70yr Old Kills Two Punks

Dude, you better look at some stats, just found this on the Internet:

Indianapolis was ranked as the 33rd most dangerous city in the United States in the 2008–2009 edition of CQ Press's City Crime Rankings.[18]

I sure wouldn't want to live there unarmed! Any city in the 100 or less ranking would be too dangerous for me.

Oh, absolutely.

I'd seek professional help and counseling if I had to take a life even to protect myself or my family. To kill another human would rattle me to my core.

I don't even kill to eat, but I carry my Colt and stay proficient.

I live in a quiet, well-kept neighborhood, but it's sad that the world's come to this, random violence exists even in my little corner of Southeast Texas.:(
 
I kill to eat but still killing another human being is a different story. Your killing someones son, brother, father, friend, etc. all at once. True he did something bad that deserved it and it left you no choice, but still I think that would haunt you for life. Can't say that I could really relate until I was there.
 
You can't count on being completely safe in your home regardless where you live, but the neighborhood can make a huge difference. For the last 7 1/2 years I've lived only about 10 miles from one of my former homes. There, we we burglarized a few times (one of the thugs stole my Lorcin :D), vandalized, and threatened. We had neighbors who were assaulted, maimed and killed. Felt like we lived in a prison.

Our current neighborhood is not gated, but is considered one of the most exclusive areas in the county. The only crime happening here (that I'm aware of) was the murder of a wealthy business man, shot to death about five years ago in his $5M estate. The crime has not been solved, but the DA has been investigating his daughter-in-law for years. That's it. Oh.... the Sheriff's department once shot a high speed chase suspect who pulled a gun on them on a nearby dead end road.

So... an eighteen hundred person community on the fringe of the 7 million people in the Bay Area.... two incidents in 7 1/2 years is worth every penny of the mortgage I pay, thank you.

I don't live in the inner city, or in a crappy area. Most cities have a few sides of the town that are nicer. Anyone familiar with indy knows that the far northside is much quiter than other areas.
 
Thanks Indycolts,

It's good to know there are no home invasions or burgalries on the northside of Indianapolis!

By the way, do you rent?
 
i NEVER said that there wasn't burglaries on my side of the city, I DID say that it isn't the inner city and meant that there was A LOT less crime. Please sir don't assume I said something when I DIDN'T. And I don't rent.
 
If you can and want to live in a gated community that might help. Otherwise, the question is "where?"

Gated communities with a gate watchman are much safer than communities with an iron box and a scan key or pin number. The latter in my opinion only appears to be safe which could actually make the people in it less safe.

I used to have a girlfriend who lived in a unmanned gated community. The gate and driving distance was about half a mile. The easier method was to park in a parking lot next to the community and hop a fence. Then I was about 50 yards from her house. Most of the fence was iron with points on top, but near the dumpster it was all wooden fencing.

I dont know of any crimes ever commited in there, but it wouldnt be too hard.

Theres tons of ways to get into unmanned communities anyway. The easiest is just follow the person in front of you in once they open the gate. The gate has a sensor so it wont close on a car, if youre quick enough slide in behind them. I used to do this alot and no one even questioned me about it.

Plus the automatic gates break alot. I regularly go to about 3 different communities to visit friends and family and the gates are broken Id say 40% of the time. At each one. Not very safe.

Well at least you have the ability to know in advance, if and when someone is going to break down the front door your high-end home, or burgalrize it.

You must understand... Most of us do not have your ability.
 
dude, If I live in a neighborhood where I have to carry my gun while I'm at home, then its time to move my friend.

I really take issue with that. My father lives in an apartment in an area where there are shootings on a weekly basis. In fact, last summer there was a shooting every day for 16 days in the area. The area wasn't bad when he moved there, but it's been in a downhill spiral for some time. He's not quite the age of the man in the video, but uses a cane because he now has a steel bar holding his leg together (he was in Vietnam). He owns no weapons. He's basically a sitting duck.

He can't and won't move from that building. He's a grown man, it's not like I can just carry him out and bring him to my place. What am I supposed to do, call him up and say, "hey dad, I'd really like to visit, but won't because the neighborhood is bad enough to make me feel the need to carry. The next time I'll see you is at the funeral. Have a nice life." ?????? I think not.

There are good people that get stuck in rat holes. It's sad, but true. Some people can't just move when they feel like it. Your comment strikes me as slightly snobish. Perhaps you didn't mean it that way, but that's how I see it.

Anyway, that video was very educational. You can tell how difficult thinking about it still is for the poor guy.

Yes, in some areas the odds are in your favor, but I bet the wealthy business man wishes he would have carried the night he was shot!

By the way, do you carry a spare tire in your vehicle? I don't. If I felt like I needed to carry a spare tire I'd sell the car for something more reliable.

:D

If snobbish means that I wouldn't raise my kid in a high crime area, then brother I'm real friggin snobbish.:mad:

I don't wish to offend. I agree completely, it is best if children are not raised in an area with a high crime rate. My point was simply that some people can't just move.

Maybe he was carrying, but I don't think he was expecting his daughter-in-law to shoot him.

hey, trailers need love to, ok?

Yeah.... my first four houses had axles rather than basements. :)

Really? I've always heard trailer parks aren't so safe.
