I think you can shoot people that are trespassing in some states (texas), but definitly not all of them.

it is a great legal system you have. Remember the guy that slipped and broke something (cant remember right now) at the side of the pool while breaking into a house. Happened a about 10 years ago, but he won.

An alarm would be a good idea. 2-way pager w/ 1 mile range if you can afford it.

I would get an alarm with a pager. If you catch the guy breaking into your ride, you can beat the **** outa him and walk back into your house like it never happened. Then it will be his word against yours and chances are he has a record and his word aint worth shit.

shotguns are legal if youre 18, just not pistols //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

If im remembering right then an 18 year old cannot buy a hand gun from a federally licensed dealer but under many state laws he can buy one from private sales. Federal law says nothing about private sales, it does specifically say federally licensed dealer though. Of course when i learned all of this it was a couple of years ago so it could have changed. I gotta .380 and im only 19, it was a gift.

Back on topic. Park the car somewhere else? Or a alarm system you keep asking about would probably work as long as you guys will wake up from it.

lulz at park somewhere else. It is parked at his house.

i meant like in the back or somethin if he can. I know nothing of where he lives but around a lot of the older neighbor hoods around here there are alley ways in the back of just about every house. Again on the alarm system i believe some models will allow for additional hook ups for extra sirens.

Well, we can't park it anywhere else, my mom's car is parked in the garage and there is another car in there. I think an alarm will be the way to go. Can I get a good 2 way alarm for 150?

 

[Deeper_shades 10+ year member]

ya a 2 way would be your best bet, I suggest compustar, its better to spend a bit extra and get a reliable alarm

An alarm will be fine. It will make a lot of noise when the car gets broken into and scare away the burglar. They dont like attention being brought to them, especially at 2 am. An alarm saved my truck years ago. I had an old school mazda b2000 that looked like it had expensive equipment in it. And it was really easy to break into, all you need was a large flat tip screw driver in place of a key. Alarm woke me up at around two in the morning and I flew out the front door to see three guys running down the street.

Sweet! I am 21... The irony of this is that when I was younger, some ^$&*@* broke into our house and stole some things and my dads shotgun. He used it for hunting.

you must live in a bad part of town haha...but back on topic is there a lojack type thing for headunits??? or maybe you could just do the razor blade thing

 

[d-REW 10+ year member]

My dad told me that back in the day one of his brothers put small razor blades around the headunit after his sh it was stolen a few times. One day he went to his car and found blood all over, but the headunit was still there:laugh:
