And thus why I keep everything of value to me in my bedroom with only one -locked- way to get in. Because there is no way that I girl my age, weight and strength could defend herself against anybody. I'm legally not allowed to have guns, knives, explosives, any "Shooting weapons,"[including pepper spray] or a tazzer. If I were to punch someone, I could be tried as an adult.
And yet they expect me to be safe?

You should put a hole in your floor and cover it with a rug. That way, its the burglars fault for being clumsy.

Watch this, it spends a lot of time talking about a gun that shoots shurikens and lighting, and what game actually has it.

People break into my house they will be leaving with broken bones and black eyes. But i guess the nearest weapon i would grab is a bokken on top of my desk if I'm in a kitchen i would grab the sharpest knife i can find.

Here's a fun story to throw in the face of criminals everywhere:

A buddy of mine was staying at a friend of his' house. They were having a grand ol' time, stayin up, drinking, playing poker. (Texas Hold 'Em, if I remember correctly). Well, at around 2:30 in the morning, my friend's friend heard a loud crash, followed by a scream from his girlfriend, who was in his bedroom at the time. Both friends bolted down the hall and found this brick wall of a black guy standing there, his pockets stuffed with her jewellery. He had snuck in through the window and had been picking this stuff up while she was sleeping in the same room.

Oddly enough, my buddy reacted first. Now bear in mind, he's a muscular guy, but he was giving up about a foot and a half in height to this guy. Didin't matter. He leapt on the intruder and started beating the ever-living crap out of the guy, took him to the ground, and kept going to town on his face. Finally, his buddy (the house owner) grabs my friend and hauls him off the intruder, then HE starts kicking the crap out of him. When the guy is bloody and battered, and not moving very much, the home owner goes and grabs a can of Axe body spray and a lighter. (we can see where this is going, right?)

So, when the cops showed up a few minutes later, there he was, still torching the guy, who was screaming bloody murder as his face was crispening. The cops camew in, guns drawn, then started laughing hysterically, and stood there while this guy burned a few more skin cells off of the intruder. They finally stepped in and handcuffed the intruder, then hauled him out onto the front yard, which was all dirt, and shoved him face-down into the dirt, and held him there until an ambulance arrived. Apparently, even without a face, they could see enough of the tattoo the guy had on the back of his neck. The intruder was a local gang-banging piece of s**t wanted for several other robberies, two counts of assault, and one murder.

This story has an even happier ending. The Homeowner, and my friend, both got off scott-free, without so much as a day in court to testify. The cops took their statements, shook the pyro's hand, and damn near threw the crispy critter ******** into the ambulance. He's locked up to this day, still minus a face.

even more awesomer because it's true. Where I live, we don't have sympathy for criminals, or gang-bangers.

!SoCk_FeTiSh!
And in the end, the love you take
I'm with you on this one.
It's absolutely rediculous that people can get in trouble for self defence.
You have every right to scare the intruder off in any way.
.
Criminals are given too much sympathy, like one case I heard.
A man was breaking into someone's house through the skylight,
he fell and broke his leg and then successfully sued the homeowner.
What madness is that?
And another, I don't remember it exactly, but it went along the lines of:
a late teen-early tweny year old girl's ex-boyfriend
came to the girl's house when the family was out in the yard.
He grabbed the girl and, from what I understand, tried to kidnap her.
The girl's dad chased the guy with a bat or something.
The dad was charged with "assault with a deadly weapon."
A man came onto his property and tried to take his daughter!
What do they expect him to do?!
It really ticks me off.
Oh, and the girl's ex didn't get in trouble : emotion_facepalm :
.
If anyone broke into my house, I'd hit them with whatever I could reach,
and if I got in trouble for it, I would fight that case with all I had.

Is equal to the love you make.
I honestly thought that skylight story involved the guy getting cut on some kitchen knives he landed on or around, and won the case... Either way, it's still ridiculous, especially considering it was his fault.

I'm totally with ya Strideo. I'm gonna get out whatever I can get my hands on and whack away.
