No. I don't. I've got a fundamental problem with me and weapons being in the same dwelling.

Somehow I should've figured.  What would you do if someone broke into your home while you were asleep and you had to hold them off until the police arrived.

I think you misunderstand.

It would violate the terms of my parole. I might use it again.

Seriously, your statement Liberator, displays either willful ignorance or an incredibly short term memory.

I'm a Constitutionalist. That includes, but is not limited to, supporting the 2nd Amendment vigorously. I may choose not to have a firearm or a sword (and I do so make that choice), but I reserve the right to do so.

To answer your incredibly ignorant question about someone breaking into my house, I'll beat them to death with a baseball bat (I have a wooden one and an aluminum one), or I'll grab my computer joystick (its 15lbs of aircraft aluminum and has nice corners for crushing a skull), or I'll forgo those and use some of the unarmed combat training I learned whilst working with the USMC during my time with ASF in the Navy.

So many options, and I don't have to have a sword or a gun. Nice that.

U know how many household items could be used as a weapon?  You really don't need anything more...

[Flipside]

Well, here you just have to hold them off long enough for the Police to come and arrest you :/

[Corsair]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....sword.....

I'd use my guitar

I'd probably use the fridge, which I can lift with one hand these days.

eh?

Just kick them in the nuts and chuck the into the garden.  If they have a gun or big sword, chuck something at them and run away.  It's better than the risk of serious injury, and that's what home & contents insurance is for.

Cause of death: impaled on frighteningly-spiky electric guitar.

I wonder if someone will do that with the FF swords

FF swords, like mosts anime stuff are just too....studip?
Overly big with lot's of unecessary stuff on them...

LOTR stuff kicks ass....

I don't own a gun cuz I'm that type of guy that would actually use it.  And not just in a break-in.  So I've decided to not buy one.  I wouldn't own a sword for defense for the simple fact that I'd probably end up cutting off one of my own appendage's from the nerves.  I'd be trying to swing it at the guy and forget my toes are in the way

U know, so many people can say they'd do this or that if someone was to break into their house at night.  But be honest with yourselves, no one really knows what they're going to do until they're put into that situation.  Maybe I'd grab the combat knife I have in the night stand and go gung-ho, or pee myself in bed, or maybe I'd just head for my back door in the kitchen in a full sprint.  Or maybe I end up dead from a fatal gun shot wound.  

I have the unfortunate thing of living in a studio, where the two doors out of the apartment are on the same wall (albeit about 20 feet away from each other and a wall between them), on the other side of the studio.  So from my bedroom there's no way out except thru the room the burglar would be in (and no door to lock myself in anywhere in the house).

There you go with the peeing thing again!

Noooo, do not damage the guitar!

I've got a multitude of throwable items I could hurl at any would be intruder, though I think my choice would be a big thermometer, you break into my house, I give you mercury poisoning.

< looks at pack of 4 shuriken >

I'm a pretty good shot with 'em too, and I ought to be, considering the amount of practice I had to do!
Actually Shuriken don't often cause fatal wounds, but it's hard to think about carrying a telly with a bit of metal embedded in your calf

I'd probably get arrested if I used them, once I used to care, but nowadays I don't, the Police aren't going to do sod all about protecting me, I already know that

If only I had a job...

A shuriken to the calf would be, I imagine, a sufficient deterrent for any burglar.

Speaking of vigilantiism, anyone got any tips on how to beat the **** out of a fourteen year old asshole with an Anti-Social behaviour order that he completely ignores, cause god damn I'm gonna kill the little **** and if possible I want to avoid prosecution.

Makes me laugh, they give the little ****er a curfew of 10:30 pm, kinda defeats the object of a curfew in my book, ASBO's are a joke, the police don't act on them and if anything the little ****s they strap them onto seem to think it's a badge of honour. What I wouldn't give to be 15 again so I could beat the **** outta him.
