The man has skill, what can I say! Anyone who tries to rob someone in a wheelchair deserves it!

One of my redneck neighbors a couple blocks away shot and killed a guy in his yard stealing lawn equipment from his work trailer a few weeks ago…

It is so easy to get a handgun and a concealed weapons permit here, more people have guns then people who don’t in Florida.

Not for nothing but how would you defend yourself if say the attackers’ intentions were to maim or kill you? Better safe than sorry in my opinion.

Just saw this Howie. Glad your parents weren’t hurt. I hope they get past this ok.

I’ll take this as a reminder to make the wife more aware of these kinds of things.

Take care…

from that article _“We need the police to regularly and frequently patrol the area to serve as a deterrent to crime,”_

Must say, I never felt safer in my life after my neighbor’s house was broken into. There was a police car creeping down the street every time I looked out my window day and night for about 2.5 weeks. Needless to say I haven’t seen one since.

If that happen to my family, I would be looking to knock some heads off too. Good luck!

I never open the door for someone I don’t know. Even girl scouts selling cookies. :gotme:
