<p>OOps…firearms</p>

<p>Greenleaf, Idaho – All Americans have the right to bear arms. Some towns have even gone as far as to require each household to have a gun. Now a small Idaho town is contemplating a similar idea-- it’s called the Civil Emergencies Ordinance. And although gun ownership is just one piece of this ordinance, it’s the part that’s getting the most attention.</p>

<p>The #1 cited reason by criminals as to why they chose not to break into certain homes is fear of a firearm. Although the best part of the article by far is:</p>

<p>So when is the John Brown going to occur? At MountainHome or Naval Weapons?</p>

<p>I hate Idaho so much.</p>

<p>Lots of nuts running around with guns in Idaho…:rolleyes:</p>

<p>I think those “nuts” are American citizens who legally own guns. I doubt if this ordinance will pass since it’s ridiculous, but isn’t that why it made national news? It’s kind of like requiring every home to have dictionary or a weed wacker. Come to think of it the dictionary idea should be legislated! :)</p>

Uh, just who took this “survey”, anyway? Was it the same folks who scientifically detemined that I should know roughly five people who have personally foiled a crime by using a gun within the past year ?</p>

<p>I’m just checking on how criminals know which house does or does not have a firearm, when they are choosing the ones to break into (pardon that dangling participle). Is there a sign in the window advertising as much?</p>

<p>I guess the trick is to have the gun accessible enough to grab it quick enough to deal with an intruder but inaccesible enough so that the kids can’t get to it.</p>

<p>No, no, Dad. I mean, those pesky intruders have to know that I don’t have a gun so they can break into my house, according to the above. I am just marveling at their clairvoyance.</p>

<p>Survivalist here. I’ve stashed 10# of dried cherries and 10# of prunes this year. I plan to defend myself by firing pits from the wrong end. Grossness is always a good defense against the darkside.</p>

<p>ok, so maybe everyone simply needs to put a sign in their window like one of those “these premises protected by Smith & Wesson” (can’t remember what those stickers say…Can’t you just see the crooks stopping mid-break-in once they read the sign?</p>

<p>Although, I have to admit that itstoomuch has a novel approach. Once I stop laughing I might go shopping. I’m lactose intolerant, so I may come up with my own method.</p>

13

<p>I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say that 99%+ of rural households in the US have a firearm.</p>

<p>If everyone in those small towns didn’t already have a gun and anyone made a fuss about it, those laws would probably be ruled unconstitutional.</p>

<p>Great. The number one killer with firearms is NOT a criminal, but someone you know. </p>

<p>Feel better now? I sure don’t.</p>
