I would like to thank all those who read and responded to my post about the incident I had a few weeks ago. My intentions on the subject was to remind Pards who may face something like that in the future to try to turn the odds in your favor should it turn bad. Had I know the reaction I stirred up I would not have posted the post. It did bring several thousand hits and a good number of replys on the subject and I feel that was good in the long run.

One thing that was pointed out to me in Over 300, almost 400 e-mails to me was the fact that we come from different areas of the counrty and some may live where their greatest chance of trouble may be a single robber. Where as other Pards myself included live in a much different envirement. I have gone out to check my fence line and found my fences cut and my livestock butchered and hunting cabins broken into and I have had armed drug runners and human traffickers shoot at me and my workers on MY OWN LAND. and its getting worst. In San Antonio, Where I live ever day I see the same thing car jacking and robberies and it is no longer a matter of one day it may happen but rather when it does will I be ready. I will not go futher on this subject but the inputs on the post were very helpful and a lot of information was shared on the matter.

 

I respect the moderators that they let the post run as long as it did and I was ready for it to be pulled anyway. I have enjoyed the fellowship on this web SASS and have met many of the greatest Pards in the world here. I do realize the subject on selfdefence does come up here from time to time and I really feel deep respect when active and retired Lawmen and people with experence contribit their experence and thoughts on the matter. If I can save one decent hard working family man that is a fellow Pard here with experence to help him should he ever face that time that is my goal. I will from time to time share a story here either one told to me by some of the really old timers I had the honor to know or perhaps a first hand experence I have had. If One does not like my post then they can ,,No I am not going to say that,,, they can press the button and go to the next post. Anyone who feels like adding something or has a question please send me a message, I return all my mail.

P.S. As some of you know I am an advanced gun collector and hunter and I enjoy exchanging information on the subject posted here.
