For U.K. members, think again about using hardware cloth in coops.

Yep i am two miles from the border myself though not in the path of humanity. California laws are pretty restrictive WRT hand guns. Though out here in the county we can carry a gun on our own property. Even in town (not the city) in a holster visable to everyone but it has to be unloaded. Though I rarely see one.

My neighbor uses a Cap and Ball revolver to call his cats in. Pretty hilarious to be sitting in his living room have go to the window Loaded revolver in hand pointed up in the air and Holler.... "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty" If they dont come he fires the gun at a target.... (on my property)

hes a good shot though. Within five ten seconds those cats come scrambling up to the window and are in the house.

I would only use a gun to protect myself. Property can be replaced.

On a serious note...I do agree, I would only use them to protect myself or my family. We take guns very seriously down here and dont mess around about that. However, when people know there are about 10 guns in every household it is a good detterent. I know everyone doesn't agree with me on that and I respect that.

Many ranchers have been attacked by illegal immigrants from across the border lately, as you should know living in South Cali. We have pretty good protection here in Texas but I feel sorry for the Arizonans, they have alot of desert to cover.

Mexico is getting worse and worse. IMHO we need to bring our guys back from Afganistan and Iraq and maybe help out Mexico. They are now one of the most dangerous places in the world because of our drug consumption.

Sigh.... too true. I went home last weekend to work on my Chicken coop a little. When I was done and left to go have a hamburger at "The" restaurant, I passed some border patrol on the road. They were tracking and carrying automatic wepons. I have Never seen that before.

I don't need to lock up my shed... garsh, I posted my place with "beware of dogs" since I have a couple mean ol' junk yard dogs. Then below that I posted a notice " Forget the dogs, beware of owner". As I also have a bunch of handguns, rifles, shotguns and I, my wife and kids know how to use each and every one of them. That and a 220 Commercial Meat Bandsaw plus a 220 Commercial Meat Grinder and a couple of very hungry visiting wild hogs to finish off their theiving carcass. So how are they then going to file a complaint for a wire scratch on their little pinkey from the insides of a couple now overstuffed with raw meat wild hogs just layin' in their waller' and digestin' ?

You have got to be kidding!!! Even in the ever ridiculous Massachusetts, we can again defend ourselves in our homes... There was a few years when the idiots in the Congress told us we had to run out of our houses and escape rather than defend ourselves. No offense to those out there that practice law, but lawyers sometimes are NOT NEEDED.

We do give prowlers fair warning around here. I'm all for letting them know what they are getting themselves into. BTW, this is on the side of our shed facing the road where you can't miss seeing it.

Where do you get those? I need one of those, I'm tired of people stealing my wood, metal, and tools. People come by here on garbage day and grab bikes, wheelbarrows, dryers, ext. that are next to the houses! Can't shoot cause I'm too busy working my butt off to replace what they stole. The cops don't give a flip either. It's sad what this world has come to.
