Let's try this again.... My apartment got ransacked

The most common type of crime is Opportunistic Crime. This is characterized by the fact that the perpetrator does not seek to commit the crime unless the opportunity is made available. To clarify, most people will not walk through a parking lot looking for a car to steal. However if the “opportunity” of a car is left with the windows down, radio blaring, and engine running… all of a sudden some of the previously honest people will take advantage of the situation. On the same token, when a burglary falls under opportunistic crime it is because the victim allowed the perpetrator knowledge to commit the crime (made it too irresistible and/or easy). The transfer of this knowledge can occur directly or indirectly. Example 1. You tell your neighbor to watch your place while you are away…then your neighbor breaks in while you are gone. Example 2. As a deterrent to crime, you make it obvious to everyone within two square miles that you have numerous guns in your house and are not afraid to use them. The boys around the way pass word to each other not to mess with you. Then word gets out that you will be gone for a few days…(and nobody ever takes all of their guns with them).

My grandfather would always love to say “Locks only keep honest people honest”. (A dishonest person is going to “find a way”.)

Btw, I am glad you are part of the NRA.

Should have put this in the other post, but I didn't have the mindset to do so in my all out rage. I live in an area that's been taken over by gangs ever since they tore down the housing projects on Rosewood Drive. Gangs break into apartments and steal things for fun. So far, as far as I know, they stole my guns, and my computer. I've had my run ins with the gangs. I've caught them trying to break into my car, and they've tried to carjack me and I shot up their van. These dumbasses don't have enough sense to leave everyone the hell alone. If I'd been there, I'd have happily shot them. And yes, that's legal in South Carolina.

I'm moving.

I applaude you importracer and maybe shooting up their van wasn't the best idea. Calling the A-Team in and having BA chase them in his would have been a better idea. In all seriousness, I hope your Christmas present to yourself is a new home away from neighbors who are just tempted to rob people. What has gotten into our youth?

Not everyone breaks into houses and robs stuff. Granted it isn't always gang related but gang related violence is an issue.

Many people seem to think that guns are bad and all they do is kill people. There are four reasons you would own a gun: sport, self defense, you are a collector, or crime. Now the people that own guns for the first 3 reasons aren't usually the ones breaking into other peoples houses and are the ones that would suffer if the 2nd ammendment is taken away from us. People the break the law to steal or kill do not care about weapons bans and the good people with guns suffer. I hope no one on here says something like "Well you shouldn't have a gun, guns are dangerous" Josh has every right to own a gun (thank you founding fathers for the 2nd ammendment) and by the first ammendment, you have all the right to protest gun owners and NRA members, still many people who support gun control tend to get votes from people it will not affect, like people that break the law. One time in a class of mine, a student protested guns in the middle of class, she was laughed at. I think this sums it up best.

Sorry to derail Josh, I hope house hunting is going well!
