Idgam,
You were brave mate, they could have been armed. Glad to scared them off and they left empty handed, we should be allowed to have guns in this country especially when you read some of the stories in the papers.
I sleep with a baseball bat next to my bed plus I have 3 large dogs in the hallway for good measure. Personally i would prefer to have a Glock than a baseball bat next to my bed. You americans are lucky you are allowed to defend yourselves, our country sends you to prison if you hurt the perp.

Oh it can be stupid here as well, in some states you can legally defend your property, but in ALL states if the guy breaks into your house - then slips and falls, he can sue you and WIN!!!!!!

I dread to think what the outcome would be in my house, my dogs will bite if they see anyone attack me or my wife. My oldest dog went crazy one day because I was working out on the punchbag, she bit the bag and was swinging from it hanging by her teeth (she isnt even a pitbull). I cant imagine how the perp would look after leaving my house, I have a warning sign so they cant say they didnt know. I have 2 shepherds and a Lab cross, they are the best thing you can buy for security + they make great companions who are always happy to see you.

This world has gone mad, someone hurts themselves trying to steal your stuff and you get sued.

+1 a good dog is always good to have, I still miss my Rottie "Babe" (like Paul Bunyan's Ox). He was a very sweet dog, just don't come near the house - that was his. 185lbs of muscle (his neck 34" around
), but when I took him to the park all the kids could play with him - he was that friendly. (again, just don't come to the house)

Not sure it was brave, and my wife thinks I was just plain stupid. I think the adrenaline just kicked in and I wanted them out of my house. I even chased them in my car to see if I could catch them, no luck.
Be careful out there, none of us on the board want to hear of a member getting killed by some low life doser. Personally my thoughts are that I can replace a car I just dont want them to hurt anything i cant replace, that would take me down a road i have no wish to travel.
