yea im going to the one at groits and then going for a cruise after ahah. i dont mind someone following me home, its their ***. my neighbor is a hella cool cop too ahahah. he said if he ever caught someone trying to steal or cars he would say they had a knife and let us beat the hell out of them. main reason being a couple of kids in a honda civic actually tried to steal his cop car and he hit one with a steel bat and he got sued.

Just be smart-

If you see a car following you, don't drive home.

Get a concealed weapons permit to carry at all times.

Don't park in dumb places.
Problems solved.

Then you have to leave the shotgun in your car when you park somewhere. So now they steal your car and shotgun.

It's not illegal just frowned upon You can open carry in Washington if you want, but you will get hassled.

Its cool having guns and all but my neighbors house got robbed last month and they jacked two of his AK47's that are registered under his name and his shotguns. Big weapons can be too much of a hassle.

Having my car jacked couple of times and always just watching my **** get sold around to other people on craigslist back and forth it sucks. What detectives have told me the only way to legally get your stuff back is good to have them marked with serial numbers or etched if they dont have any so then you can prove they are yours.

well I always just try to have an alarm of some kind in any of my vehicles, than on top of that I live in a faily well lit condo complex where everyone is very aware of shady ****.
We've had people stuff jacked in the past, scooters and bikes mostly, but now all the owners are super on the look out for that stuff, and with so many people coming and going and different times of the night, it actually deters people from stealing where we are at

Your neighbor is a moron for not having his guns properly locked up in a safe. Sorry, but it's not like you need a full arsenal out in the open unless you plan on being raded and want to fight back. Pistol in the night stand and a home defense 12ga behind your bedroom door is all you need unlocked.

I dont know them too well to know exact details, but I feel you on that one, all guns should be locked up in a safe with the exception of a hand gun next to you. I think if anything a safely guarded home, like flood lights, a well trained dog, an alarm system is just as good to keep thieves out. As for cars, be glad that its just your ride and its not like you lost your life. I have heard stories of people getting jumped and getting the sh*t beat out of them just for like $20bucks and their phone.

it's just a sign of the times. when the economy goes down, more people are out of work and you've got people with college degrees doing the only jobs that someone with a bad track record can get, those guys are usually kicked out on the curb. forced to do the only thing they were probably good at, steel ****.

just don't be dumb about it, protect your investment. get a decent alarm with an added kill switch for extra safety, park in well lit areas, and double check the area as your driving home and when you get home. and it doesn't hurt to be nice to your neighbors, I've personally seen first hand people walk right past something shaddy going on, and never say anything to the owner. **** I say stuff to complete strangers if I'm not 100% sure about a situation being legit or not. and I've actually saved someone from getting their car jacked cause I yelled at someone saying I was gonna call the cops if they didn't stop what they were doing. they ended up booking it to a parked car down the street.

the answer is Hollow Points. Once a few car thieves get gunned down, they'll def start to rethink their choices. just gotta make sure its self defense

Just rig your car with C4 explosives.

If your car goes boom, at least it went to a good cause.

That'd be one less thief and hopefully no innocent bystanders.

nah that's not practical at all considering you loose your ride. What you do is call the cops, and while on the line with emergency response, that's when you yell at the theives. than regardless if they run at you or not, you say into the phone, "oh **** their coming toward us please hurry" or something along those lines, so it puts on record that they provoked the fight. than have your homies beat the **** out of them, that way it shows it was self defense. and if the theives try to say they were provoked who are they going to believe, the person on the phone dialing 911 who the people stealing the car?

After my long drive from meets, I'm sure they'd loose interest.
