Belly,

Apart from everything else, you are apparently incapable of answering my questions -

"I gather that you think that it was silly of me to ask if any posters have actually experienced assault or home invasion. I don't understand why you would think my question was silly. Please explain.

I also request that you explain why you think my question in any way suggests that I have a "bugger it, I'm OK" attitude to anyone who has suffered such indignities and crimes.

Can you do that, please? Or are you just going to continue shooting off your mouth without thinking?"

You obviously cannot answer a straightforward, polite question about YOUR OWN comments. As you always do, you have tried blame someone else to hide your ineptitude. I thought that you might be capable of sensible behaviour if I diplomatically asked you to explain what you meant, but I was wrong. You are certainly a no-go area.

ttbn why?
What part does your question play in this thread
What will be gained if I answer
Is you question just a rebuttal of the threads intent
Nevertheless one of 16 kids my mum gave birth to, the eldest of eight who survived yes
Age about 18 a sisters boyfriend broke in the door
He never did so again
Do you want to see the blood?
After he ran away and tried to driveaway, with every glass in his FJ Holden broken there was a bit
Helpful?

Belly,

Why would I want an answer? If you have to ask that question, you are even further behind the eight ball than I thought. There is really no point in trying to engage you at all.

At last! we agree in saying so it is long past time this country did far more for those in need of mental health intervention

ttbn, while I agree that few people, young or old, could hit an intruder with a hand gun, the sight of one pointed their way is usually enough to put the average crim, of the type who specialises in attacking the weak, to flight.

Personally I am totally unable to draw my old 70Lb hunting bow, I can still to pull a trigger. The big bang should be enough. The real problem is the oldie who would hesitate too long before actually shooting.

p/s How does one get blood out of white shirts?

In nine out of ten cases,The real problem is the oldie who actually shoots!
