    As a serial intruder I would never enter a home without the means to protect myself from baseball bats, knives and golf clubs wielded by sleep groggy women. I usually bring along a sawn-off shotgun, brass-knuckles to knock the crap out of someone in one blow, and sometimes but not always I have a can of pepper spray. A blast of that and you're finished. I then proceed to beat my stupefied captive until she tells me where the valuables are. Further violence is optional depending on my mood.
    I tend to avoid houses that have a dog.

    Inner demons perhaps?

    LETHAL LADY

    Here's a pro-tip: You say you have your knives in the knife drawer, so if an unarmed intruder gets in, where is he going to go straight to? That's right, the knife drawer. So, how should you combat this? Well, you put the knives in the spoon drawer and the spoons in the knife drawer. Then, when it comes time for reaching for weapons, that round of knifey-spooney will be yours.

    ah, I see you've played knifey spooney before.

    Don't worry about stuff. If you want to rob from me, just take it, if you want to put a brick through my face, I reckon you'll do it wether my door is locked or not.

    Nah, just recommending you get a dog and then enjoy a good night's sleep. Doesn't have to be a big one. The noisy, yappy little bastards make me run like the clappers.

    3 dogs in the house. A MP police bat along with a bayonet plus a green laser 1000w output in that thing should blind him for a few seconds and beat the day lights out of them

    Really over-doing it, I must say. You've been given a gift - the horrible Cork accent - so a felt belts of "The fields of Athenry baii" should send any intruders, and indeed rodents in the area, running the opposite direction.

    The missus thinks I'm mad but I keep a machette beside the bed along with an extendable batton. I have 2 guns but these are kept in a gun safe and would not be realistically accessible if needed. To be honest if my house was broken into the only thing that would save me is that I keep the bedroom door locked which may buy me some time

    Golf clubs and other long weapons are actually pretty poor in a break-in situation. Most people wouldn't have the space and time to use effectively.

    As for dogs, yes good at dissuading casual opportunistic scumbags, the hardcore criminal element would have no qualms about putting a bullet in Rover or indeed poisoning/doping a few hours beforehand

    You most think every one in cork has a very strong cork accent, like the type u see in the tv.
    Coming from a cork lad I couldn't even get my accent that strong in fact I don't even have a cork accent.

    Have a firearm in the house but the intruder has to promise to play fair as it takes a while to deal with alarms, locks and firearm assembly. I keep the ammo and some parts hidden elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 498 ✭✭bobbytables


    Either there is sense to this or I'm full of ****, I'm not sure which, but my understnding is that if you have an obvious weapon in the house & **** up an intruder with it, you'll go down. However if it looks like an item that was most likely brought with the intruder & you manage to take control of it, flake away, it's ok.

    Live in or near a ghost estate I'm sure there's plenty of "weapons" to be found.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭PandaX9


    Well i live in house full of scary Russian me son I can't picture myself being too in danger, however if I was every left alone..

    Having a keen interest in cooking, my kitchen is literally showered in knifes.

    Buuiuuut I don't think I'd ever need them that much as I have an exact replica of the sword Russell Crowe had in the opening of Gladiator in my wardrobe. All I've have to do is stroll downstairs with that baby brandished over my shoulder and those intruders will (hopefully) sort themselves out.

    Has happening to a few people I know their dogs were poisoned a few days before the break ins one person had it dropped into the letter box dog ate it..

    Assuming you don't have a gun, a shorter club that you can swing faster in tighter confines. Or a tazer/stun gun.

    Disadvantage: You need to get pretty close to the criminal. But that's also a risk from his point of view.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 903 ✭✭✭Herrick


    There was a theft in my area recently and I was so worried about being broken into, I had to buy myself a shotgun and everything. I wouldn't hesitate to use it now. If that man came in and tried to steal any of the whistles in here... I'd blow his feckin' head off his shoulders!
    I have it cocked an' all so I can get the jump on him.

    You can buy pepper spray on the net. Also u can buy the spray the usmc use it's some sort of mustard spray it's twice the price of the pepper. You could get a letter off a land owner telling u it's ok to shoot in his land and take it to your local station with a serial number of a gun u have put away

    Lads, advising people how to get their hands on weapons legally for illegal usage is pretty shady at best.

    If you're not trained in using a firearm then it's utterly retarded to buy one as it WILL be used against you or by you in a way that will harm you or others around you. There is not, to my knowledge anyway, defensive firearm training here in Ireland and to become adept with a gun through hunting or sport shooting, so much so that it would be a viable choice for defense, would be a big investment of time and other resources.

    Buying a firearm as someone who has not used firearms for the sole purpose of "just in case" will lead to nothing but trouble and people here, particularly firearms owners, should have more cop on than to be advising how to go about it. What do you want lads, for them to tighten up gun laws even further?

    Sorry for the seriousness in what has been a light hearted thread but jesus, telling people how to go about getting a gun when they've clearly no experience with them is utterly apprehensible.

    Well I wouldn't call it rocket science in how to get a gun. Just cos every one applies for one doesn't mean their going to get on...

    The law has changed already to get a gun now you most get a doctors cert (ur not going to kill ppl or ur self with it)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 223 ✭✭TehDagsBass


    Irresponsible gun ownership is what is causing a massive amount of needless deaths in the states every year. We don't need that here and I certainly don't think it's appropriate to advise people who've little/no experience with firearms how to circumvent the law in order to get one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭TheBegotten


    Personally speaking I always plan ahead for intruders and such types. Hanging from the bedpost on a shoestring is a baseball bat, just in case in a deep sleep I am remotely able to defend myself when an intruder enters.

    At my front and back door are used golf clubs hidden in strategic places just in case our home faces an attack.

    I also keep a large arsenal of knives in a knife drawer for cooking mainly but if ever came the need to defend myself I know where they are.

    So are you ready for an attack?

    I have a small dog that sounds like a big dog. Does that count? Just grab something from the shed outside. More importantly, what about the zombie apocalyspe?

    Because firearms aren't licensed here for home protection. You're advising someone how to obtain a firearm that has been licensed for X activity when they've no intention of using it for that, but instead for a completely illegal usage.

    I'm not sure where exactly the law falls on such advice but I can't imagine Boards.ie wants to be known for letting people advise people how to obtain firearms for potentially criminal uses.

    Excellent point, fine sir.
    Throughout my litany of breakins I have always carried a firearm. Now rarely have I sought the need to continue my larceny if I am inconvenienced. Indeed I would have no qualms about shooting a dog.....but the thing is....it's easier to shoot a human who's attacking me with a bat than just blasting a hound who is botching my operation. I tend to call it quits when the yelping starts and the lights go on upstairs.

    Incidentally, I've never burgled an apartment. They're an excellent defence mechanism. I can't get in easy....I sure as hell can't jump from a window if things go awry and there are multiple obstacles to be overcome such as front lobby security, stairs, etc. before I even gain access.
    Semi detacheds are best. Front and back access and the neighbour's property to confuse my target in the event of suspicion.

    lol, I can make a phone call and have a pistol in 20 mins. Sadly, it's easier to get an illegal firearm than a legal one. I laugh a lot when I hear the likes of Shatter spout crap about "stricter gun licencing laws" which really only affect the law abiding citizens.
