    Do you have weapons at hand around the house?

    I sport a baseball bat on my headboard,a golfclub in the umbrella stand,two dogs and a couple of random hammers.

    Im ready.

    Do you have them strategically placed around the house?

    Like, every 15 inches, just in case the baddies come out of the woodwork.

    Aluminium baseball bat, machete, Remington 12 gauge pump-action (legally licensed firearm)

    When I'm at home I'm too busy relaxing watching TV to worry about a very doubtful home invasion.

    Angry dog, hungry wife or the other way round, I never remember.

    Ballpeen hammers are the tool for the job, I've found...after extensive research :D

    A gun would be much more efficient. What are you going do? hit the guy over the head with a hammer when you're suddenly awoken, can you imagine your nerves, the dogs can be easily bypassed by any pro thief.

    You need a glock pistol and an AR15 for backup. Put em down.

    Metal bar under the bed, thankfully haven't used it yet.

    Sig Sauer P226 & a Micro Tavor Tar21 X95S for CQB would be my weapons of choice :D;)

    You consider your dogs to be weapons? You shouldn't have dogs.

    You'd get some funny looks in the Middle East!

    I surround myself with pillows to lessen the incoming blows

    You've obviously never swung a dog around by its leg to ward off unwanted guests. Lethal.

    Thats absolutely ridiculous. What if it's dark and you cant find it?

    Must be left somewhere easily reachable.

    Cello-taped to your forehead, for example.

    If some fuck tries to break in to steal my collection of World Cup 1990 stickers I'm taking him and the rest of the house with me.

    I keep a hurl beside my bed. I've never played hurling in my life but somehow I've come to be in possession of a hurl. It's one of the oldies with the metal strip at the end.

    One day I decided to lean it in the corner next to my bed, just in case. It's gathering dust - hopefully I'll never need it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,607 ✭✭✭stoneill


    I have Liam Neeson living under the stairs for just such an eventuality.

    very hard to make me laugh but I burst out laughing at this. Just had an image of a dude doing really mundane things like brushing his teeth with c4 all strapped to him, well done sir!

    They don't get near my house there's a sentry gun on the lawn.

    My explosive belt is a little uncomfortable when hoovering but you can never be too careful. :pac:

    We bought the house in Springfield that runs away from danger to keep us safe

    You consider your dogs to be weapons? You shouldn't have dogs.

    Given the context of this thread, that's the silliest thing I've read so far this morning.

    I don't consider my dog to be a 'weapon' but I sleep easy at night knowing that if someone tries to break in there's a good chance they'll be leaving in an ambulance after getting mauled.

    It's in most dogs nature to protect their territory and master.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,669 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Well I have a wooden bat behind my bed, really thick as well. But I don't know if it'd be able to swing it properly without hitting the ceiling or a wall, so I reckon i'd have to shove the thing into the person's face or stomach in order to hurt them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,396 ✭✭✭Frosty McSnowballs


    I sleep in the coal bunker with a video link to the dummy in my bed. If anyone creeps in, I bail and leave the mrs and the dummy to take the hit.

    Sometimes if I do sleep in the bed,il wear an ultra gimp suit. The ones with spikes and a 12 inch serrated coq on the crotch....with a laser beam coming out of the tip for accuracy.

    No one wants to grapple with the guy that wears that.
