we are in process of going under contract on home right now. RE agents, RE attorneys, and related administration is up and running (at least in central NC). In fact, this has been the best window for us because we would ordinarily be very bogged down with worked and picking kid up from daycare, sitting in traffic....its smooth sailing doing the home search right now.Wow, that sucks. Might not be great timing, but it sounds like you really need to re-evaluate your home location. Not easy I know, but most homes aren’t worth dying for. I’d also be doing some soul searching to see if this was random or caused by someone or something. Most homes don’t get shot up.
Stay safe and good luck.
From the pictures posted, it looks like a badge on the door ends in "S," so likely compassIf your vehicles are a Chevy Silverado and a Jeep Compass, I have seen the incident/investigation report on CPD's web site.
Sounds good...but did you know if you get a F on your report card, you can't even have that?
Do you want defense or not?
Bug sprays work on bugs, not humans.
And don't think that this can't be prosecuted for using bug spray on humans, either, because it most certainly can be.
And for everybody else...yeah, play the silly game about it simply being a "weapon of opportunity" of you wish. I get it and honestly discussed this with a couple attorneys for a while over conversations about self defense.
"It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling."
SO...take those arguments elsewhere, please. I've already had long talks about it and likely used every argument anyone is likely to bring up here.
ULTIMATELY... wasp spray is useless against humans. It's minimally effective and this has been proven in testing. So let's stop digesting it as a viable defense to plan around, because it's not.
When it comes to self defense, we shouldn't be actively fooling ourselves on the efficacy of such matters as weapons, tactics, and skills. The people in this forum are smarter than the average bear on such matters.
If a person who is otherwise "in the right" with respect to self defense is going to be charged with illegal possession of non-lethal CS spray (whose ONLY legal use is for self defense), then they're also going to be charged with violations of federal laws for not using chemical bug spray consistent with its labeling.
The difference is CS is actually effective whereas big spray is not.

Probably a stupid idea, but what if the wife owned a gun, say a shotgun secured by a biometric lock for which our felonious friend does not have access.
Something to show intent. Of course when all hell breaks she hands him a spare key.
This is not a joke... I'm terrified (we're all scared) for my family. I haven't slept in 3 nights. My wife's a wreck, I'm a wreck, our whole lives have been turned upside down. I don't know where to turn, I don't know who to trust. We can't get out fast enough!!! We still have the pandemic going on too. I still have the "application process" hurdle to pass, for a home. I feel we're still in danger. The police have done botched the report. All I ask for is help finding a home.From the pictures posted, it looks like a badge on the door ends in "S," so likely compass
Cant identify what kind of truck it is, but seems likely
I is confruzed.
Yep. OP has a thread or 2 here about such talkI is confruzed.
I’m guessing with yours and @concepthomes1 comments that there’s background discussion(s) I don't recall.
Yep. OP has a thread or 2 here about such talk
They are searchable for everyone

I can change that. Just tell me how? It wasn't intentional.He limits his profile I notice so you can't see what threads he's started.

If my post was popcorn worthy things have gotten too sensitive around these parts
That road has been traveled before. Popcorn is appropriate for some reruns.
I just can't suspend my common sense long enough to believe that his house was picked at random and no one else on the street had any problem.Do you think the attack was because of something that you did before your lock up? If so, you probably have an idea of who was behind it.

No sir, I won't. It's been discussed in my past threads. I understand why the group feels and thinks the way they do, and don't think for a minute I didn't entertain the idea of... my past came calling back. At the moment, as far as I tell. It's a no, it didn't have anything to do with me, or someone with something personal against me. Even if it was...would that make it okay??? If someone agrees exacting revenge in that way is okay, they need their head checked.So you won't take offense if I ask about your criminal history when your house happens to randomly be shot up.....

Check your speaking for others at the door!!!!!. You dont know anyones feelings but your own. I didnt see anyone justifying what happened to him. Its quite forward of you to tell him that anyone thinks others FEEL its justified.This statement wasn't directed towards you at all my friend. It was directed towards parties who seem to be less sympathetic to your problem than they would be if they didn't factor in your criminal history. I don't know what crimes they assume your spouse and children/dependents committed as well, but it seems evident to me that they feel your sins are enough to justify their apathy across the board.
I happen not to agree with them, whatever your trespasses, the apathy towards yourself and your family is not deserved.

I don't think anyone is showing apathy, especially towards the spouse and children. The poster has a criminal background and his home was targeted. I am not a detective but I would guess that someone from his past has found him and sending a message. No honor among thieves, you know, that kind of stuff. His wife and children just happen to be in the way.This statement wasn't directed towards you at all my friend.

I'm not saying your wrong, and I'm not saying your right, but what I will say is...if some of you was to take a stroll through this part of town, on foot, at say... I don't know, maybe after dark. I'd bet some wouldn't want to take that chance, empty handed, and that's a matter of fact.I don't think anyone is showing apathy, especially towards the spouse and children.

Someone once said, “If you are going someplace that you feel the particular need to take a gun, maybe you shouldn’t go.”I'm not saying your wrong, and I'm not saying your right, but what I will say is...if some of you was to take a stroll through this part of town, on foot, at say...

If you would happen to read what's written instead of injecting what you think others feel towards this situation would be helpful.
