How's anybody going to mistake Steveo,

covered in white chicken feathers, for a cop?

I think the issue is that a cop could mistake

-you- for a gang-banger or some other

gun-toting urban warrior. Strange as it may

seem, these guys are looking out for you,

Leland.

All the more reason to address the situation

with something more than a BB gun. If you

really live in the area that Steve says, you

should have learned by now that determined

criminals are never deterred by a mere

handgun -- you need to show them the dark

recesses of a barrel larger than your big toe.

For about twice the price of your

carbon-dioxide-powered fly-swatter you can

get yourself an H&R (Stevens?) single-shot

12-gauge. And don't load it with lead or steel

shot. Empty the shells and refill them with rock
salt. I saw that trick in a movie once and it

works. Hurts like hell but it isn't lethal, so the

worst you can get is 2nd degree assault

(depending on your local laws), which sure

beats spending several years and thousands

of dollars fighting an involuntary manslaughter
charge.

Horrible advice. Rock salt is poor idea for anything but animals in
your yard or garden. One of the first rules of firearm safety taught in
ALL legitimate courses concerning firearms as a means of personal
protection is one NEVER pulls a gun unless one intends to shoot, and
when one shoots, one shoots to kill.
If one is trying to gain entry into your home, or if your life is in
danger, rock salt is not going to stop an adrenaline charged assailant.
If there was a clear fear for your life or if the assailant was
attempting to gain unauthorized entry to your home, there will be no
charges filed upon your protection of your life and property when a
clear danger was imminent.

(Also why the paranoia when answering

the door? I don't answer the front door with a

gun in my hand (toy or not).)

Also, if a felon is brandishing a gun ( doesn't matter if it is a BB
gun or an AK) it is grounds for returning to prison.
