. Rifles and handguns aren't necessary to national defense! Of course, the army has hundreds of thousands of them.
17. Private citizens shouldn't have handguns, because they aren't "military weapons", but private citizens shouldn't have "assault rifles", because they are military weapons.
18. In spite of waiting periods, background checks, finger printing, government forms, etc., guns today are too readily available, which is responsible for recent school shootings. In the 1940's, 1950's and1960's, anyone could buy guns at hardware stores, army surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, Sears mail order, no waiting, no background check, no fingerprints, no government forms and there were no school shootings.
19. The NRA's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign about kids handling guns is propaganda, but the anti-gun lobby's attempt to run a "don't touch" campaign is responsible social activity.
20. Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.
21. A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20.
22. Women are just as intelligent and capable as men but a woman with a gun is "an accident waiting to happen" and gun makers' advertisements aimed at women are "preying on their fears."
23. Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.
24. Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows.
25. A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority of the population supported owning slaves.
26. Any self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a "weapon of mass destruction" or an "assault weapon."
27. Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.
28. The right of Internet pornographers to exist cannot be questioned because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use of handguns for self defense is not really protected by the Bill of Rights.
29. Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters, computers, and typewriters, but self-defense only justifies bare hands.
30. The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution.
31. Charlton Heston, a movie actor as president of the NRA is a cheap lunatic who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas, a movie actor as a representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit.
32. Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do "civilians" who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition.
33. We should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns because it's not fair that poor people have access to guns too.
34. Private citizens don't need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.
35. Citizens don't need to carry a gun for personal protection but police chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with cops, need a gun.
36. "Assault weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people. The police need assault weapons. You do not.
37. Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon.
38. Handgun Control, Inc. says they want to "keep guns out of the wrong hands." Guess what? You have the wrong hands.
