My home security sign

[jimmyj]

Thanks to everyone who had a cautionry warnings for me. I have to say that I fear not. Friends, I am 75 years old. I stopped being afraid to die at the Bay of Pigs when I was 18 years old. ThT was reinforced during the urban Missile crisis. I spent many days on an APA with a thousand other Marines ready to invade Cuba. It is weird getting used to the idea that you could die in a matter of hours, but you get used to it. By the time I did the first of my four tours in Nam I just assumed that I would eventuually die in combat. Well I am still here, and I do not fear death or worse.

My wife passed. My kids are adults with families and they jointly own all of what used to be my assets including my house thanks to a bright accountant friend of mine. When I die my social security and military retirement pay ends. I have nothing to lose but my life, and I have not feared that for over six decades.

The Corps is not going to come after me as some have suggested. They actually love the publicity, and they are not about to prosecute a 30 year career Master Gunnery Sergeant with 2 Purple Hearts ans two Bronze Strars and more battle ribbons that anyone who might head the prosecution.

As for the local authorities, bring them on. I might lose but they would understand the Marine battle philosophy that if we actually lose, the enemy will understand it was in the worst fight of its life and never want to be in that state again..

I am not going to shoot anyone on my front lawn. But if they come thtoigh the door uninvited or unpermitted they are in serious jeopardy. PA State Law is clear on when I can shoot the home invader, and it makes it clear that If the invader does not flee on command, I can send him to new destination.

Many know the slogan Semper Fi Do or Die. Marines are serious when they say that.

I WANT YOU TO BE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR !

Wish I could give you more than one like for that one.
And another thanks for your service.

And I was just whining about having to put up the Christmas lights today. Thanks for helping me grow a pair. God bless you Sir.

1. It advertises you have guns.

2. Some or many retirement communities
frown on or ban members having firearms.
And if not, members possibly could change
by-laws to make it so.

Re #1. That is why I deployed it.

Re#2. No ban here, and should there be a ban that denies me a Constitutional Right that is particularly aimed at home Defense from the 2A was passed I will sue them. My gun owning friends here will surely join in with me. Many retired police with guns here and fewer gun owning vets.

+1!

And thank you both for your service!

 

[misswired]

I don't see a problem... No bad guys, neighbors,
lawyers, thieves or bad attitudes... Unless they can't read!

 

[HardlyAble2]

this also is very effective...

Good grief . . .

Let the dude have his fun. It's annoying when everybody else knows better, especially when you know they've never been in the positions they warn against. "Don't actually shoot somebody, don't advertise that you have guns, if you do shoot somebody take that sign down, don't act like you're mean, etc. etc. etc."

 

[jmr986]

You sir are a bad ***! Glad you were protecting us for those many years.

Thank you for your service. God bless.

My thoughts exactly. And this whole mindset of "Take the sign down if you shoot someone" is ridiculous. If I shot an intruder, someone breaking into my house, should I run outside and take down all my "No Trespassing" signs? Of course not. The OP's sign may be kinda funny, or somewhat "cute", but it has the same legal weight as a "No Trespassing" or a "Do Not Enter" sign.

It's no different, far as I'm concerned, as those warning signs seen at businesses that say an armed response or lethal force will be used by security personnel.

Now that would make a good sign. A
